Rogersville, AL – October 22, 2008

Another day of information and visiting with people. We found that there are 2200 memberships in the AGLCA. Most of the memberships are comprised of 2 people so there are approximately 4400 members. Of the 2200 membership, 360 have already completed the Loop, 220 are in the process of doing the Loop and 1620 want to do the Loop.

There is a complete e-mail listing of all the members and everyone uses it to offer information, ask questions and give opinions. That’s a lot of people sharing knowledge.

The lodge at Joe Wheeler Park offered a shuttle into town every afternoon this week. This afternoon Beth took advantage of it and went in to pick up a few more items. The driver Ed, retired to Rogersville from California about 4 years ago. He volunteers at Joe Wheeler Park 40 hours a week. He was very helpful and took us every place we wanted to go.

The dinghy race was held late this afternoon. Each dinghy held 2 people, the helmsman and the navigator. All they had to do was go out 100 yards, round a mark and return. The fastest team won. Sounds simple, right? The driver was blindfolded and the dinghy was driven backwards! A lot of fun to watch! The third place boat used oars rather than an engine.

Tonight, another reception and dinner. There will be a speaker talking about Weather and Weather Radio.
