MICHIGAN OVERLOADERS

The Overloaders, aka “The Fun Bunch,” arrived May 20-23 at the Apple Creek RV Park, Grass Lake MI, with most of us arriving a day early.   Our hosts were Oscar & Carol Case, and they did a great job!   Except for one day of on-again, off-again rain, we had very nice weather and were able to sit out in a circle to visit or have a campfire most of the time.

Thursday evening we had a potluck supper. It goes without saying that we have many great cooks in our club and had a great variety of dishes. Friday we had a potluck breakfast, which is fast becoming something to look forward to. That evening our hosts provided Sloppy Joes and lettuce while we ladies provided the rest of the salad fixings. Carol Ralston brought a birthday cake to celebrate hubby Jim's big day. On Saturday our men provided a pancake breakfast and we ladies brought along plain baseball caps. We were instructed that we were to take them to our rigs and decorate them to reflect our husbands’ interests, and we could only use items we had in our rigs. On went the thinking caps. Later that afternoon we got together for an ice cream social, which we all enjoyed. Then we headed back to the camping area for another game of Lawn Chair Baseball.   The men won again, but only by two points this time. It was so nice out that we decided that instead of eating in the clubhouse we would put the picnic tables together and grill out the hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs. We hadn't eaten outside in a long time and it was very nice. We also had the judging of the hat contest; it was fun figuring out the meaning of all the items on the hat and a winner was named.   Lots of laughs over that! That evening we had another campfire and also played Nickel Bingo. Sunday came with coffee and rolls and our sad goodbyes until the next rally.

We held our business meeting on Friday morning and discussed upcoming rallies.   Our Fall Rally will be held September 16 – 19, 2010 at the Bayshore Campground in Sebewaing MI with Stan & Toni Dobies hosting with the help of John Verellen.   The following fall Bob & Betsy Stevens will host the Fall Rally September 22 – 25, 2011 at KC Campground in Milan MI. We still need a host for our spring 2011 rally.  

Election of officers has taken place and those new officers will take over at the Fall Rally, at the conclusion of the old business at the business meeting.
