Big Bend Winnie-Tascas

August 2005 Newsletter

By Sue Daws and Margie Roberts

 
Big Bend Winnie-Tascas campers met for their August meeting in Franklin, NC.  Their stay began on Monday, August 22 at the Cullasaja RV Park.  Plans were to stay until the following Monday, however, Hurricane Katrina changed some of those plans. 
 
During the stay the group first greeted Margie and Carlos, who had been on a LONG vacation.  We were sure glad to see them and had certainly missed them. We enjoyed the scenery of the Franklin area, many good meals, cooked at the campground or at different restaurants.  George's sons Steve and Keith, and Nena and Cheryl joined us for our annual trip to the Dillard House, where we all ate toooooo much, but sure enjoyed the good food. As always the ladies shopped a couple hours downtown.  It was an enjoyable camping trip to all.
 
Tom reported that Karen and Roger Inman from Tallahassee are interested in joining and the Robert Reese's from Sylvester are also interested.  Our THANKS go out to Tom for really staying on top of prospective members.
 
President Margie asked the group if anyone was interested in attending the Florida WIT Rally in Orlando.  The McCalls expressed an interest in attending. She also brought up the Great North American Rally to be held in Daytona Beach Wednesday-Sunday, April 5-10, 2006.  Interest was expressed by the members and the president will get additional information. Club members voted to plan to attend the Georgia State WIT Rally in Perry, Ga on Tuesday, April 18th until Sunday, April 23rd. It was the decision of the club to cancel plans to meet at Twin Oaks in October and plan to meet at Oaks 'n Pines in Lake City, FL.  Evelyn and Bill will be the hosts of that meeting.
 
George and Sue will be the host of the September meeting in Sopchoppy.  The group plans to arrive on Saturday, September 10th and depart on Wednesday the 14th.  They plan to attend church with George and Sue at the Ochlockonee Bay UMC on Sunday. 
 
Carlos volunteered to grill hamburgers on Saturday. We will eat out for lunch on Sunday. Monday we hope to go to Carrabelle and see the WWII Museum and maybe on to some of the other towns.  Tuesday we will have lunch or an early dinner at the Seineyard in Woodville and just loaf, rest, relax, play games, catch up on the news, etc. 
 
On Wednesday, departure day, George and Sue will have breakfast for the group at their home, prior to the groups departure. Please note, all items subject to change based on the desires of the group and the hurricanes . . .
