From the new Prez

As some of you will have already noticed, the roster of Chapter Officers has changed since the elections held at the General Meeting while at the Sandown Rally.  I personally, would like to thank everyone who supported my decision to run as President.  I think that elections went very smoothly, almost everyone elected stepped voluntarily into their position without being coerced.

  This past weekend was truly a terrific example of how a “no host” rally can be an amazing success.  The weather was more than accommodating and quite a few of us are wearing sunburns as a result.  The fried chicken provided for the Friday night potluck was certainly complimented by the many delicious dishes produced by attendees.  On Saturday morning, the Burnhams and the Dyers very kindly donated bacon and sausages. With the addition of leftover pancake mix and syrup from the club trailer, a wonderful breakfast was served.  Saturday evening, the steaks, burgers, etc. of choice, were sizzling on the grill and another very good meal was produced. An afternoon of serious and competitive game playing on Saturday turned into a Tournament on Sunday, with an entry fee providing cash prizes for the winners.  Congratulations to Randy Cooper for being overall champion both days and to Linda Verruyt for being the most accomplished lady.  For myself, my family and my close friends, this was a great weekend.  Thank you to all of you who supported it. 

  Future proposed rallies, currently being co-ordinated but subject to changes are:

             Kin Beach, Comox on June 26, 27

             Duncan late July or mid August

             Easter Seal Camp Shawnigan on September 11, 12

  I am still considering and investigating a Gulf Islands tour some time over the summer as well.  Any input re: rallies will be very much appreciated.  Please feel free to email me with any ideas or plans at skew67@hughes.net. 

Thank you,

Sandy Quesnel, President
