    Since the last publication, the CA Golden Aires rally was conducted from  11/14 to 11/18.  Results of that rally are described  below in the CA Aires Chapter write-up.    See the calender of events at the back of this issue for contact information for all our CA rallys for 2012. 

In 2012, we are going to combine the rallys of the CA 49ers and the CA Bears (Oct 1 - 5 ).  In addition, the CA State Rally will be held  Sept 24 – 28,  immediately before  the combined rally.  This approach is intended to minimize costs to the members.  We have a long state and for people who may want to attend all our rallys, the costs for fuel can mount up. The State Rally will be held in Buellton, CA at the Flying Flags RV Resort and the 49ers/Bears rally will be held in Pismo Beach at the Pismo Creek RV Resort.  Details about both rallys will be included in future issues. 

On Dec 7, 2011, CA  had a special event.  It was a luncheon hosted by Penny and Max Nuttall in their home in Hercules CA.  Penny did all the planning, organizing, contacting everyone by phone, cooking, etc.  Sue and I could not attend due to other problems.  Penny thought that since it was going to be a long time before a rally was held in the northern area, that we should at least have a luncheon in the area sometime in 2011.  Twenty eight  people from the Golden Bears and the Forty Niners chapters attended and had a great time. See photos below.   Penny and Max said it was nice to spend more time with our Newmar family.  Philip and Carman Caspersen have offered to host the next one in February or March.  We are hoping other members will offer to host one at any venue they choose.  It can be at their home, a park or at a restaurant.
