Spacecoast Winnies

March 2003 Outing

By  Lynn Fitts
The Space Coast Winnies held their March campout at the Florida State Rally in Orlando.   Sixteen member coaches were in attendance.

The Space Coast Winnies were in charge of the Registration so several coaches arrived early to stuff goodie bags and prepare to register the 350+ attendees.  All of our members took turns at the registration desk and noting coach locations for everyone arriving.

All of the members attending the Rally enjoyed the planned activities during the weekend as well as looking through the many Winnebago RVs on display from the dealers supporting this function.  The Vendor area was full of a myriad of businesses who were solicited by  members Jimmy & Lynn Fitts, who were in charge of Vendors.  There was a wide array of products and services available for rally-goers to select from.  Another major component of the Rally was the seminars offered.  This segment was conducted by Space Coast members Dick & Nancy Russell.  As always, the seminars were well attended and covered a wide range of topics.

The Space Coast Winnies also conducted the popular Book Exchange on Monday.  Jo-Anne Buckley ably coordinated this assisted by the other ladies in our Chapter.  Proceeds from the sale, $15, was donated to the Prader-Willi Foundation charity supported by the Winnie-Gators.

When the work was done each day, we gathered together for "happy hour" to discuss the day’s events.  Everyone attending was very pleased to have been there and especially those who won prizes. 

Winning door prizes were: Ralph & Nettie Bibbo and Bob & Edythe Tomoser $10 each; and Dick & Nancy Russell and Les & Del Sables $5 each.  We would be remiss in not mentioning Jean & Max Kruichak who sold chances for the Monday Money Hat raffle.  Their sales added several hundred more dollars to the Prader-Willi Foundation charity.

Monday noon found almost everyone gone from the Fairgrounds.  But all left with a "See you next month at the Oaks Campground in Bushnell".
