be unpacking the ol’ Bounder and getting ready for another camping season. Some of our lucky members have been enjoying their Bounders all winter and visiting warm places. Either way, everyone needs to be ready for the May rally and a new rally season. Information on the May 2013 Rally is now posted on the Calendar on the website With fuel prices being what they are, Mid-America Bounders are making every attempt to centralize our rally sites in locations that are accessible to all of our members. Time and time again, I have heard members say they just can’t make a certain rally because it is just too far away. From northern points in Minnesota to some southern points in Indiana is a real haul. As you might imagine, finding common grounds for our chapter rallies is sometimes difficult at best. However, we manage to get together, share in fellowship and have a great time. Life is good! Members of MAB have been greatly saddened in recent days. We have lost a long time member to a short battle with cancer. Bob Hansen will be missed by everyone. With his quirky since of humor, his kind heart and his general good nature, Bob managed to be everyone’s friend. Please keep his wife, Judy and his daughter Kristen in your thoughts and prayers. Late last year, we experienced another loss to our chapter. One of our very much loved founding members, Phyllis Jones, passed away on Tuesday December 18, 2012. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to her Husband Les and the Family.
Vice-President for addition to the Calendar. The rallies in May and October both need co-hosts. As of right now, we do not have a planned Rally for July. If anyone can step up to the plate, it would be appreciated. Both rallies are being hosted by seasoned members, so volunteer and learn how easy it is.
the winter guests and think about warmer times that are just around the corner. We are looking forward to seeing some of you in the months to come. CONCERNS Be sure to notify Carol Hardacre (our “sunshine” person) of any illness, deaths or special concerns about any of our MAB members. Tommie Nash, Bob Israelson and Tom Holmes are continuing their brave fights with their medical conditions. Dave Czerniak seems to be doing much better. Please keep these friends in your thoughts and prayers.
