Last Rally News  RALLY NEWS PDF FOR JUNE 28

by Susan Martin

It has been a wonderful rally and I have been honored to try my hand at this new endeavor (for me) with the Rally News. We International Rally veterans have been so happy to meet so many First Timers. Newcomers, continue to ask questions, and we will be happy to answer and share what we have learned.

Be sure to attend the presentation for next year’s Rally in Doswell, Virginia, this morning at 9 am. Then come to Columbia Hall to register for the Rally this afternoon from 2:00-4:00 pm (NOTE THE TIME CHANGE), or tomorrow morning.

On Friday, browse the Flea Market in the morning, attend the parade in the afternoon, and come to the Closing ceremony in the evening. All members are welcome to attend the IBT meeting Saturday morning. Saturday will also be departure day for most of us, but whenever you leave – safe travels, and we’ll see you down the road!
