Barbara & Kermit Haig hosted a wonderful rally on September 10-12 at the Norfolk Firehall which was an excellent location.  The Haigs were provided with ample assistance by Alice & John Foy.  Sixteen coaches attended.  We were sorry that five others who had wanted to come - the Vaniers, Youngs, Stokers, Grigaitises & one more bus were forced to cancel due to health & medical reasons.  A number of the rigs arrived early on Thursday and enjoyed going out for dinner together.  The Friday Meet & Greet was a happy get together with enough nibbles to make supper unnecessary for some people!

Saturday morning the breakfast at Ponderosa was a treat for all who participated.  Jackie Peterson conducted a craft session on Saturday afternoon while downtown Massena closed a block of the main street to traffic for a sidewalk & craft sale & various attractions.  Our potluck dinner on Saturday was magnificent with an assortment of delectable dishes.  The cake was decorated in a tribute to the 10th anniversary of 9/11 & a moment of silence was observed. 

Our Sunday morning breakfast of doughnuts was tasty.  It was followed by an executive meeting and our general meeting which included the successful election of our executive for the coming year.  The weather cooperated favourably with lovely sunny days.  Our hearts were warmed by the fact that Stan Williams was able to come & be with us.   It was a pleasure for all of us to see Stan & spend some time with him.

Many thanks for your contribution, Chris. 
It's appreciated by all TIV members.
