Darlene and I are extremely bummed to say that we are not going to be able to make it to the rally. you cant know how dissappointed we are and we tried to figure out how we could do it. We have too many things that have piled up on us (almost all having to do with our new home and starting our new newell garage).
we did get the shirts and hats done and they are on the way to the rv resort for you guys. Larry will be taking care of that for us. jeff did a great job of designing them.
I wanted to thank the planning committee for the rally. they did all the work and i am sure it will run flawlessly. michael, steve b, steve m, chester, forest, larry and jeff b. i have asked michael if he would be our master of ceremonies in my place.
we are so sorry we cant be there but expect phone calls and emails and posts on it while you guys are there.
we also hope any of you that are in our area in arizona stop by and see us. our home is always open to any of you.
we will miss seeing our old and new friends. but....the next one we will be there. for sure.
sorry we will not be there. i feel like i am missing a family reunion.

Tom,
Rhonda's parents are coming with us, and they really really liked Missy. Could you FedEx her to Arkansas for the rally? e'll bring her back in November when we visit you.
Seriously, I can only imagine how torn you are. Look on the bright side. For those who didn't get to attend this year, it's more motivation to start planning for next year.

We will try and have a good time in spite of the absence of Tom, Darlene, Jeff, Pam, Clarke & Elaine. We will send you photos of the rest of us not having any fun without all of you.

We will definitely be at the next rally. I have found my self still referring to our rallies as "mini" rallies, but based on the numbers from the rally last year, and this year I don't think the term mini applies anymore. Hope you all have a great time, and I hope lots of pictures will be posted. We are with you in spirit.....Clarke and Elaine

You're right Clarke, the only thing mini about this rally is what Larry drags around behind his coach.
Gonna miss you!

A flatbed truck just delivered the MINI last night to Newell and I have many a Guru witness to this. So why "Drag" when you can get delivery ?
