3 Dec 2017 - ODC Holiday Party


The Old Dominion Cardinals Christmas party was held on Sunday December 3rd at 2 p.m. at Ristorante Renato located at 422 William St in Fredericksburg.  The club voted to allocate $10 per member to the cost of the meal.  Everyone was able to individually order off the dinner menu and received separate bills.   Renato's website is  http://rrenato.com/.

 

We had a separate room for our get together and it worked out great! 

 

Larry Welford collected TOYS FOR TOTS again this year.

The May campout was held  at the Holiday Travel Park, Virginia Beach. The Hosts for this Campout were Randy & Linda Burdette, Dale & Judy Ross and Larry & Nancy Omps




Emails from Linda Burdette:
 
 I spoke with Holiday TravL Park about our May campout. Here is the list of reservations they have. There are still 4 empty slots. If they don’t have reservations for these spots by Feb 15, they are going to release them. They expect this weekend to be busy and they have other customers asking for spots, so we can’t be unreasonable about letting them fill spots if we aren’t going to use them.  So far we have 11 families attending – The Vatunas are guests of the Omps, who will be hosting that weekend along with the Burdettes and the Rosses.  If you ride bicycles, be sure to plan to bring them as the boardwalk is a nice bike ride away.  Looking forward to warm weather and the first campout of the season!  Linda Burdette

 

All, just a reminder that if reservations are not made by tomorrow, the campground is going to release the sites for other campers.  Right now, for the 15 sites assigned to ODC, there is only one not reserved.  Attached is the list. I think Sharon Bowen was making her reservation today, so I’ve plugged her in. Please let me know if you plan to go and make your reservations, or if you’ve made reservations and I don’t have you on the list.  Thanks, Linda Burdette

27-29 Apr 2017 - VA State Rally



The VA State Rally was held on April 27, 28, 29 at Meadows Event Park. Just a reminder that parking is hobo which means if you want to park with someone you need to have a meeting point and go in together. I only know of a couple of people that are going and they are Burdette's and Winder's if you are planning to attend please contact one of these to have a rally point or not.
