com From the Oval Office: There have been rumors that spring is coming, but last night, all I could hear was the laughter of the Frost Giants as they dumped six inches of snow on Woodbine!

I incautiously left the huge Trailer Life campground book out where Marijane could look at it. Guess what...we're going to Bailey's Park in Door County, Wisconsin in July!

While this has been comparatively, a "nice" winter, we are all anxious for the travel trailer season to arrive. I incautiously left the huge Trailer Life campground book out where Marijane could look at it. Guess what...we're going to Bailey's Park in Door County, Wisconsin in July! Friend Fritz Stunek assures me it is a great place to visit and that we will really enjoy it. He says that you can stand on the dock and watch big salmon swimming around. Marijane is busily looking up recipes for preparing salmon for the table! Looking forward to seeing all of you at the Region Eight Rally. Drive careful!

FEBRUARY WINTER LUNCHEON -Marijane Bamberry On February 18, 1012, we had a very nice luncheon at the Chef s Kitchen in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. We had a good attendance with twenty-three people present.

Ron and LuAnn Eide, Doris Porter, Scott and Kathy Allen, and Jim and Rosalie Macumber were in attendance. It was good to see everybody again!

Dave Shaw, our caravan leader, gave us a rundown on where we would be meeting for our caravan to Springfield, Missouri, for the Region 8 Rally. It sounds like fun Dave and thanks for the hard work.

3 FEBRUARY WINTER LUNCHEON -Marijane Bamberry On February 18, 1012, we had a very nice luncheon at the Chef s Kitchen in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. We had a good attendance with twenty-three people present.

It was good to see everybody again! Our December luncheon was cancelled because of a big snow storm. There were several birthdays in February, so everybody was recognized and we sang happy birthday. Dave Shaw, our caravan leader, gave us a rundown on where we would be meeting for our caravan to Springfield, Missouri, for the Region 8 Rally. It sounds like fun Dave and thanks for the hard work. So far we have six units going on the caravan. Others are invited to come along. The caravan plans are located in this newsletter. The Region 8 church service was discussed, and I believe we are ready to go on that. Our collection money will go to the Wounded Warriors Charity. We discussed the Constitutional Amendment proposed by the Denver Colorado Unit and that was carried by 8 yes votes. Our next event will be the Region 8 Rally in Springfield, Missouri. We ll see you down the road. FROM THE KITCHEN OF MARIJANE BAMBERRY APPLE MUFFINS 1 1/2 C. vegetable oil 3 C. flour 2 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp.. salt 2 eggs 1 tsp. cinnamon 3 C. chopped apples, fresh Beat together oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Gradually add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Fold in apples. Fill greased muffin tins, or use paper cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes approximately 36 muffins. (Optional: sprinkle mixture of sugar, nuts and cinnamon on top before baking) These are better if they set for a few hours so the apple flavor can get through them... (Dan ate a whole batch one at a time) Also these do not puff up like a lot of muffins--so yummy!!!!!!
