Second VP

During the recent Region 9 Rally in Mineola, TX, the nominating committee approved Ken Sands as the new nominee
for Region 9 2nd vice president.

Ken is currently the President of the Hill Country Unit and resides with wife Sandy in Georgetown, TX. He will be installed at the Region Luncheon in Bozeman, MT on July 3, 2008

All aboard for Bozeman!

IFollow these steps to save fuel costs:

  1. Get to Mineola, TX
  2. Board a sleeper to Havre, Montana.
  3. Rent a small car and drive to Bozeman.

Airstreamers can accomplish anything!

 

Presidents Comments:

The rally in Mineola was a great success.  For those of you that may not know, a running total of the amount of money
spent in Mineola by Region 9 Airstreamers (including the Rally Fees) was over $145,000. The rig count was 126. You can read about it in the Blue Beret.

One thing is for certain, the folks in Mineola will not soon forget the Airstreamers of Region 9.

Now is the time to plan for a caravan to Bozeman. One of the highlights of the International Rally each year is the Region 9 Luncheon. This year is no different.  Good food, good company and this year we will install Ken Sands as the
new Region 9, 2nd Vice President.

See you in Bozeman!

Evan and Mary Ellen, Doug and Sheryl, CC and Carla, and Lyle and Peggy and our new 2nd vp (& spouse) Ken and Sandy.
