Dave, you are totally correct. There is no Southeast Regional Club or any other regional club within the MOC. The 'southeast Region' is simply a geographical description that describes a certain section of the US so that people living in or traveling through that area can see if people are getting together in that area. There are very few official rallies for the MOC, primarily Goshen in the fall and California in the spring. Other get-togethers (described as mini-rallies by some) are just started by people who find themselves in one place at the same time. Some of these are planned and some just happen because MOCs cross paths with one another.
The mini-rally in Elko, Georgia, is also an unofficial rally. I started that gathering because some interest was mentioned on the forum. Anyone can do it. We didn't do any Montana stuff at this rally, just ate and played Mexican Train and ate and ate.... We had plenty of free time to explore the area, too. Some people came for the weekend, others stayed a little longer. No rules or regulations or fee. Just camping together in one spot on the same weekend. A 'family' gathering.
I did check with Administration to see if this was permitted before posting it to the forum.
This very unofficial mini-rally was started because someone mentioned a nice campground. From there it grew to a group who decided meeting in this nice campground in the fall sounded like a nice idea. It's like new friends and old friends planning a vacation together. Anyone can start such a gathering. We have an open invitation to anyone who wants to join us because we love to meet other MOCers.
