I want to thank everyone for coming to this year's DIXIE.  I hope everyone had as good a time as I did.  We had 124 that actually attended the Rally.  We had 26 Chapters from 8 states in the Dixie Confederation of Southern States.  We also had 5 visiting Chapters from the Eastern and Central Regions.  Friday night was a great meet and greet for all who attended.  Saturday morning was a very informational business meeting and then a once in a lifetime lunch on the Battleship North Carolina mess deck. We had our first DIXIE wedding, on the fantail.  Congrats Dale and Denise Smith!  Saturday night was a dinner and social.  The food was amazing, and the fellowship was even better.  We had a good auction and made enough money to donate back to the DIXIE account.  The free limo ride back to the hotel just topped off the evening for those that took advantage of it.  The night ended late at the hotel pool with more fellowship and laughter.  I want to again thank all who attended this year and I look forward to seeing all of you in New Orleans in 2010.
