We had a wonderful Fall Rally. Two of our chapter members won prizes for Best Dressed According to Theme in The Individual Category. I took my camera with me. I finished one roll and started another. Hopefully, my pictures will turn out nicely.

Hi Ciecie,
Glad to see you posting again. We had our fall rally today too, and it was great. Very inspiring.

So was ours! We were very pleased to see A LOT MORE MEN AND TEENS THERE! Two of us discussed very briefly an idea on how to spread the word to the teens in our community about TOPS. One of our members is a substitute teacher at school. When she's called up there, she's going to post flyers in the library and health/nurses office. I also suggested that she post them in or near the locker rooms.

Fall Rally sounds so fun!
I think my chapter is going this weekend or the next.
I really wish I could go but being new I didnt think it would be right to volunteer. But maybe next year!

Go ahead and go! One of the chapters there had a member who had joined just a month ago there.

Skipper, go to the rally! Ours was fun and inspiring. It doesn't matter if you are new TOPS or not. I think that everyone should go.

Sounds like you had a great rally. Ours is next month. I can't seem to get my group to go. Three of us are going and we will be helping with registration. The rally's are for everyone. I always enjoy them and you get to meet people from other chapters. It is a fun time for all

I always enjoy them, too!

Rally's are one of the best things new members can treat themselves to. Please go!!! In fact, some members bring guests that have been thinking about joining TOPS and they end up doing so because they have experienced a fun, inspiring time.

EVERYONE can go to the fall rally's and workshops in the spring. Not just 'officers' or 'older' members. Newbies can be the new lifeblood of a chapter.

Again, I sincerely hope you attend.....and enjoy yourself!!!

Also, at our rally's we have 'surprised' the newest TOPS member with a small gift. Your rally might too..........another incentive!!

I totally agree!
