2019 Annual North American Fall Rally wrap-up
Thank you to all the attendees of the 2019 – 16th Annual North American Fall Rally for your help and support of a very successful event. We want to share the following information with everyone.
We saw many changes in 2019 some of which include:
Making the transition from the tents to the buildings.
Officially offering early arrival options and two packet pick-up days.
Greatly improving the site escort process and the clearly defined sites.
Expanding the vendor presence which included getting some Montana models on site.
More ladies craft sessions in a separate area.
Golf carts availability.
Holding the largest MOC North American Fall Rally ever.
Due to the larger number of attendees and outstanding raffle, 50/50 and silent auction results we were able to purchase two coffee makers and two LED projectors for use at future rallies and hold back some start-up money for the next Rally.
Even after these expenditures we will be able to make contributions to several charities:
$200.00 each to the American Legion and VFW in Goshen.
$1,000.00 to Church Community Services-Goshen-Elkhart. This is in addition to the 1020 pounds of food and personal care items - $185 cash (includes pretzel sales) & $10 gift card from the charity drive.
$1,500.00 to each of the following charities:
Gary Sinise Foundation, Honoring America's Veterans, First Responders & Their Families. Top-Rated Veteran Charity Providing Support to Families in Need. (For our military veterans)
National Council on Aging, a respected national leader and trusted partner to help people aged 60+ meet the challenges of aging. They partner with nonprofit organizations, government, and business to provide innovative community programs and services, online help, and advocacy. (For all of us seniors)
Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian aid organization that provides aid to people in physical need as a key part of its Christian missionary work. The organization's president is Franklin Graham, son of Christian evangelist Billy Graham. To be designated for U.S. Disaster Relief. (Covid-19 and other disasters).
As we close the books on 2019 and struggle with the Corona Virus pandemic, we look forward to the 2021 - 17th Annual North American Fall Rally, September 8th - 15th. We know Wagon Masters Richard & Marilyn Dube are already thinking about how they will make this Rally even better!
Thanks again for everyone’s support, we look forward to seeing you in 2021.
2019 Wagon Master Team
