Virginia Wheels Rally:
Three NC coaches attended the Virginia Wheels rally in Galax, VA and had a great time. Douglass Ledgett and Donna Finley, Philip Melvin and Shirley Melvin, and Denny and Sheryn Ward made the trip and were thoroughly entertained with great stories, good food and, yes, just a little rain.
Region 5 Rally: ? Cancelled
Due to severe damage from Hurricane Irene, the Region 5 rally which was to be held at the Cape Hatteras RV Resort in Waves, NC from October 9th – 13th has been cancelled. For those of you that have already made your reservations, Bob & Bonnie will be refunding your rally fees. Additionally, be sure to contact the RV Resort to cancel your reservation and request your refund. The Region 5 directors are hoping to reschedule the rally but we will need to wait for further information in the future.

An invitation to join the Virginia Wheels Chapter in celebrating their 20th anniversary has been sent out. This rally is October 17th – 20th in Luray, Virginia. If you are interested in attending, please contact one of the Virginia Wheels officers or the rally hosts listed on the forms mailed out in a previous email. As always, you can find more information listed in the Konnection magazine or on the NKK calendar website.
Georgia Peach State Krackers Rally:

NC Tarheel / SC Palmetto Pals Joint Rally:
The announcement and registration sheet for the joint NC Tarheel and SC Palmetto Pals December “Christmas at the Beach Rally” has been sent out. Anyone not receiving an announcement but wanting to attend should contact Dennis Ward at (704-484-2935) (SherynWard@gmail.com). This rally will be a joint effort between the Palmetto Pals and the Tarheel Chapter and will be the last get together for each of the chapters for the calendar year 2011. As such, the NC Tarheel Chapter will be holding their last chapter meeting of the calendar year. An election of officers will be held, so it’s important that as many members as possible attend to choose their leadership team for 2012. Additionally, please give some thought to volunteering for one of these positions. There is minimal effort involved and it’s time to see some new leadership faces. If you would like to volunteer for an officer position, but can’t make the rally, please contact one of the officers listed below and let them know what position you are interested in. The Weeks’ and the Wards have a great rally planned and are looking forward to a large attendance this year. The location will be the same as last year, at Ocean Lakes Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. The dates are Dec. 8th- 11th. Your hosts are Roger & Peggy Weeks and Dennis & Sheryn Ward.

Senior Discount Website . . .
While browsing through the AARP Bulletin, I found reference to a website that locates businesses offering discounts to seniors. You can search by city & state or by zip code. Then enter the type of business you’re looking for and a list of local businesses offering discounts to seniors will be returned. This website is: www.sciddy.com Give it a try, you might want to save money when you take your best friend out for the evening !
Curiosity Item:
As a curiosity item, we would like to know how widespread our membership is this summer. If you are currently away from home on a summer trip, are planning on taking a summer trip or are just spending the warm summer months at a different location, please drop me a line and let me know where you traveled to. If you know how many miles you traveled to get there, please let me know that as well. (SherynWard@gmail.com) I’ll tally up the locations and the mileage and report back to everyone when the summer winds down.
Have a great summer !
