I guess we had too much holiday. Tallahassee was a laid back Rally with the following members present: Brien and Brenda Vincent, Bob Shumaker, James and Sandra Walters, Terry and Barbara Taylor, Eric and Lynda Schraut, Bud and Judy Wilhour, and Laverne Toivonen and Sam Lewis. While we were a small group, we did have a good time. Mardi Gras was the theme for this rally and beads, masks, etc. were the costume of the day. Our flea market went well with members doing their Spring cleaning a little early with the chapter yielding the benefits. We accomplished our first Fuzzy Pucker initiation. What fun we had! We did have a lot of help from Florida Staff and hopefully we will be pros next time. I sent out a copy of the group picture that was taken at the December party; it is an 8 X 10 photo and I am asking you to make a copy for yourself, if you wish. If you don t have a jpeg file of this picture, let me know and I will resend it to you. March birthday wishes go to Erick Schraut, Joe Johnson, and Joyce Enos. Anniversary wishes go to Terry and Barbara Taylor. In March, our chapter will be attending the rally in Perry, Georgia on March 22-25, 2018. The theme for this rally is, Around the World Tour. We will be decorating our table with items appropriate to the theme. Please check the new member roster for any additions or corrections.

Wagon Master s Log for March December, 2018 JAMES WALTERS Good Sam defines Caravan as three or more rigs traveling together to a Rally. Each state has its own patch for caravan, and additional caravans to that state earn a satellite patch to accompany the initial patch. Caravans to local camp outs do not qualify for a patch but they make travel more fun and safer in the fact that you are not traveling alone in case of trouble. The longer the distance traveled, the more the need to caravan for safety. March 21(EB)*-25, 2018, Georgia Spring Rally, Perry, GA.
