We had a great weekend at Mayberry Campground a week ago. Seven coaches with thirteen members attended this rally. We all came in on Thursday and we had a late afternoon welcome get together, arranged by our hosts Joyce and BB, with the help of Buddy, their four legged companion.
Friday most everyone took the opportunity to explore the town of Mount Airy and the surrounding areas. A few even wandered into nearby southwest Virginia. One couple found an apple and peach orchard, bringing back a box of delicious fresh picked peaches. That evening most of us went to the the nearby town of Dobson for dinner at the Depot restaurant. Great meal, service, and company. That evening a few got together around the firepit.
Saturday was another day of exploration for most of us. Several couples found their way to that Virginia orchard for peaches and apples. Others did shopping trips into Mount Airy, while others stayed at the park under the shade of their awnings. That afternoon most of us were putting together our pot luck contributions for that nights dinner. Around six we all gathered at the shelter and enjoyed everyone's efforts. Some of those peaches found there way into a churn of peach ice cream that we all enjoyed. We followed up dinner with our meeting. After the meeting we all sat around the firepit until the last of the wood embers died down.
During our meeting we decided to help promote our club, and it's membership, by having tee shirts printed with our new logo and distributed to the current and future members. Current members who will be attending the holiday lunch in December should contact the club secretary, Mitzi, as soon as possible, with their sizing requests. The shirts will not be delivered, but if you are coming to an event and you give Mitzi enough lead time, the shirts can be brought there for you. Check your email for one from her about this.
Sunday morning we got together for a light breakfast, again supplied by our hosts. Someone remembered that this would be our last rally of the year and we had not elected officers for next year. After a little discussion we opened up another meeting session and elected officers for 2025, with the current officers serving another term. After that the process of packing up to leave before checkout time began. Another rally closed out with fond goodbyes and wishes for safe travels.
Our next get together will be our holiday luncheon, Sunday, December 8th, at 2 PM. We chose the Olympic Family restaurant located in northwest Greensboro/Colfax area, 8900 West Market Street, Colfax, NC 27235, (336) 605-4745. Please bring a new unwrapped small toy for a young boy or girl, or both, for our club to pass along to the US Marines Toys for Tots campaign.
A reminder about the 2025 club dues. First, your membership with the parent club, in Red Bay, at the Tiffin headquarters, must be current. If it is, you can renew your membership with the Piedmont Allegro Club. Check your email in December for more information about doing that.
