August 2009   The Alberta Wild Rose Rally was held at Bashaw May 29th – June 1, 2008 with 26 rigs attending from Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC and California.  We had a great time and made new good friends.  It was at this Rally we were elected as your Presidents and we are learning the job with the very able help of the past presidents, Lorne and Marlene Pearson.  We want to thank you both for your very able encouragement help and support right through today.  Also we appreciate Vice Presidents Emil and Dorothy Zayac and Secretary Treasurers John and Colleen Aplin. They organized and attended the Newmar pre - Christmas luncheon held in Lacombe, while we were gone. We are a good team. With Lorne and Marlene’s help we found and booked the Rally site in Castor.  We were unable to attend the Prairie Dog Rally in Rocky Mountain House due to out of country visitors.  We live in our motorhome full time so went to Oliver BC for 3 weeks before heading to Yuma for the winter.    While in Yuma we visited with Lorne and Marlene Pearson who live in the same park and we met with the Pearson’s and Lyle and Marg Dowling for a working lunch. We were delighted to spend time with John and Colleen Aplin during their stay in Yuma and we attended a fun afternoon party at Rose and Everet Larson’s with many Alberta and BC Newmar members. We have posted one letter on the website. We pointed the motorhome for Canada on April 1, 2009.  April 8th we crossed the border into BC and spent the remainder of April in BC.  May 1 we were back to Red Deer, family and friends.  After the Castor Rally we will spend time in Wainwright area and then attend the Saskatchewan Rally in Riverhurst.  Our plan is to move around more this summer and eventually take the Motorhome to Nappanee, Indiana to have our floor changed before heading back to Yuma. Thank you all for your support this past year and we’ll see you down the road.  Lee and Marlene Pixley AWRK Presidents

We had 26 rigs attending with a total of 54 people. Vellners brought out a couple of new units for people to look at.  We were aslo pleased to have Doug Drover, our Western Canada representative for Newmar, visit us on the Saturday. We held our Annual meeting on June 1 with the following officers being elected for the new term.  Presidents: Lee & Marlene Pixley, Vice Presidents: Emil & Dorothy Zayac, and Secretary - Treasures: Jon & Colleen Aplin.  We're pleased to have a new executive elected. We also attended  the Saskatchewan Provincial/Saskatchewan Prairie Lily Rally at Riverhurst, Saskatchewan and as usual enjoyed their great hospitality. We are planning on going on the Maritimes Event if at all possible.  Then it will be home for a while. To everyone having a birthday or anniversary our best wishes and anyone suffering from illness our wishes for a speedy recovery. As you travel down the road of life there are new experiences around the next corner. Lorne and Marlene Pearson (10028-L) Presidents
