BRANSON BOUND


We left on September 5th to drive to Branson, Missouri. The arch in Saint Louis as we drove past.

 We have a sampler package to experience the Diamond Resort, so we were staying here in Branson for the NOMADS annual meeting.
 Our room were on the fourth floor of this building.
 Living room with outside porch.
 kitchen and dining room.
 bedroom
 and bath. I loved that jacuzzi!
 The rest of the NOMADS were staying two miles away at the KOA.
 We thank this NOMAD  for letting us park at their site for the meetings.
 There were 317 NOMADS in attendance. Lots of good speakers and seminars.
 There were tables and tables of items to bid on during the silent auction.
 And then there was the live auction.  The total raised was $56,000 !!!!
 We had a nice dinner at McFarlain's
 It was sure nice visiting with friends, Sandy and Dave.
 Another night we had a delicious pot luck dinner.
 Next year the annual meeting will be in Kalamazoo, Michigan September 27 to October 2. Gary "flew " in and told us about the airplane museum that is there
 and Dennis drove in and told us about the car museum. It sounds like it will be another great time and we hope to see you there next year.

We had a very tasty catered dinner on Thursday Night.

The closing entertainment was voted the best new group in Branson last year. They were very entertaining with lots of fun songs. It has been a very enjoyable week.
