Three Rivers Winnies
Local Chapter
By Faye Winklevoss

November: Three Rivers Winnies met at Fire Mountain Restaurant, Chippewa, PA for the Nov. 8 luncheon and meeting. Thirty-three people arrived to enjoy good fellowship and the plentiful smorgasbord. At our meeting, we discussed the 2010 camping schedule. Right now, that seems so far off. Our motor homes have been winterized, except for those that travel south. Not long after spring and we will be ready to hit the road again. Plans are in the making for an exciting year!

December: We met at the Garden Gate restaurant in Butler, PA for our December meeting, followed by a smorgasbord luncheon and Christmas party.

New membership directories were made available. These pictorial copies were prepared in color by our 2009 Vice President, Tony DeFurio. Tony is a retired Director of Art professor at Indiana University of PA.

Our annual pop tab collection netted 182lbs, bringing our grand total of 1,665lbs. Dale and Joan Luxon took the tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh, PA.

Our new officers were installed and are: President, Blair Hursh; Vice President, Jim Stranford; Secretary, Eileen Darden; and Treasurer, Pam Stranford.

A tentative luncheon/camping schedule was planned for the coming year. Some new camping and dining facilities are included. The 2010 season offers an excellent variety of camping experiences with interesting sightseeing opportunities. So, don't get too comfortable in your favorite at-home chair. In just a few months, we will be bringing out the motor homes and heading to Friendship Village in Bedford, PA.
