October 2008

Hi All,

We had a nice weekend but we sure could have used more people. We had 3 mobile units and 1 permanent sitter. The members were: Gene and Lois Barnes; Tom and Mandy Nieto and Little Nate; Tom and Ginny McCurdy and Little Oscar (Cute Puppy); Lee and Nan Neil and Gizmo, Suki, Tia, and Mia; and last but not lease Bob and Janice Sanford (drove up for the day). We had G & M crab cakes, cole slaw, macaroni salad, Ramen noodle salad, potato salad, and too many desserts. The weather was perfect. Take care and keep smiling. Lee

Maryland StarCrabbers Camping Club

I want to thank Lee for the info on the September campout at Morris Meadows. It sounds like everything went smoothly. Crab cakes make a great accompaniment to all the great desserts- Ha Ha. We are glad Bob Sanford is on the mend. We are glad he could join everyone for the dinner. I'm sure his quick recuperation is due to his great nursing care. Good going Janice. We have missed camping greatly especially our fellow campers. Miss you all. Everything is going smoothly but will continue my treatments daily until the end of October. Will not be able to go camping but hope to see you at the winter meeting. I again want to thank you all for the cards I have received and continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
For some general information the Starcraft International Rally will be July 13-17 in DuQuoin IL. As of the last of September 15 units have registered. The 2010 Int. Rally will be in Goshen, IN. Due to other booking at this site, We will have to have our rally the last week of June or the first week of August. More have responded favorably for the June date because of school. Let Lee know if this makes a difference to you.
For your information there has not been any new Starcraft purchases for Maryland for September. If you meet anyone who is interested in camping tell him or her about our club. We need some new members.
Don't forget about your October campout. Dave Cheuvront and John Mathias will be the wagon masters. This is always a great campout. I hope the weather is great for that weekend. Please let me know if the leaves are at their peak. Also don't forget if there is going to be special foods to bring contact Lee for the particulars.

Please keep these special people in mind for November.
