Garlic Festival in September 2014

Another fabulous Rally was held in Saugerties, NY for the Garlic Festival.  We had 5 rigs in attendance and we had an Italian Themed Pot Luck Dinner on Saturday night that was fantastic!  We also had the opportunity to enjoy each other's company for two wonderful nights of campfires and conversations.

Delaware Seashore Rally in August

Several members of Metropolitan were able to get away for an extended Rally at the Delaware Seashore State Park just outside of Rehoboth, DE.  We had 5 rigs in attendance as well as visits from our First Couple the Whitford's.
Again, we were able to enjoy many side trips around the area and many meals together; both Pot Luck type meals and Restaurant meals near the shore.  We also rented a boat for an afternoon on the water.

NEAR Rally in July 2014

In July, Metropolitan took part in the North Eastern Area Rally (NEAR) in Vermont.  Thanks to the leadership of Mo and Pat Magliocchino, Metropolitan was able to take charge of the Door Prize Function and successfully hand out hundreds of gifts to rally participants.

Metropolitan had 8 rigs in attendance and many side trips and wonderful meals were shared by all.

At the event, a Chapter Meeting was held where some new Officers were selected.
