Richard & Donna Ritchie (16254)
Illinois State Directors

We hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays with laughter, good times, and good health. One grandson got engaged, and we may need to send out our rally schedule, cause three relatives in that age bracket are now engaged.

We’re still in Southern Texas, and just a reminder to all of you Winter Texans, we will be hosting the Newmar Luncheons at the Golden Coral in McAllen, Texas this year. Information is on the Newmar Calendar if you’re interested. Judy Swing and I are the hosts this year. As this is written, the next one is January 11, from 11:00- 1:00. Address is 1301 E Jackson Ave, McAllen, Texas.

Mark your calendars for June 4-8, in Keokuk, Iowa. Joe & Donna Delaney are having a combined chapter rally here.

Iowa/Illinois State Rally will be in Clear Lake with a Buddy Holly theme on June 9-12th. The RV Park is Oakwood RV Park (Oakwoodrvparkllc@gmail.com) phone number is 641-357-4019. They will start taking reservations  February 1. Make sure you tell them you were at the NEWMAR Rally. Again, we ask you need to register online so that will have a count and start planning. Thanks.

Region Four Rally will be in Iowa also at the Amana Colonies on July 20-24.

The International Rally will be held in Sedalia, Missouri on September 30-October 7th.

Be sure to register for all of these! We hope to see you there.

We’re looking forward to the Newmar Luncheons in McAllen, Texas for all the Winter Texans. The first one was in December, and when we get an update, we’ll share that too.

Enjoy the holidays! Take care and stay healthy and happy. We can be reached at either 847-804-4274 or reritchie@comcast.net.
