5 From The White House Well I lived in a white house Chuck Smith President Hello, everyone! I hope no one has had any problems from all of the rain we have received lately. We have done OK, just had a small river flowing through the four fields here one afternoon, but nothing close to the house. It's Road Trip Time! For quite some time, I have wanted the club to have a meeting in the towns of our members that live a distance away. This is only my opinion, but I have never thought that it was fair for the far away members to have to drive a long way every month to attend meetings. So for the June meeting, we will travel to Leesburg, to the home of James and Lillian Law. For those who want to, and are coming from the north, we are going to meet in Perry GA, and caravan to Leesburg. There is information elsewhere in this newsletter, concerning the meeting place and time. The club will furnish fried chicken and drinks, the ladies are asked to bring salads or desserts, and anyone can bring some chips. I hope there will be a good turnout for this; I would like to maybe do this a couple times a year, at different places, of course. Keep them 'Vairs rolling, see you in June!
