John Pietri (23329)
Florida Sea Turtles – President
Winter in Florida seems to have been trying to compete with the Midwest this year. The temperatures have been on the cool side, and it seems that it is cloudy and gloomy more than normal. We are definitely not going to maintain our 300+ days of sunshine this year.
The Sea Turtles officers have been elected for the next year. Our new President is John Pietri, Vice president is Roy Craft, Secretary is Dawn Karwath, Treasurer is Debbie Smith, and Membership Chair is Anne Kuhns.
We have just completed our February rally at Dreamin and Driftin RV Resort outside Lake City, Florida. This rally was hosted by Bill & Eileen Berg with the help of two new co-hosts, Raja & Phyllis Rogers and Ray & Sandy Evans. The rally was held in this location to take advantage of the yearly civil war reenactment in Olustee, Florida. It rained most of the day of the reenactment, but it did go on as scheduled with many of our members braving the rain and cold weather.
Bill & Eileen Berg have also been hosting our monthly Newmar Owner’s Luncheon each month during the winter months. After their last luncheon in March, Dawn & Dan Karwath volunteered to host next year’s luncheons starting on the 2nd Wednesday of December 2024 and continuing through March 2025.
At this time, we have a November 2024 rally scheduled at Travelers Rest RV and Golf Resort in Dade City, Florida. It will start on Thursday, October 31st with everyone scheduled to head home on Sunday, November 3rd. This is now listed on the NKK website calendar so be sure to sign up.
