Roaming the Region
by
(aka Gloater), RVC Region 3
It’s the end of the month, I’m still on the road (currently in Dallas,
Texas) yet my column is due and I’m not sure what I’m going to write about. I
guess I should start with telling you about the Inaugural Voyage of the
Gatherings At Sea SIG that Terry and I have just completed. Our thanks to Ray
O’Conner for hosting a really fun trip, a five night cruise out of Galveston to
Cozumel and Calica Mexico. There were approximately 50 of us on board from all
over the USA. Ray arranged to have the Card Room reserved every night so we
could have our own “Hospitality Suite” and proceeded to keep us supplied with
eloquent delights from his blender. (I still wonder what they thought about all
the banana peels found in the trash in the men’s room.) We also managed to have
a DDCH tournament won by yours truly. They plan on doing another cruise later
this year, destination TBD, so be sure to watch for it. They’re a GAS.
I’m hanging around in Dallas awaiting the finance committee next
weekend, then we drive over to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras en route to the
Destin, FL RG the following weekend. We’ll then stay in Destin for another two
weeks on vacation. I’ve really got to get used to this retired life. Hopefully
the ice and snow will be gone by the time we return.
I’ll be in Columbus for March though, since we’re hosting the quarterly
AMC meeting on March 18th and 19th. Friday night are the
various committee meetings and the AMC meeting is all day Saturday. After the
meeting there will be a catered dinner (cost is $15) followed by a games night.
Since this is an election year, this will be the last meeting of the current
AMC. Come and meet us and talk with those who will be running for various
positions next term. Who knows, maybe it will help you make up your mind about
who to vote for.Hopefully there
will be more details elsewhere in this newsletter, if not, email
for particulars.
