Spring is our favorite time of the year, and we spent most of spring in Texas. Graduation season was busy for us this year with three grandchildren graduating from college. None of them choose to walk in the ceremonies but we plan to celebrate another way.

Our first rally is in June, and it will be great to spend time with our Newmar family again. So far we have a chapter Rally, State Rally, Regional Rally and International Rally on our schedule. Just like life before COVID. We will be going to Illinois, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and out west. 

Be sure to check your schedule and attend a rally in your area, or along your summer travels. Many rallies have deadlines coming up, so check the website, newmarkountryklub.com.

We will be spending most of our time at the Arts and Crafts Contest at the International Rally. We are Team Leaders and our Region Four has this as a responsibility. Stop by and see our talented members work. 

We hope to see you at the International Rally or on the road. Take care, stay safe, and hopefully our new normal is just around the corner.
