choice of who should receive this first annual award. Results will be announced at our evening meal.
HOSTING BOA 2011 INTERNATIONAL RALLY:
The MAB Executive Committee met and they have recommended that the 2011 BOA International Rally, that
MAB is hosting, be held on May 17-21, 2011, at the Amana Colonies RV Park and Event Center, Amana, Iowa. It was
felt to be more centrally located for all those attending. The park offers over 450 camp sites, meeting spaces and
rates were $20.00 plus tax per night for water and electric sites and $23.00 plus tax per night for full hook-ups. This
rate would apply to people arriving up to three days early and those staying up to three days late.
After discussion, a motion was made by Carolyn Shedenhelm that MAB host the 2011 BOA International Rally on
May17-21, 2011, at the Amana Colonies RV Park and Event Center, Amana, Iowa. This was seconded by Dick Clay.
Motion passed unanimously.
2010 MAB RALLIES:
Rick Groves, Vice-President, stated that since we are going to be hosting the
2011 BOA International Rally, the Executive Committee would like to use our May 2010 rally at the Amana
Colonies RV Park and Event Center, Amana, Iowa.
on May 20 – 23, 2010 as a planning rally along with our regular rally. See the list below for next year’s rallies.
A motion was made by Joe Nash, seconded by Niecy Milner that we have our regular MAB Chapter Rally on July
15-18, 2010, in addition to the Branson BOA Rally on July 27-31, 2010. This would give an option for those who are
or are not able to attend the Branson BOA Rally. Motion was passed unanimously.
