The rally schedule is still being formalized, but expect a busy Memorial Day weekend is being planned for our annual Spring Rally at the Lake Park Campground in Rapid City, May 21-25. Friday morning will start off with our annual business meeting followed by an early lunch. After lunch we will have a tour of a recycling facility and an evening of catching up with friends after a long winter. Saturday morning, Bob Collier will be Master Tour Leader, leading us on an all-day Mystery Drive/Tour/Eating-Out day which will include a tour of the mine where he works. Expect a slight change over past rallies, with breakfasts on your own.

One other item to mention – keep your thoughts with President Murt as she makes her way through cataract surgeries last week and this coming week. Please e-mail or call her to see what you can do to lighten her load these next few weeks.

It seems we’ve been in New Orleans for weeks, but it’s only been one week. Mardi Gras ended at midnight last night, but I was down long before that. Most rallies are good, but this rally has been exceptional. Busy, busy, busy. Among other activities, we saw 10 parades, the last three Tuesday–Zulu and Rex. We had reserved grandstand seats across the street from the MC–the mayor himself, Nagin.What seemed normal yesterday–silly costumes, masks, crazy hats, beads–now would be considered wierd. We have bags and bags of throws, most of them beads. We’re headed north to a casino campground, then back south to a state park where some sort of party will be going on March 6-7. Then it’s on to the Cajun caravan, which everyone says is great.Today we stayed here at the campsite at the University of New Orleans but need to be out tomorrow for a Robin Williams event. We drove over to the Lower 9th Ward and St. Bernard Parish to see the flood damage. St. Bernard Parish has lots of nice homes, many still abondoned. We also visited the site of Jackson’s victory over the British in the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was actually Jan. 8, 1815, and for 40 years was celebrated as much as the Fourth of July. –Bruce–

Region 7 President Don Rogers announced today that the 2009 Region 7 Rally will be held in Winnipeg August 4 - 9th, in conjunction with the city’s Folklorama Folk Arts Festival. We had a great time there in 2004 and this one will be even better. We will be staying at the Travelers’ RV Resort on the city’s southeast corner, with full hookups. It is also expected that there will be two evenings with motorcoach service to the various pavilions, as well as daytime activities to keep us busy. Start saving your morning coffee money now, because this rally is worth every penny! As was the case last time, a number of people chose to stay on for the second week of the festival, and this will also be available. More details will be forthcoming in the winter months.
