From the Home Office in Palmer…

Last time we wrote, we asked, "Are you a techie? We like gadgets and the latest devices, yet are more geek than tech!" We are back and glad to report we are making our way through the latest Wordpress upgrades and building out our website once again. To those not on Facebook (where we do post on occasion), please remember that you can keep-up with our posts there directly on our comeroadrallywith.us webpage!

Thank you to those who wrote, called, and visited with us in person over fourth quarter of 2018. There is no difference in simply turning the page on a calendar, yet we are delighted that 2018 has closed with its challenges for our RReNews Team, and we begin with a fresh sheet before us.

On November 30th, we had an earthquake here in Alaska, that got our attention! Worse were the multiple aftershocks daily, and while they have spread in the "reminders" they are still as unsettling as ever. We were overwhelmed by the care and concern many of you expressed via texts, phone calls and emails in those first few days! Thank you for your caring and concern.

We very much appreciate the support of Cascade Sports Car Club and Paul "Pablo" Eklund to share our posts and encourage readership. And with that, we apologize we had a small break in production; as volunteers too, we know you are still with us and we are grateful for that! Peter Schneider , your submitted pieces are not lost in the internet, yet will be filling the upcoming pages!

A reminder to all that while we have produced RReNews in association with the Sports Car Club of America since 2013, our efforts is to provide a community for all Road Rally on North America which SCCA has supported as it brings awareness to the sport — we search out events from independent car clubs, communities, and marque clubs!

To those of you receiving this edition as your first Road Rally eNews, welcome to our motorsports family! We are a collaborative effort — should you be a Rallymaster, please send in your information months out (as soon as you have the details 'n date), send photos 'n standings 'n post-event write-ups! Rallyists write your experiences, contribute to our There is an App for That, My First Road Rally, and be a part of this road rally community!

We hope you will checkout our in-progress website, which has survived the recent Gutenberg Wordpress update. We have been challenged with our calendar app in this migration, yet it appears we are good to go and ready for your events to be listed! Please check it out, and more importantly — please send us the dates and information about your upcoming area road rally events! The RReNews crew removed over 134 events (due to the updates with Wordpress), and while we were disheartened to see the history removed — we admit it gave us a sense of starting fresh in 2019! Later this Spring we will release a means for you to post up your events directly via Community Events. Stay tuned.

We've been blessed with temps from -2° to 19° these past few weeks. I am ready for 35° weather; it is all relative, isn't it? I am certainly enjoying the length of days increasing since the Winter Solstice. It is getting noticeable, especially on sunny days!

In closing, thank you for your time and we'll see you down the road,

Cheryl Lynn and the RReNews Team
