February in Review
Check out our new website listed above. Dianna volunteered at our planning meeting to create a web site
for us and it is now up and running. Please refer to it often and be sure to mention it to people you know
and meet. It can be a very useful tool. Save it as a favorite on your computer. You can also get to it from
the Mid-Atlantic web site and also from the International web site by clicking on “general links”. Our web
page will have the newsletters, the upcoming events and even some pictures on it. There is also an
application form that can be printed off.
I had to switch around the dates of 2 of our overnights. There were no rooms available at the hotel in
Wellsboro, PA for the dates we had picked so the Grand Canyon of PA trip is changed to August 26-28 and
the Flight 93 trip is now going to be June 3-5. The info on the hotels is on pages 2 and 3. Rooms go quick
so reserve your room as soon as you can so we can get more rooms if we need them.
We had 21 members come out on the coldest day of the year for our breakfast meeting this month. The
day before, John and Dianna, Jerry and Mary and Ken and I attended the meeting for the Mid-Atlantic Rally
and the banquet that was held in New Holland, Pa. Several nice rides are planned for the rally and this is
one rally you do not want to miss. More details and the registration form can be found on the website.
Shirley brought in and showed the quilt that has been started and donated by Dianna that we will be
finishing and will be raffling off at our picnic. We will let you know when it is finished and when you can buy
your raffle tickets.
Kenny talked about doing a food drive for the Home of the Brave which is a shelter for homeless vets.
Please bring in non-perishable food to the next 2 breakfast meetings. They are also in need of new twin
bed linens, towels, toilet paper, paper towels and DART bus passes. They also have Memory Bricks that
can be purchased “in honor of” or “in memory of” a Veteran and we have decided to purchase one “in honor
of” our Delmarva Retread Veterans. Dianna passed out forms for anyone else who would like to purchase
a brick. If you need one, contact her and she will see that you get one.
50/50 was sold and Jim Sak won the free breakfast.
