Duane Paige & Laurie Hunt (21070)
Arizona/Utah State Directors

As this is being read, we will have just finished up our fall southwest rallies, and we will be hunkering down for the holidays. 2022 has been a very full year with us putting more miles on our Newmar in one year than ever before. We have enjoyed every minute of it.

Besides just logging in miles to Region One rallies – we made every one for the first time ever – we also spent a fair amount of time cultivating the new Utah Pathfinders Chapter of the Newmar Kountry Klub. Working with Eric & Gayle Bruce we were able to kick their chapter life off to a healthy start with a strong charter membership and their first chapter rally in mid-October just outside Zion National Park. It was a huge success!

Just before the Pathfinders’ rally, we held the Arizona State Rally. We learned a lot about the Colorado River Indian Tribes and held a massive Luau that I’m sure was the talk of the town. As we wind down this year, we will clearly be looking forward to what we will be doing next year for an Arizona and Utah state rally. We will keep you posted as to our plans as the new year gets going.

For those of you who winter in Arizona, we have monthly luncheons in east and west Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma. Please check the Kountry Klub calendar for more information. We know that a lot of you winter in Casa Grande and Lake Havasu too so we would like to add luncheons in both of those places, but we need someone to step up to lead. It’s not a tough job; it really just consists of working with the restaurant to set up a regular reservation and keeping track of attendance. If you have an interest, please get in touch with us by phone or email.

Enjoy your autumn wherever you may be! We can be reached at email azstatedirnkk@gmail.com or cell 248-933-1405.
