Oct 17-19, 2014 Campout - Grey's Point Campground, Topping, VA

The Trip Captains for this campout were Larry and Mem Halstead, Jeff and Sharon Lawrence, Chuck and Donna Tolson and Ed and Sara Kuhne. The phone number for Grey's Point Campground www.greyspointcamp.com/welbody.html is 804-758-2485.  The Trip Captains had reserved 10 sites and you needed to call BEFORE Sep 15th to reserve a spot with the group.  The cost was $42.60 per night. This is also one of Grey's Point's Halloween weekends, so you will want to bring candy for the children who will be in costume and  doing a parade on Saturday afternoon.  Make sure when you call to let them know you are with ODC and the reservations are under Halstead.

Meeting Minutes – October 18, 2014

The meeting was called to order by President Sandy Freed after Saturday breakfast. We had a large group for October’s campout.  Rigs present were: Settles, Freed, Welford, White, Kuhne, Ross, Messerle, Tolson, Karstaedt, Lawrence, and Halstead.  The campout was held at Grey’s Point in Topping, VA.

Thanks to Hosts: Halstead, Tolson, Kuhne, and Lawrence.

Old Business

The Secretary’s report was emailed out before the campout.  Approved as sent.  Treasurer’s report had not changed since August.

Sunshine Lady Report: Sharon Bowen has motorhome advertised for sale in the Freelance Star.  A list  was passed around of items from the motorhome she would like to sell.  There are some items, she doesn’t know what they are.  If anyone is interested, they should contact Sharon.

The Parrishs sent a note of how much they enjoyed the August Campout, and are looking forward to spending more time with us.

The Christmas party will be held on Dec. 7th at the Welford residence.  Time has been set at 2:00 p.m.  Club will provide the meat and a non-alcoholic punch and paper goods.  Sandy will assign other food to club members.

We will again participate in Toys for Tots. Bring an unwrapped gift for the kids.  Remember, the older kids are also in need of items.

New Business

Election of Officers.

The two offices open for 2015 are President and Wagon Master.  The nominating committee consisted of Donna Tolson, Jim Settles, and Marv Coyner.  They submitted for election: Kay Karstaedt for President and Norah Zerhusen for Wagon Master.  The nominations were approved and Kay and Norah were elected.  Carol Welford agreed to fill Kay’s remaining term as Vice President (one year).

The State committee meeting is December 6th at Misty Mountain.  There is a new State director – Dave Clark.

Review of the Fall Samboree: good venue, good entertainment.  Seminars were available on Friday, which is too early for those arriving Friday afternoon.  Friday dinner provided by campground was good. Activities offered were not activities our group was interested in.  Some ideas for the future would be: wine tasting, fire circle with popcorn, snack contest.

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully,
Rebecca Messerle
