Dear Yank's:
It's been a busy and gratifying year for me as a member of the Yankee Chapter. Our rock solid efforts paid off with an excellent Rhinebeck show, a great down east Maine Road Run, a fantastic Hebron Chapter meet and another wet and wild Sterling Campground gathering. I hope you were able to take advantage of these events.
Tim has a write-up about Hebron, but I thought I would note the growth we had with vendors topping 45 even with bad weather Friday, and at least 6 had never been to Hebron before. Most had a great selling day and were pleased to have come. One had a great BUYING day and was just as happy!
I hope you are all enthusiastic about the direction the club is moving. Our involvement with Rhinebeck has been beyond my wildest imagination. Not only did we supply over 35 workers last year, most of you know the maps were developed by one of our members Mark Hunnibell. At the Rhinebeck Coalition meeting held in August we put together a vending team with Mark, our own Tom Carlson and Mudfish from NY. They will replace Tim Cantele whose business just wont let him get away. Anyhow, with Mark working on some electronic on line maps and Mudfish and Tom taking care of phone calls and mailings, they plan to streamline the check-in process further. There will be some additional changes at Rhinebeck in 2010 which I will be writing up throughly for another newsletter we'll be putting out after December.
As usual, I would be happy to hear from you directly. Email
Dan
