A GREAT MAY RALLY

1888 The Crew At Homassas Srpings The Sandy Oaks RV resort was great place for the May Rally.  A total of 8 rigs (15 members) enjoyed the activities throughout the weekend.

Thursday night we enjoyed dinner at Mamma Mia’s Italian Restaurant and were joined by Ruth, Norm and Samantha Sutton and Norma and Morris Foreman.

The trip to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park was most enjoyable. Pat was our tour guide and as a volunteer at the park she knew all the fine points of this outstanding venue.

On Friday evening we celebrated Pat and Bill’s wedding anniversary with a special ice cream cake.

1915 John Cooking The Bison BurgersAs advertised we enjoyed a Western dinner on Saturday night.  The Cowboy Beans and Bison burgers were a nice treat.

As everyone headed home on Sunday, we remind each other to travel safe and enjoy their planned summer travels.  Some are headed off to new places, some will stay in the area and others have their favorite  camping spots for the summer.  For everyone who attended it was another enjoyable time for the Florida Springs gang.

Wherever your travels take you, we all look forward to seeing you next fall at the October New Officer Installation Rally.

New BLUE Beret Website

Blue Beret Online

Tom Collier announced at the Florida State Rally that we have a new website for the Blue Beret magazine. The link to the website is www.blueberetonline.com

We have added this new website under “Links”  so everyone has quick access to the new online version of the Blue Beret.

It was also announced at the Florida State Rally that anyone wishing to opt out of receiving a hard copy of the Blue Beret will be given this option in the future.

Like everything new it will take a bit of time getting comfortable with an online version. If you “hover” over the “layout” icon below the website header you will have a choice as to how you want to view the magazine. I found that choosing “page view” was the easiest for me. When the magazine first loads it will take a few seconds for it to focus. This is dependant on your internet connection speed. Once it is open you can choose a percentage for the size of each page. The best seems to be in the range of 100% to 175%. This is the future for magazines and newspapers and it is great to see WBCCI embracing the growing use of electronic media.

So why not give this new media a try and consider saving a tree in the future !!
