All of the Loon officers attended the Newmar Kountry Klub’s International Rally in Sedalia, Missouri the first week of October. This year there were sessions on chapter organization, planning rallies and growing your chapter. The sessions were informative and gave us some ideas to help us enhance our chapter.
Our next rally will be in the spring, May 13-16, at the St. Cloud Campground & RV Park. We are planning on a trip to the Charles Lindbergh Aviation Museum in Little Falls, a local Museum tour, two breakfasts, snacks, pizza supper and a dinner sponsored by Steinbring Motor Coach as well as a new coach on display. There will be time for games and socializing on the itinerary. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending and encourage a friend to come as well. When we get all the details completed, a mailing will be sent out and published on the Newmar Kountry Klub website (Region Four – events). Rally fee will be $35.00 per person for meals and activities – camping fees are additional with registration and payment directly to the St. Cloud campground.
During the spring rally we will be having a meeting and are planning on some roundtable discussion looking for ideas to help grow the chapter and better serve our members.
On a personal level we had a great season, starting with a trip to Orange Beach, then St. Cloud for the spring rally, Calgary on the NKK special event, Prior Lake for the State Rally, then finished up at the International Rally and the Branson NKK special event. 9000 miles, great miles, no issues other than a truck threw some rocks up on the trip to Calgary requiring us to get new windshield. Coach is tucked away till spring and the Washington DC NKK trip. Can’t wait. We have made a lot of good friends on the special events and encourage all to take part.
