The newest Tarheel Traveler arrived today, hot off the presses.  You can read it online by selecting Tarheel Traveler from the page menu at right of this screen.  Great articles and announcements.  And did you know you can read any back issues of the newsletter of Carolinas Unit of NC since Sep 2007?  They’re all available from the same menu link ————————>

Pictures from the recent April 2011 unit rally at Jordan Lake State Park are available here or via this website’s PHOTOS menu option (at right).   Nineteen units attended this great “first of the year” rally at Vista Point group camping area of Jordan Lake State Park near Pittsboro NC.

Activities included a dinner out at “The General Store” in Pittsboro, a tour of the Matthews’ shop, Capital City Customs (see in the pictures),  a special dinner cooked by Paul Ross, two breakfasts by our own unit chefs, jump roping lessons, flower hunting, coloring, fishing, and lots of talking amongst ourselves especially around the warming fire at our group shelter.

Great turnout, great weather, great tour, great food, great visiting, great rally!

Many great pictures of this big rally.  Thanks to Jerry and Ann Hall for captioning the pictures with names of folks.

George Lamb, 1st VP, reported,”Myrtle Beach was a great conclusion to our 2010 rally season with 21 units attending and plenty of fun, food and fellowship.  . .

Our rally kicked off Thursday with a special dinner provided by Doug and Blake Nash, Robin Nash’s father-in-law and husband . . . This may have to become an annual event, Doug.

Friday evening we had a private room reserved at J. Edward’s Restaurant for our club . . . We celebrated Peggy Moser and Ginger Fishel’s birthdays as well as others who have birthdays in November.

Ray Moser was our Chef-In-Charge for the rally. Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast at the club house with pancakes, sausage, grits and Charlie’s wonderful homemade Moravian sugar cake. I heard Charlie was up at five o’clock to make the sugar cake. Thanks, Charlie, for this delicious treat!

After breakfast President Fishel led our business meeting. After the meeting, Margie and I hooked up and headed home to meet Nicholas, our newest grandson who was born Thursday morning. Everyone  is doing great.

The Saturday night dinner was held at the club house and was under the direction of Chef Moser. I understand that Ray prepared a delicious supper of lasagna and salad with chocolate cake for dessert.

Thanks to Ray and all the super chefs who prepared our meals.”
