Old Business:
The Secretary’s report and the Treasurer’s report were emailed
by Rebecca. The Treasurer’s report was revised and resent to separate out the
food costs from supplies. Reports were
approved as revised.
Sunshine Lady Report – Linda Burdette had surgery, had some pain, but no update yet.
Janice Parson has sold her coach and is looking forward to
the next stage of her life. Some of our

going to sell her house in Aquia Harbor.
Samboree year bars are here – Larry H passed them out to
people this weekend, and will pass out the remaining patches as he sees the

New Business:
September Campout will be at Shenandoah Crossings in
Gordonsville, VA. A number of emails
have been sent with the information. The dates are Sept. 28 & 29. The rate is $50.00 per night. We will have election of new officers at this
meeting.
October is the Fall Samboree at Harrisonburg. The dates are
Oct 19-21st. If we don’t want
to attend the Samboree, is there any interest in another campout at a different
location.
Technical Tip of the Month: Propane Gas Detector. Do you know where yours is located. They can be tested by pushing the button on
them. They also only last for 5
years. They can be replaced fairly
easily. This is also true of Carbon
Monoxide detectors.
Also for those that
have smart phones, there are many apps
available for RVers. Examples include:
Good Sam’s Road Service, Leveling your rig, Gas buddy to find cheapest gas in
the area, and a satellite finder.
Meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully,
Rebecca Messerle
