News - Keystone Kourier - 2010
Prez Says
Congratulations to EMIL SCHULTHEISZ! The bulletin board he prepared for the International Rally in Gillette won an HONORABLE MENTION in the theme category! The award is a large white ribbon. Thank you Emil! ☺
Don Weaver announced he is ready to give someone else a turn as membership chair and service rally chair. (Any volunteers?) Our thanks to Don for organizing the work rally at French Creek State Park for most of the past decade. This single rally went a long way to help us win the highest level of merit award for the Keystone Unit year after year. Don was recently in the hospital with pneumonia.
State Rally 2011 – All Roads Lead to Lebanon Jeff and Joanne Michael have taken on the Co-Chair duties and already have a great tentative schedule. Let’s give them all the help and support we can.
2010-11 Officers
Bud Cattell has rounded up a great slate of Officers for the coming year so be sure attend the Installation Rally on October 9, at the Deluxe restaurant in Shillington. You will be able to order off the menu and then simply add a small amount to cover Kathy Forsyth’s meal. Kathy is Region 2 – 1st Vice President and she will be performing the installation. Unfortunately, this is the weekend Tim and I always go to Dewey Beach, DE for the Greyhounds Reach the Beach weekend so we will not be there.
2011 Rally ScheduleWe still have some a lot of holes to fill. Especially since Don will no longer be in charge of the French Creek rally. Any other work rally ideas? Do people want to continue to go to French Creek? I am sure Don can give you the name of his contact. How about the Spring Lunch, Picnic and/or Christmas Lunch?
On a personal note, for those of you who know we lost our greyhound Francie to osteosarcoma, I am pleased to announce we have adopted a new female greyhound named Grace. When we went on the Fingerlakes caravan years ago we had another female greyhound named Tiffany. Grace is Tiffany’s niece.
Now for some not so shameless promotion of two upcoming events that I think are going to be great, (I am also on the organizing committees so I could be a bit biased!)

This race benefits the National Brain Tumor Society. I am walking and would like to have a lot of company to walk with me! For more information go to: www.braintumor.org and click on events
Lastly, we have not had a meeting since the picnic and will not have another under my tenure. Caryle or Gloria may chose to hold one at the State Rally in September, so be have your issues ready. I am anxious to get an update from Peg on the patch / jacket progress.
