Salle,
Cathy and I were previously signed up for the meet and greet (I think)?? And we will do name tags (even on the spot if need be)...the powers of modern computing!!

I'll do the gift exchange. I'd suggest that no demarcation be made as to the gender targeted by the gift. There may not be enough of the same gender receiving as giving--ie., more women participating than men, etc.

Gift cards were okay at the last rally, but the wine was fought over! So were "stinky" candles, and outrageously colored picnic ware. Let's use our imagination and have some fun with this! What would you like to get (or get rid of!)?

Price limit on gifts-$10.00. Of course, if you got it as a gift and don't know how much it really cost--so what? Here's your chance to get rid of that gift you never even took out of the box! Wrap it up nicely and bring it to our rig sometime before that night. We'll give you a number once sign ups are complete.

Ms McGyver · 06-25-2008, 01:42 PM

I;ve got the mustard, ketchup and pickles for the hamburgers/dogs if we decide to go that way---got it at the last gift exchange!

vabluebird · 06-25-2008, 01:44 PM

Lisa, Thank you so much for taking the Gift Exchange. Set it up the way you want. And yes, having a gift that a man or woman can use is a wise choice.

Ms McGyver · 06-30-2008, 01:04 PM

Okay, I'll also run the food sign up lists on the forum, but I can't afford to run myself ragged like I did at Gettysburg. I'll need help with the grunt work--Set up and break down of each meal. I know everyone out there will do what's needed and not leave everything to just lil o'l me!

Jay Bird · 06-30-2008, 02:39 PM

I am new to Rallies but will help out where ever needed

George

Ms McGyver · 07-01-2008, 03:41 AM

Thanks George.

Bill will probably need assistance with the campfire every night, and there's always the set up and breakdown of tables in the Rec Center. We're also looking for some larger coffee pots for our breakfasts--like 20 cup size--Do you (or anyone) know someone who has one we could borrow?

Jay Bird · 07-08-2008, 01:58 PM

We will bring the large coffee pot (20 cups).

Peg Jack · 07-14-2008, 05:27 AM

Hi new MOC family, this is Peg & Jack from Pittsburgh. Just read about the Va Rally and will talk to hubby about going. Our 3400RL is on order at the moment & due to arrive end of July so we should be in good shape for the Sept Rally. I'm sooo excited that I'm about to _ _ _ my britches. We are newly retired and plan on taking our first major trip to sunny Florida in January. Not easy setting up those trips at different campsites is it? Anyway I will be trying to figure out how to sign up for rally and reading about what to expect at our first one. We also will be happy to help out where we can. At some point I was reading the PDI - Pre Delivery checklist and now I can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Looking forward to meeting everyone. Hugs, Peggy

For your PDI, look at:
http://www.montanaowners.com/RVRelatedLinks.html and you will see the link for PDI's
For your interest in the Mid-Atlantic-Va rally, if and when you decide, just post on the attendees thread that you are interested and Salle (Vabluebird) will add you to the list. You will have to contact the campground ( www.Walnuthillscampground.com ) for your site reservations. We hope you can make it!!

Peg Jack · 07-14-2008, 06:39 AM

Thank you Bingo, for the info. We will do our best to attend.
Hugs, Peggy

vabluebird · 07-15-2008, 04:03 AM

Peggy and Jack,
So glad to see you are intereted. Hope you can work it out. Read the Threads, (these are the individual topics under the main title, Mid Atlantic-Virginia Reagion.

Just ask and well tell you anything you want to know.

Salle (Wagonmaster)

Ms McGyver · 07-22-2008, 11:06 AM

Peggy,

There are a few sites out there that help--Woodalls has a site and so does Trailer Life. They both offer campsite locators. Of course, if you are prior military there is a site for Fam Camps as well.

Ms McGyver · 07-29-2008, 05:26 AM

George, sorry I took so long to recognize your contribution of the coffee pot! Thanks bunches! That makes breakfasts much more eye opening.

We will need someone to make up decaf as I have only a 4 cup coffee maker in the rig. I have a thermal pot to put it in if needed.

Peg Jack · 08-24-2008, 09:10 AM

Salle & Lisa, we just discovered to our delight that our daughter & son-in-law who live in Warrenton VA will be joining us Saturday night and staying until Monday morning. I'll make sure to have extra food and hope that doesn't cause any problems because I'm letting you know at this late date.
Hugs, Peggy & Jack Mills

bncinwv · 08-25-2008, 02:57 AM

Peggy and Jack,
If they would like name tags, e-mail or PM me their names and I will make some up...and the additional guests will be no problem, the more the merrier!!
Bingo

vabluebird · 08-25-2008, 07:49 AM

Peg, That will be great. The more the merrier.
Salle

Bill and Lisa · 09-02-2008, 08:30 AM

Salle,
We do have use of the meeting room/club kitchen room up where we are camping don't we? Right now the path for Hanna passes just east of the campground. That is good news! Why is it good news you ask? Because 3-4 days out you can just about bet the farm that the hurricane will not follow the path they are predicting. Still, it could be a little wet at times and want to know what our options are.....

vabluebird · 09-03-2008, 01:29 PM

Lisa, We will have the club house and can throw a stone and hit it from our sites. 5 of us are here wed night. Looking forward to seeing you.Just got online.
