Now that the cooler weather has arrived, our Chapter has winterized our RV’s and taken to holding our camp outs at someone’s warm and cozy home. For the month of November, Karen and Roger volunteered to act as the trail bosses and we all congregated at their home on November 16th, 2018.
True to form, Karen and Roger pulled out all the stops and served an outstanding brunch. Anyone leaving the brunch hungry was either incapacitated or never showed up. They served an oven baked french toast and sausage as the main course and a lemon fruit parfait for dessert.
After eating, we held our monthly chapter meeting. During the meeting, we discussed whether the State organization should buy a first aid kit or not. After much discussion our chapter decided not to support the idea of buying a first aid kit. (The general feeling was that properly maintaining a state first aid kit would be a hassle and lots of individual rigs carried their own first aid kits. Therefore, having a state first aid kit was not necessary). Randy then gave a brief overview of the decertification effort by the Dust Devils in Pahrump. He indicated that after much confusion the decertification failed. The chapter then voted for two new officers for 2019. Kelvin was selected as the new Treasurer and Marty was selected as the new Vice President.
Before the meeting ended, two final items were attended to. Paul and Jack volunteered to conduct an audit of the chapters accounting books before the end of the year and the chapter president talked about going to the Oregon Samboree vs going to the Idaho Samboree. The Idaho Samboree is in the upper part of the Idaho Panhandle vs the Oregon Samboree in Roseburg, Oregon which is much closer.
After the meeting Randy and Shirley reminded everyone about the December Christmas party at their house on December 13th, 2018.
As everyone left Karen and Roger’s house, I am sure everyone was thinking about Sugar Plum Fairies, 10 Lords a Leaping and of course what Santa Claus would bring them for Christmas.
