New Business:
1. Gavin gave information about the Kansas Caravan in September. Haines and Doughtys are hosts. A couple can join the caravan anywhere along the way. It will start at Hutchinson State Fair leaving there on Sunday, August 19th; therefore, might be necessary for people to be there on Saturday, August 18th. Some discussion took place about where to camp the 18th and there are several campgrounds nearby or dry camping. Some of the stops are Ft. Larned, Ellis, Kearney State Recreational Area, and ending up at the Nebraska State Rally in York, Nebraska. More information with the stops for the night, sights to see, etc. will be coming soon. Gerald passed out registration forms for the Nebraska State Rally in York so each couple going needs to send in their forms.
