Big Bend Winnie-Tascas of Florida
March 2003 Newsletter


Our meeting was held March 13-18 in Orlando with the Florida State Winnie-Gators Rally. Members present were Louise Bowen, Sue and George Daws, Margie Roberts and Clarice Tyler. Larry and LaVerta Bishop were not able to attend the state rally but represented our club by helping at the grand opening of Pepco RV Center who are now selling Itasca RVs.

Wednesday and Thursday we joined the Sunshine Winnies for eating and fellowship. Everyone in their club was extra nice and we look forward to working with them next year. We did enjoy our club duty to park the handicapped. Sue entered her crafts of crocheting and an afghan, which won first and third prizes. Louise won $50 from a "hat prize". Clarice made a cake for the cakewalk but no one in our group won a cake participating. Some especially nice people from Pennsylvania joined us for dinner two nights at our designated Big Bend Winnie-Tascas table. We hope they will join us again next year. The entertainment and food were very good for our Touch of Italy theme.

Those attending approved the following schedule changes.  July 17-20 meeting will be held in the Pensacola/Milton, FL area with the location to be announced later. The December meeting at Sugarmill Campground has been changed to Tuesday, Dec. 16 thru Thursday, Dec. 18.

Our April 11-13 meeting will be at Sun Coast RV Park Campground in Lake Park, GA. Some will arrive on Thurs. We will feast at local restaurants and shop at the outlet stores plus our usual games and good times.

Be sure to ask the Daws about their new entry window addition. Clarice purchased a new RV while in Orlando from our sponsors Harberson-Swanston, Holiday, FL
