Phil & Charlene Budd (9488L)
Tennessee State Directors
Well folks this will be Charlene’s and my final State of Tennessee Legacy article as the baton passes on to our chosen replacement who will do a fantastic job as the New Tennessee State Directors. We are excited for them.
Some of you are wondering what our plans are. Well, first, we are praying to get our coach back in our “Bus Barn” here on the farm. The coach received “MAJOR” damage on June 20th while being towed out of our driveway in route to Nashville to figure out why it would not start. We are close (our fingers are crossed) to getting it back home soon, but as you know we missed Sedalia and the Outer Banks and that was difficult for us having to miss our annual visits with friends.
We want to thank so many people. But once one starts naming names, one fails and misses one person. So…we want to thank everyone who has touched our lives, not only NKK members in all 9 Regions, but all the leadership of all 9 Regions we have worked with since the beginning. Also, the Newmar leadership at Newmar Corp, the Tech’s who built, and have worked on our coach over these 24 years.
Thank you to the six International Directors, four Members-at-Large, the six Region Five Directors, two interim Tennessee State Directors (2006-2013) and the truly wonderful Tennessee State Volunteer Kruiser Chapter 72 Officers, and members that have supported Charlene and me these many years.
Finally, in our acknowledgements of so many friends, Charlene & I want to thank the ladies that make NKK run so smoothly; the ladies we have interfaced with for 24 years in the office of the Newmar Kountry Klub Office.
We have been truly Blessed. THANK YOU ALL!
Now reach out to your spouses and family members, and give them a hug, a kiss, and tell them you love them. Life is truly short. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
