RED ROCK REGION 11 RALLY
6-11 OCTOBER, 2010
Volunteerism is the backbone of WBCCI and the upcoming Region 11 Rally has a lot of needs for volunteers. I am not sure of everyone needed, but here are some needs that come to my mind. Someone to run the sound system of the convention center at our events. Bob Werth will need helpers on the Parking committee. If a chairman asks for help, the answer which is appropriate is YES.
Our committee chairs are as follows: Roger Pruter, rally cook; Barbara Vaughn, seminar/craft; Roger Girard, greeter; Bob Werth, parking; Anne Werth, decorations; Don Mantle, publicity; Sue McDowell, registrar.
There is a need for those of you who have a craft or seminar appropriate to the rally, please contact Barbara Vaughn (cell 602-448-6454, email airstreamer2151@yahoo.com) .
Thanks to the volunteers who are stepping up to make this a great Region rally.
Please mark your calendars and plan on attending this rally at a new and exciting venue. Come to Red Rock Park, Gallup NM for an exciting time.
Travelin’ around Region 11,
Dan Neumarkel, 1st VP of Region 11
Soon to be the President
P.S. I am requesting that each Unit supply 5 raffle items.
This will make the evenings more exciting.
Thanks to the above volunteers who are beginning on getting this rally off the ground.
Please mark you calendars and plan on attending this rally at a new and exciting venue. Come to Red Rock Park, Gallup, NM for an exciting time.

New Mexico Airstream Unit # 69
The “Almost A Full Moon” Rally at White Sands National Monument
March 26 – March 29
Perticipants: Jack & JoAnne Palmer (hosts), Tom & Barbara Stallings (co-hosts), Bruce & Kathy Gaither, Larry & Dianne Eakin, Leymoyne Blackshear, Art Flynn and Margret, Artie and Sue McDowell.
The rally started out with a windy Happy Hour and overnight stay at beautiful Oliver Lee State Park. This remarkable place was a surprise to many of us, and a place to remember for a future stay. The next day the wind laid down for a rest in the morning, and we caravaned for the 30 minute trip to the entrance of White Sands National Monument. Once we passed the gatehouse, the participants were afforded a very unique and unprecedented opportunity to hold an RV rally at White Sands National Monument. This was the first time in WSNM history that overnight RV camping has been allowed. Therefore there were some special requirements, e.g., dry camping only; each trailer had to bring its own water (or make do without!); a barrier (i.e., drip pan, pan, bucket, etc.) had to be placed beneath trucks, motor homes, and placed under the outlets of the black and gray water; no dumping of gray water permitted; no dump station. Sounds like a big hassle that no one could enjoy, right? WRONG - every one of the participants had a fabulous time and we’ve all asked to be put on the waiting list for next year’s rally (hopefully, next Fall). This was a rally that Wally would have loved - a semi-circle of Airstreams, parked under the (almost) full moon, at one of the most beautiful and unique places on the planet! Thanks to our rally hosts for pulling off a great rally.

Notes from Sue McDowell
The White Sands Rally was fabulous, with the almost full moon and the white sand dunes surrounding us. Everything seemed to shine. Even during the day, the snow on Sierra Blanca peeped over the white dunes. We took an evening guided stroll through the dunes, and learned about the various plants, critters, and how the dunes moved. The Palmers, our gracious hosts, outdid themselves with all the preparations. Thank you so very much!! Hopefully this will be repeated next fall!
