Colorado State Directors/Chapter Presidents
We are currently in Missouri and making our way back home from visiting Michigan, Nappanee, and an added on rally down in Bardstown Kentucky, hosted by the Kentucky State Directors. Cara Sue & Steve Kraus did a great job making us feel welcome and we had such fun visiting an area of the country we had never explored. This is what is so fun about checking out all the rallies and event offerings on the NKK website! There is something for everyone offered in every corner of our great country. You will find some type of event that fits right into your travel schedule, and you will have the opportunity to visit a new location filled with surprises in all directions. Meeting new folks and reconnecting with other like-minded Newmarians is the recipe for having a grand adventure.
Our Colorado State Rally is in the books and thank you to all who attended in making this event wonderfully successful! We believe everyone enjoyed their time in Granby. We had a few weather challenges and a few unexpected schedule changes, but everything turned out well. A few of our attendees were rewarded with wildlife sightings and even some bugling of the elk in their rut inside of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was such a treat! We had 17 coaches in attendance and the rally ended with a musical production tribute to Tony Bennett performed at the Grand Lake Repertory Theater. Another highlight was a pontoon boat ride out on Lake Granby. Several of our attendees had the opportunity to enjoy a memorable luncheon in the beautiful Grand Lake Lodge. Thank you to Jim & Liz Eliassen who organized that event. Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains is indeed a beautiful resort surrounded by the beauty of our Colorado mountains. 
We are still working out details for activities at our next two rallies. The first one will be our Colorado Kruisin Aires chapter rally in Fort Collins, Colorado, at the KOA Lakeside and arrival will be May 20, with a departure of May 23. The Colorado State Rally will be in Creede, Colorado from September 7th-11th. Please check the NKK event calendar for details on both events. If you are a Kruisin Aires member, you will receive an email announcing both of our rallies about a week before the official registration begins for the general membership. We would love to see your smiling faces at one, or both, or these rallies. We are trying hard to work on the details for both events so that we can keep you informed.
First thing to do is check out the NKK website event calendar and search for all the events that would be of interest to you. Then, we’ll be so happy to have you attend one of our events and will love to include you in our plans.
