5th Not-So-Annual George Washington Rallye a Success!
by Alice S. Arielly & Jack Hufnagle, Rallyemasters

Sunday, July 12th dawned sunny and warm and we knew it would be a good Rallye day! The adventurous started gathering at Mount Vernon bright and early for coffee, donuts and fellowship. Overall, we had 5 rallye cars that toured the Mount Vernon area, stopped in at Woodlawn plantation, enjoyed some free zones down the road that Samuel Morse invented, and ended up at Lucky’s Sports Theatre and Grill for a delicious lunch afterward. The top three finishers even got Mount Vernon-themed prizes!

Congratulations to:

1st Place Cassidy & Nicole Nolen
2nd Place Rich & Rita Mars
3rd Place John Palmgren & Kara Bennis
4th Place John & Joyce Kraemer (who drove up from Richmond – again!!!)
5th Place Jerry & Irene Lelansky

We also ran a Poker Rallye, and the pot was split between John Palmgren & Kara Bennis (high hand) and Rich & Rita Mars (low hand).

Thanks to everyone that came out to run the rallye, as well as to Fred Locks & Lane and our own Prez, Stewart Fox, for coming out to join us for lunch!
