Jean Wilkins (750-2841) gave a short talk about Operation Shoebox. She said that besides shipping bags filled with goodies for our troops they also collect Beanie Babies to give out to the children. The children are taught to hate Americans and this kind gesture helps bridge the gap of friendliness. She also stated that postage for a normal month costs $7,000. This month they will ship over 20,000 Holiday stockings which could triple postage. The club decided to pass a collection bottle and we raised $497 for Operation Shoebox. Volunteers are always needed on Mondays at Hibiscus. Over 200,000 bags have been shipped since the inception of Operation Shoebox. A Chinese Auction will be held on January 24th and they need donations for this event.

Len Holdswoth mentioned Frank Boissey was the winner of golf at the Grand Lake rally. He also stressed the need for people to call the rally Wagon Master prior to the rally if there is a need to cancel. He mentioned he had four (4) "no shows" which creates a major problem for Wagon Masters. Due to these "no shows" and last minute cancellations, the park now requires a $25 payment per camper prior to any rally.
Linda Fiedler, Wagon Master, again stressed the need to call the rally wagon master prior to the rally if you need to cancel. There usually are people on the waiting list who would like to fill in if there are cancellations. You are taking up a spot that someone else might like to use. She called upon each rally wagon master to give their reports.
