My hubby has a theory, “It’s not worth getting out of bed if you don’t learn something new every day.” While I’m not sure if I agree with him, I thought I’d pass along some ideas for filling your time while waiting for the next rally to start. Just a note: We are getting close to the end of the year so check the Klub Calendar so you don’t miss any that might be coming up!
I do have to admit that we have a little help with this task of learning. Three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) we, along with a group of retired military and generally the old guys in the neighborhood, meet to gossip, solve the problems of the world and most importantly, DRINK COFFEE! You would be surprised how much there is to learn about history, how to fix a carburetor, how things worked better “in the old days” and what good movies are on TV. If your mornings are a little boring, give this option a try.
Another option would be to grab a colored pencil or a highlighter and your latest copy of the Legacy magazine. Flip to the Klub Calendar section and scan the list. Be sure to mark, with a big colored star, which events look interesting and that you might like to attend this fall or next year. That way you won’t forget to register when the time comes.
Another quick option might be to write a paragraph, or two, about your family and how you got interested in camping. Be sure to include the first location you went to. Make a list of all the campers you’ve owned and be sure to include the tents. Now, send this off to one of your chapter officers and ask them to include it in your next chapter newsletter. Believe me, they will appreciate your input.
One final option would be to host or co-host a rally for next year. It’s a simple task and if you volunteer, I’m sure that someone else will feel a little braver and will agree to help you out. Rallies are FUN! Play games, sightsee, explore the local sites and stores, and sit around a campfire in the evening. DON’T FORGET THE FOOD!
Now I’ve given you a few things to think about, so if you think of any other tidbits that I missed, be sure to let me know.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to WELCOME a group of new chapters that were recently created. Welcome to the NEWMAR family to the Alabama Dixie Aires located in Alabama and Mississippi. Welcome to the Aloha Aires from Hawaii. Finally, welcome to a new chapter created during the International Rally with a home in Utah, the Utah Pathfinders. Their first rally will be held October 14-17 in Hurricane, Utah. CONGRATULATIONS to everyone.
