It has always been the goal of the HOC to have each state and province in North America have their own Chapter. We have not always been able to recruit Chapter Leaders and this led to the practice of having a leaderless state default to a Chapter in an adjacent state.
This has been the situation with Mississippi and Alabama since the beginning. The first Chapter Leaders were Hogan and Donna Cooper. As they reside in Mississippi, the Chapter was the Mississippi Chapter with Alabama defaulting to the Mississippi Chapter. When the Coopers retired, Bill and Susan Mealer became Chapter Leaders and because they resided in Alabama the Chapter was the Alabama Chapter with Mississippi defaulting to the Alabama Chapter.
Now the Mealers are retiring and we are fortunate that 2 couples have accepted the role of chapter leaders. At long last, Alabama and Mississippi have their own Chapter Leaders. This is beneficial to both the Chapters and HOC membership because now the members will have the opportunity to attend 2 (or potentially 4) Chapter Rallies per year in these beautiful states. This means one more rally with your HOC friends, both old and new.
Congratulations and thank you, Paul and Sheila Blackford (usnaviator) for volunteering to be the Chapter Leaders for the Alabama Chapter in the Southeast Region of the Heartland Owners Club.
Paul and Sheila are taking over from Bill and Susan Mealer, who are retiring. Thank you, Bill and Susan, for all you have done for the Heartland Owners Club and the Alabama Chapter.
The Alabama Chapter includes the entire state of Alabama. Any Heartland Owners Club member may choose Alabama as their Club Chapter if they feel it would be more convenient for them than their current Club Chapter.

Everyone, please join me in welcoming, your new Alabama Chapter Leaders, Paul and Sheila!
