Nutmeg Winnies
State Club
By Allie Holdridge

Sept. 18, twenty-two coaches gathered at Deer Haven Campground in Lisbon, CT where another club was enjoying this very nice campground. Not long after we were all accounted for, we had our social hour with many delectable hors d'oeuvres brought by some of our members. It was so bountiful that some of us never went to our coaches to make supper.

Saturday we held our annual meeting. Our President was on the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Rally, so Sue Donahue (CNW's treasurer) ran the meeting. Following the election of officers, our past President, Evelyn Dean, installed them. They are: President, Marcia Sindland; Vice President, Allie Holdridge; Secretary, Sharon Whitney; and Treasurer, Susan Donohue. Tom and Bev Huntley were welcomed to their first campout. They do a lot of traveling in their Outlook and this was the first time they were able to attend a CNW campout since joining the club a year ago.

Our hosts, Rod and Sharon Whitney, put out a very nice ice cream social with all the fixings. Some of us tried to work off the calories by playing games. Later TJ's Caterers brought in dinner for us.
