Dogwood Rally at TGO - Summary

March 7, 2022

 

Our 3rd Florida Dogwood Rally was held February 21 thru 22, 2022 at the Great Outdoors RV & Golf Resort in Titusville FL.

 

Steve & Sue Sohles and Butch & Susie Jones co-hosted this Rally for those who wanted to bring their coaches, as well as others who came to visit and join in meals and Happy Hours too.  

 

Attending with coaches were Jim & Susan Buelow, Gary & Carol Chadwick, Mann & Carolyn Duff (former members), Bob & Joyce Peavey and Fairleigh & Cil Schoolar. 

Dogwooders also participating included Berkley & Karen Alexander, Clint & Pat Allen, Jim & Bonnie Spain, and Ed & Connie Tillman.  

 

Monday night was another enticing Dogwood potluck, attended by 26, with lots of delicious contributions. How these meals come together with so many good dishes and treats is a wonder. Many thanks to the Jones for generously opening their home for this event, and also their 2 dogs for keeping the floors clean of spills. All enjoyed the evening, catching up with friends and making new friends. Former Dogwood Carl & Donna Gruel living in TGO also joined in. 

Tuesday in the Rally Lot other visitors included Gaye & Jerry Young (Gaye is the current FMCA VP for the Eastern Region). Bob & Ann Nebel (Bob is the President of the Ambassadors FMCA Chapter at TGO). Dogwooders Pace & JoAnn Mimms came to say "Hi" and Pace got some help from Jim Buelow and Fairleigh Schoolar on his AirForce One setup. 

Tuesday night our group of 18 had dinner at Dixie Crossroads, nearby in Titusville, where we ordered off the menu. Lots of comments that the food and service were great! And of course, more visiting followed in the Rally Lot afterwards...and all helped Jim Buelow celebrate his birthday complete with a delicious cake. 

 

Our Rally officially ended Wednesday morning with doughnuts at the Rally Lot. 

 

We were fortunate to have spectacular weather while spending time together, viewing an alligator on the nearby shore of Lake Judy and adding to our many good memories with friends. Some even saw the nearby SpaceX launch of more StarLink satellites.
