President's Message

by Butch Jones

Our Rally Season got off to a great start the first weekend of May. The week started off with a tremendous amount of rain and I have to admit I was doubtful that it would happen. However, after consultation with some of the board members and Bill and Marion it was determined that the ground was dry enough and the rally would be held as planned.

When we arrived at the Cockrell’s home we found the parking to be dry and parking was not an issue. We had 7 coaches and it was good to see Pat and Clint Allen, who stopped by for the afternoon and dinner on Saturday. We also had two guests that stopped by for dinner and one even went to Tangier. We hope that they decide to come back for a full rally.

The view from our site was a wonderful view of the Wicomico River. The weather was perfect and so was the trip to Tangier Island. Saturday night we found out that most Dogwooders should keep their day jobs and not venture into the word of song. Our dinner location hosted a karaoke night and we did not find any new untapped talent in our group.

Our next rally is in June and will be at Solomon’s Island, Maryland and will be June 6-8, 2014. We look forward to seeing more of you there. Then we have a dry spell because the next rally is in September at Fort Monroe.

If anyone has an idea for a summer rally, be sure to contact our VP of Rallies, Dennis Reid. 

We are in need of three or more members to run for the Nominating Committee. We need three members for the committee. These vital positions must be elected by the membership every other year. We will be voting on these positions at the next meeting on Solomon’s Island. If you would be willing to serve on this committee, please contact me either by phone or e-mail.


Well, that all for this month see you on Solomon’s Island.
