Where: Battle Row Campground
Old Bethpage, NY 11804

If you are coming with your motorhome and want water and 30 amp electric, you must call and make a reservation with a credit card ($20 a night if you have a Nassau County Leisure Pass and $25 if you don't). If you want to dry camp, it will be $10 a night and you will pay us once you get here. We will go out to dinner Friday after we make Shabbat and have Pot luck or pizza(the group will decide) Saturday after Havdalah. We will have breakfast Saturday and Sunday the cost of which will be shared by the participants. We will "erect" the Sukkah Friday afternoon. We will play some games - -weather permitting. People who want to join us for any part of the rally are welcome.
If you haven't already notified us please let me know ASAP.

SEA Rally
Brooksville, FL
Our Eastern VP, Joe Elowsky, has arranged for CHAI to be Tram Volunteers.
There is one caveat, he must notify them before the end of September.
If you are thinking of attending Brooksville and would like to volunteer, notify Joe ASAP. He will need your names and F numbers.
If you would like to assist Joe in other aspects of coordinating CHAI events or have any questions regarding Brooksville, please contact him.

3/16-19, 2009
FMCA Convention
Perry, GA
This will be our 5th anniversary, so I hope we will have a large turnout. According to our standing rules we will have one of our 2 business meetings there.
CHAI will be volunteering as Greeters, which means that once the rally starts, their obligations will be over. We need 30 volunteers (30 individuals not couples). Again, if you are thinking of coming to Perry and would like to volunteer, let Joe know. Also, if you would help organize CHAI activities let him know. We will have Kabbalat Shabbat and Havdalah services.

4/8-11, 2009
Passover Rally
Hilton Head, SC
If you are interested, please let me know as we are making arrangements with the campground.
That is all for now. As some of you know our daughter, Cheryl is getting married October 12. Also, when we arrived in NY, the doctors decided I needed one more surgery and that I couldn't wait until after the wedding. I am healing slowly, which is typical for me, but I am glad it is behind me.
When the wedding is behind us, I will focus on CHAI and you will hear from me again.
Donna
