Pog IV The Beginning

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Did everyone who requested a regestration form for Branson recieve one or are there others out there like us who still have not

After 2 requests we were wondering.

HI Joe, I recieved one a week ago. i don't think I will be going, so I can send you mine, or just call Jim Skiff. Gary

[dalej]

Gary, now you just re-think that and make plans to go! We'll get Joe there.

[garyde]

Hi Dale. I definately want to be there, but I may be over commited. We'll see.

Jim has asked Darl Wilson and myself to look into sites in our regeion for a future Rally. We will be getting together soon to do that.
I have great reservations toward doing a rally in Reno or Las Vegas or other gambling meca's. Nothing against gambling or those areas, but it will scatter any group to the various surrounding activities. We have a rally in Reno with our RV group each year and the togetherness is non existent.

The success of our rallys to date stems from a day to day full participation.

Do visit those two cities to or from a rally they are great fun.
That said we will do our best to find a site in our area's that will provide adequate facilities, power, space, paving and weather.

Welcome home Harry and I agree with you about no rally in the casino parks. That is a one on one activity between the gambler and the money collector not a group activity

As you said go before or after we enjoy each others company at a focussed rally.

[garyde]

Hi Harry. It's all about getting us together and having a good time at a great location. There are so many places in the West, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, & California.

[Darl-Wilson]

As for the objection about meeting in a gamblers meca like LV or Reno. Casinos are now everywhere and but are just more abundant in Nevada. If people are going to scatter to casinos and not take part in the meetings, dinners, and seminars, that are part of the POG get-together then they would do the same thing if there were some sort of diversion at another location. The rally activities should be interesting enough to captivate the attention of the members without them wandering off, helter-skelter, in all directions. After having Nevada as my home for almost 2 decades I understand that some folks cannot seem to get out of the casinos but I do not think that the majority of the people in our group would abandon the rally to spend 24/7 in a smoke-filled casino. I know, opinions are like noses, everyone has one one! This is mine for whatever it is worth
