ing and that has kept the temperature down a little. Still a bit muggy. Yesterday afternoon the North Little Rock Fire Department returned to do some more training off the old bridge. This time they were practicing rappelling off the bridge.After they were finished with their training one of the guys came over to visit. He was interested in all the "big" coaches here in the RV park. I was more interested in the leveler mechanism they had on that ladder truck. I bet I could really level this coach easily if I had those things to do it with.
Last night was the 
official opening of the rally. We all went down to the Chamber of Commerce building, where all our activities will be held, for a meet 'n greet get together. Since this is our first time at a rally with this club we are dubbed "first timers". We were assigned a sponsor to introduce us to everyone and "show us the ropes". This is actually about our 15th Monaco related rally and they all operate pretty much the same. It is still nice to have someone from the club to help newcomers ease into things and meet all the other members. Our friends, Don & Vicki Leith, are the Co-Rally Masters and were responsible for putting this all together. (If you have followed this blog for very long you know who Don & Vicki are.) They took on the duty last night of manning the wine serving table. Actually I think Vicki did the wine serving while Don "supervised". This rally is a bit different than the other Monaco Coach rallies we've attended in that there are no seminars or other planned activities planned during the day. Everyone is pretty much on their own to sight see and explore the area. We do have an ice cream social this afternoon and the ladies have a luncheon tomorrow.

Hopefully the club doesn't made 'first timers' do initiation ceremonies. Last time I went to a new place was the Hash House Harriers in Sydney (a British ex-pat thing that has spread all over the world); can't remember what all happened other than they splashed beer on our trainers and gave us stupid nicknames...
Shelly,
These rallies operate solely by the members volunteering. They did ask the first timers to be the bartenders on Thursday night. With five couples that was more bartenders than was needed. I declined since I prefer not to be serving alcohol to others. We volunteered for the cleanup crew for Saturday night instead.
