From Steve Masterson

11:27 AM (0 minutes ago)

Hi everyone.  Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah. 
This message is going out to Chapter Presidents as listed in the latest
Escapee magazine, other Chapter Officers, the ACRE Planning Committee
and others who have helped make ACRE a success.

The ACRE Steering Committee has been hard at work getting ready for
the 2019 rally to be held April 29, 2019 to May 5, 2019 at the Pine Mountain
RV Resort in Pine Mountain, GA.  Prior to the rally Jim Koca from SKP, Inc
will conduct a Boot Camp.  Some highlights of the rally include food, food
and more food and lots of social time.  For seminars we will have Jim Koca
and Jim and Chris Guld from Geeks on Tour as presenters.  Did I say food?
Well, this year we will also have a morning walking group. 

Please pass this information onto your chapter members and we hope to see
you in April.     

Hugs
Steve Masterson
President SKP ACRE

Rally History Update

I have updated the Rally History page to include the 2019 rallies.  And I have learned a new trick to make the image clearer on a PC.  1) click on the image. 2) right click on the image in the new tab and click on Open Image in new tab.  This works better on the second page image.  I do wish Blogger would allow inserting a PDF file.

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to let members of Chapter 6 know that our dear friend Mark Bronson passed away today.  Mark loved being an Escapee and a member of Chapter 6.  Those of you that knew Mark were blessed by his humor and giving spirit.  He will be missed and knowing that he is no longer suffering and in pain gives us comfort as we grieve for our friend.  Our prayers and thoughts go out to Sherri and Mark’s loving family. 


Comment by Bernie Patton
We will surely miss our friend, Chapter 6 member for several years, Vice President for 2 years, President for 2 days. He was a tireless worker and obtained some new venues for our rallies. A friend to everyone.
