Florida Manatees – President

Geoff & I recently returned from a great adventure. We rented a RV (Super Class B) in England and toured the British Isles. October can bring a lot of different weather in the UK, but we packed well and had nearly everything we needed. From the windy Isle of Sky to the brilliant rainbows in Ireland, to the Welsh countryside and bustling London, it was a thoroughly enchanting trip. We missed our Newmar Mountain Aire, but it was a great experience living in a class B+ after 10 years in our Mountain Aire!

After a side-trip to Spain to visit friends, we returned with a 24-hour turnaround to hit the road for our Florida Manatees Rally and chapter annual meeting at Paradise Oaks RV Resort in Bushnell, Florida. Our Rally Hosts, the Hartley’s and the Meadows’, were amazing! We had a fun pumpkin decorating contest and a fabulous airboat ride on Lake Panasoffkee. At our Annual Meeting we voted to adopt a Manatee, so stay tuned for details on that program.

We also attended the Central Florida NKK Luncheon hosted by the Florida Sea Turtles in Lakeland.

Stay tuned to the NKK website for NKK luncheons coming up in Central Florida in the 1st Quarter, 2023. The Florida Manatees have the following rallies scheduled for the spring:
March 9-12, at Island Oaks RV Resort in Glen St Mary, Florida
April 1-4, at Wekiva River RV Resort in Sorrento, Florida

All NKK members are welcome to join us if you will be in Florida. Check out the Newmar Kountry Klub website for registration and details. By the time you read this we hope that you will have joined us at Camp Newmar for the Tampa SuperShow in January. Safe travels to you all and let us hear from you if you are in Florida!
