Our Spring Rally was held at Big Rig Friendly Resort in Columbia beginning April 28. We had 33 people in attendance. We had 4 new members and one guest. Our new Southern Area VP Mike Smalley and his wife Doris joined us. Our hosts the Fullers had some great new ideas in store for us. We had a baked potato bar and a cruise on Lake Murray. Both were big hits. The facility was great and very accommodating.
