Rajah News - December '21

Although the year had a
difficult beginning with the virus
still hanging on and many events
being cancelled, things picked
up and Rajah was in full action
mode by spring. The Tin Lizzies
followed that pattern.
Our pie bakes had a late
start but we were underway by
late Februrary. Illustrious Sir
Sam Ellis
Kraig Leiby attended our first
bake operating the pie press like a pro. Our parade season
began on Memorial Day in Mahanoy City. We gave the
Easton High School Special Needs students a Pizza Party
on June 6. The kids have been labeling our pie boxes now
for going on three years.

Our Annual Clam
Bake took place at
Bady’s Grove on July 10th. MASA was a gas with three Past Potentates driving Tin Lizzie cars
in the parade. We gained three new members from that event also. Welcome Nobles Donald
Heimbecker, Dale Reinert and Dennis Guignet.
Our serious parade season began at Temple in early October with fifteen parades following. A
highlight was our winning the Best Non-Profit Unit in the Easton-Phillipsburg Halloween Parade.
Our Christmas Banquet & Ladies Night will take place on December 11, at the Barn House
Village in Bath, PA.
On a sad note, we lost an original Tin Lizzie recently. Ron Barron had served in all the club
officer positions and was a founding club member. He was one of the most active and dedicated
members, participating in all our events including parades, pie bakes and sales, National Night
Out and Rajah Membership events. He will be missed.
As this is our last article for 2021, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy
New Year.
CARAVANERS
The summer camping season has come to an end, although there are a select few who enjoy winter
camping as well especially the “snow birds” who travel south. The rest of us are tasked with winterizing
our units and putting them in storage until next year.
Caravaners, once again, enjoyed the final campout at the Oasis accompanied by the National Camping
Travelers, Inc. (NCT) campers. The weather not entirely accommodating, but we were able to squeeze out
a campfire and a joint meal with the NCT members. That is always enjoyable.
We held our final meeting for the year and elected our officers for next year. Most of last year’s officers
were re-elected. The exception was our new VP Noble Barry Voigt and newest trustee Noble Carl Willis.
Thank you and best wishes to our Potentate, Ill. Sir Kraig Leiby. And we welcome our new Potentate,
whoever that may be??? We anxiously await the results of the election.
We know it is not the season to be thinking about camping, but it is never too early to plan for a fun filled summer. The
Caravaners are contemplating a tour of New England, with several multi-night stops along the journey. If you do not own your
own rig, you can always rent and join the entourage.
Until next season, be safe, be healthy and be a happy camper. And camp on!
