Fulltimers – Presidents
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ~ Douglas Adams
We are writing this article as we make preparations to cross the Canadian border to attend the Newmar Calgary Stampede Rally. Who thought there were so many details to take into consideration when taking your home with you. What can you take (or not take). What needs to be declared and what must be declared when you come back across to the US. We certainly are happy that the Covid years are behind us.
It won’t be long now until our big event of the year, the NKK Fulltimers Rally and Annual Business Meeting. It will be held in Hannibal, Missouri at the beautiful Mark Twain Cave Campground, September 24th-29th, the week before International. We do have 2 openings available if anyone wants to join us. Contact president.nkkfulltimers@gmail.com if interested.
We will have 47 coaches caravanning to the International Rally in Sedalia. Once again, this year at International, the Fulltimers Chapter will be hosting the ever-popular lemonade and popcorn station. We are planning to present several informational seminars to share our collective knowledge. Impromptu get-togethers and a chapter social will also take place.
Registration opened on June 27th for our Third Annual Holly Jolly Rally to be held in St. Augustine, Florida December 10th-14th at the St. Augustine RV Resort. Get into the holiday spirit with the Fulltimers Chapter. Three (3) breakfasts are planned along with a welcome dinner, a meal at Harry’s Restaurant, a pizza party, and the farewell dinner at the Columbia restaurant.
We will tour the Castillo De San Marco Fort, the Pirate and Treasure Museum to meet Captain Mayhem, and you will have free time to explore other historic sites of interest.
We anticipate that all 30 spaces have been taken; however, we will maintain a waitlist for the event. Contact president.nkkfulltimers@gmail.com to inquire about the status.
We are aggressively pursuing a location for our Fulltimers Rally and Annual Business Meeting to be held in 2024 from July 9th-12th, 2024. Needless to say, this is in the prime season for the upper Midwest and also overlaps the July 4th holiday weekend. As we write this article, we think we have a location in Ludington, Michigan that will work with us and by the time this is published, we will have completed the registration process.
