Veterans Day Message

 

 

                                       

Friends,

 

May you all have a Blessed Veterans Day. There are many planned Veterans Day activities in our area as I am sure there are yours. A favorite activity is to eat out. Many restaurants and other businesses are offering discounts, free meals, etc. There are so many I suggest you "Google" Discounts on Veterans Day 2015. One of the best deals I find is at my favorite steak house:Texas Roadhouse (hope you have one in your area), with a free full meal for veterans. 

 

Planning for the coming year? How about a cruise after the INTO Area Rally. See Below. Let's have a Chapter Rally at the INTO Area Rally at Tallahassee April 15-18, 2016. Let me know if you can attend. Yes I know, I mentioned other rallies in the last newsletter and will mention them and more in future newsletters.

Looks like fun!!

For you MVC members who jumped out of perfectly good airplanes....Here is a photo of one of our members checking it off his "bucket list" of things to do. Read more about it in the January issue of FMC magazine. RVing is all about having fun!

Be yourself.

Greetings,

 

     A lot has occurred since the last MVC e-news. The MVC had a combined (with the Elks and Full Time Chapters) Pre-rally at Lake Delton (the Dells), Wisconsin on July 18-21st. An enjoyable time was had by all. We had a "welcome" meal of Wisconsin brats; visited the Carr Valley Cheese Company (where they had plenty of samples and many purchases were made); had a "pot luck" meal and afterwards had a "white elephant" auction; had a 'humdinger'  of a breakfast at Paul Bunyan's, then the Lumberjack show; rode the "ducks;' and wrapped up with a roast beef dinner when the "sheriff" announced fines (of 25 cents) for infractions he noted by members during the rally. Combining the proceeds from the "none essentials" auction and the fines collected by the "sheriff," a check for $260 has been sent to the American Heart Association.

     The annual audit of the MVC Treasurer's records was done during the Pre-rally by members Steve Czartsy and Jack Hauswirth. The records were found to be in order. 

     The MVC held their annual business meeting in Madison, Wisconsin at the Alliant Energy Center on Thursday, July 30, 2015 during the Family Motor Coach Re-union. An election of officers for the new two year term from summer 2015 to the summer meeting in 2017. Elected were President: John Lee, Vice President: Gary Wilson, Secretary: Carol Lee, Treasurer: Jack Hauswirth, National Director: Bob Cerney and Alternate National Director: Rich Strait.

     It was suggested, discussed and approved by member vote to give a contribution of $1000 to the Fisher House. See http://www.fisherhouse.org; for information for their help to veteran's families.  

     A "Social" at the Alliant Cent was not feasible as with so many locations which are requiring all food service come through them. The local Elks Lodge invited us to be their guests at their Friday Buffet. Those of us who went were treated with a delicious and plentiful meal at a reasonable price. They also gave all a free drink with the Chapter providing a second free drink. Those who didn't attend missed a great meal and camaraderie.

     Future Rallies were discussed. Bob Cerney volunteered to work on a Pre-rally prior to the FMCA Reunion in Perry, GA in March of 2016. More information will be forthcoming. It behooves the MVC to have a Chapter Rally within the INTO Area Rally April 15-18, 2016 in Tallahassee, FL. A Wagon Master is needed! Contact me for more information and assistance.

 

Enuf for now!

 

John

Just A Common Soldier

A fine fine tribute to a soldier I have ever seen: http://justacommonsoldier.com/

 

 

And still I wonder why:

The worst of men must fight, and

The best of men must die!

The MVC is not necessarily endorsing this grocery chain, but... This is their one minute commercial.  Not a word spoken ​   and none is needed.
