September 2010 Campout

HEARTLAND ROOS
SEPTEMBER RALLY
LAZY DAY CAMPGROUND
SEPTEMBER 10-12, 2010

ATTENDEES: Ted & Norma Stahlhuth, Lester & Grace Mooney, Warren Cutright, Rich & Gail Baker, Ernie & Toni Ward.

What a beautiful weekend for a rally. Friday night brought us a rain storm, but it cleaned things off and by Saturday noon, all was dry. The Wards and Bakers served as hosts. Saturday, everyone went to the Hermann Country Days Festival. It was interesting to see some of the nearly ‘lost” arts, including blacksmithing, horse shoeing, tin making, gas engines, candle making, aprons, painting, live music and many other arts and crafts.
We will miss our dearest Sue and Doreen. They will be forever in our hearts. Our thoughts are always with Warren, Fred and their families.
That Warren is a real trooper. He had bladder surgery on Tuesday, and Thursday---he was at the campground. It is good to see you doing so well Warren.
Warren also offered to hold the October 2010 rally at his home in New Florence. Please let Warren know if you will attend. It will be potluck.
Ernie called a meeting Saturday morning (after Les’s GREAT biscuits & gravy—thank you Lester.) After some discussion, Grace made a motion (seconded by Lester, with all present in favor) to have rallies every other month in 2011, since the number of attendees was low this year. There will be a “host’ to schedule the camp sight and notify (email) members with the information. ALL food will be potluck at the rallies. Lester has volunteered to use his smoker for some meals. Everyone should bring their own meat and anything else they would like to provide for the potluck meals.

There will be NO DUES IN 2011. The treasury is well funded at this time.
