Havasu Signups Feb. 13-15

We just arrived at Havasu. Beautiful red sky sunset this evening. We hope it bodes well for a nice weekend.

The forum on Saturday should prove to be a good one. Donovan Pelky who is a Prevost parts team leader in Mira Loma has verified he will be here. Donovan has offered to bring any parts that folks might be needing providing he can fit them in his car. Give Donovan a call at Mira Loma if you are interested. We are also hopeful that Bill Jensen will be here. Bill is the longtime Prevost Motor Home Shell Service Manager and the acknowledged expert on our MH shells. Steve Bennett of California Coach and Wayne Mullis of Desert West RV will also be here and between them have many years of experience in Prevost sales and service. Both Cal Coach and Desert West are POG sponsors.

Have your questions ready for these gentlemen. Remember one of the maxims of POG is that there are no dumb questions however you can never be sure whether you're hearing a dumb answer, unless of course there are bonafide experts in the room to keep us honest.

Another thing, gals are welcome at these discussions, some of us are very lucky to have room mates who actually dig the greasy side.

Well, sorry we have not posted up pics yet, just been too busy!

Will take a moment to thank all those who donated to our charity auction to benefit the Lake Havasu Senior Center, Meals on Wheels. The list is long and distinguished, I won't name a bunch of names as I am sure I will forget someone and that is no bueno!

Talk to someone who was there. The generosity displayed by POG folks and friends was hard to believe.

There we many surprising donations, as well as bids. Once again thanks to all.
By the way,, we did raise........

FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED & CHANGE!!!

The lady from the senior center didn't quite know what to say! I think we exceeded her wildest expectations!

Many thanks to all involved, we had a hoot... More pics and stories to follow in a day or three.

Warren looks like all those misfits out there this weekend has convinced at least one more to join the ranks.

Welcome Joel what took you so long:rolleyes: Look at all the fun you have been missing!

Joe, Misfits? Well okay, then I'm proud to be one. What started out to be a low key gathering turned into one of the best rally's we've had yet.

From the terrific kick-off brought to us by the generosity and innovation of the Zitterers margarita party to the blazing finale of the spectacular fireworks display last night, we all enjoyed a fun filled weekend. None of the weekends success would have been possible without the hard work and organizational skills of Warren and Kelly Jo who were the true wagonmasters of the affair.

Thanks to our leader Jim Skiff, Saturday started with the best buffet breakfast we've ever enjoyed. Breakfast was followed by an informal tech gathering in which Steve Bennett (Calif. Coach Sales) gave us a good rundown on the current Prevost market (or lack thereof). Scott Parks, an experienced Prevost Chassis Tech was also in attendance as a new Prevost owner. Scott answered a number of thorny questions relating to chassis issues. Hopefully we will be able to welcome Scott and his wife as new members soon. The Saturday night dinner and auction was attended by all and aside from having a terrific feed, Warren proved himself to be an auctioneer to be reckoned with (look out Jim and Roger). Thanks to the Casson's we were entertained with some terrific Sinatra tunes sung by Mr. Randy Harris, a very talented guy.

Sunday started with a hunting expedition for the elusive Red Breasted Golf Ball led by Warren. Those who participated all shot their legal limit. The finale was the Western Pyrotechnics Assn. annual fireworks extravaganza, WOW. Pics will soon be posted by Dale and others we're sure. We'd all like to add our special thanks to Michelle Dawson, Sales Manager at Havasu RV Resort for making our visit a truly unique experience, that of staying at a first class campground for practically nothing. Thanks to all, especially our new members who will easily help us westies overcome the plague of the east. Everyone contributed to the fun and insanity.

The Clarks would like to send a special THANK YOU to Kelley Jo and Warren for planning and executing a fabulous ralley in LHC. Is this going to be an annual PARTAH? I can't wait to do it all again.

Mike & Dee

Thanks so much Kelly and Warren for setting up the gathering in Lake Havasu! It was nice to see everyone and some new members.

We went and saw some really neat fireworks and here is one of my favorites...it's a fire bomb. They shoot these up in the air and KABOOM!!!

Nice picture Dale. Thanks. Now where are the rest of the pictures from the West Coast Group. Although I'm computer challenged some of the other East Coasters posted pictures of our Mini Rally.

Show us those smiley faces !

I too would like to add my Kudo's for Warren and Kelly although Warren better keep his day job cause he ain't gonna make the team as an auctioneer!:D

I would also like to add a thank you to Brian and Beverly for all of their assistance, also an honorble mention to Harry (Pallidin) Hoppe. The Rub Rail protection kit I am certain will make an appearance at another get together! Trust you are enjoying those bright red skivs...................

We should do someting like this every few months!

It was a great rally. Brian and Beverly instigated and promoted, and Warren and Kelly Jo really put it together. Thanks to all, we had a great time!

You must of really hated to leave Peter! I could hear you blowing your air horns saying good bye all the way to Lowes. :) :) :)
