Old Business:
· Executive Committee
Meeting: Tom had intended to have the mandatory annual Executive Committee
Meeting at this campout but decided to postpone it.
He has not received many responses from the
membership as to what concerns/suggestions they would like to have addressed by
the Executive Committee. Those he has heard from (6 out of 18) all seemed to
address the discussion at last month’s general meeting which dealt with
membership in the Sunny Travelers organization and how other clubs are handling
“some-other-brand” guests at their functions.
Tom has asked Charlie Nelson to head a Committee
of our members to go over the comments made and come up with a proposal to
present to our membership. He asked for volunteers to assist Charlie; Jean Ann
Brooks and Jean Rutter graciously offered to lend a hand.
Tom will contact Charlie and have him set a
date and location for this group meeting.

In the discussion
today, we realized that it was probably not a good idea to have made those
plans for
New
Business:
· We discussed a
little about Dave Bump’s e-mail on maintaining the chapter website. Several of
us had some questions and, since Dave & Joy were not at this gathering, we
tabled discussion until they are with us.
· We did receive some
door prizes from Customers First this week. Among them is a lounge chair donated
by Coast distributors. Since it is such a big gift, we decided to raffle it for
the rest of the summer. Becky made a motion to use the money for our Bereavement
Fund, seconded by Judy. Tickets will be $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. You can buy
as many as you like as often as you like!!!
· Jean Ann made a
motion to ask everyone to reply when they receive the minutes so we know who is
getting them. Frank seconded. Motion approved.
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by
Judy McNulty, seconded by Gene Brooks and approved by all.
Keith Colbert led us in a closing prayer.
Door prizes were won by Brooks and McNulty.

Jottings:
Holt’s Campground was very simple and comfy.
Mr. Holt had us all in the back row overlooking the fishing pond and the
sunsets. We had lots of trees to sit under for our conversations as well as free
access to the pavilion for our meeting and rainy times. (Yes, we had a few
drops of rain.) He seemed glad to have us all there and joined us often on his
golf cart.
Bardstown is rich in historical niceties. We
spent many days there during our 17 years in and out of
It was so good to have Paul & Dawn
Urbahns join us again. They plan to be with us another time or two this year.
Paul’s schedule doesn’t allow much free time and with the grandbabies being out
west, they go there whenever possible.
Keith and Becky’s friend & former pastor
now presides at the little church across the road from the campground. So they
got to visit with them -- and several went to church services there Sunday
morning.
We received an e-mail today from Dan &
Patty Johnson, the couple who will be taking over as wagon masters for
SunnyTravelers next season. They live in
The following is the latest from Mary Brown:
Hey...
I'm glad your weekend was nice. We
took Sunday morn off, went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then to
church... We got to the house around 12:30 and daughter Terra and her husband
were there already working.. They have been such help..
Our luck is still going south.. The
aunt’s house didn't work out .. they decided it would only be available 2 weeks
at most.. and the camper deal at Ceraland didn't work either.. So, we are still
looking.. My niece has no problem with us being here, however I don't want to
put her out for months.. We can always go to
Take care.. Mary
Enjoy Spring Mill !! If you like cornbread,
try their freshly milled corn meal.
I will send everyone a new roster.
