Hopefully, everyone has survived winter and are ready to get out and enjoy the outdoors again. On January 4, I was in Nappanee getting Jeanne’s Christmas present installed in the coach. She decided that she wanted a dishwasher installed. I must say that it is one of the best additions that we have done to the coach. Yes, I lost my job as a dishwasher but I’m still in charge of all the remotes! This was my first trip to Nappanee in the winter and I don’t plan on returning for another wintertime trip anytime soon. I was met with snow, ice and the power was out. I had to rough it for a couple of hours until the power came back on. Newmar service was fantastic as usual.
We then set out for sunny Florida for the rest of January. While at Port St. Lucie Motorcoach Resort, we made an unexpected purchase…yep, we bought a lot at the resort. We’ve stayed there several times over the past several years and are looking forward to wintering there in the future.
We made our reservations for the Region Six Rally in May, Geneva on the Lake in June, and the International in July. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the rallies.
I want to thank our chapter members for stepping up and volunteering for the International. All who volunteered will be utilized at the rally. Our Region Directors are busy working on assignments.
Our chapter continues to grow. We have added several new members since the first of the year and have several others that have expressed interest in joining our chapter in the near future. If you know someone with a Newmar, invite them to join us at a rally to see what we are about. We certainly don’t want to keep all the fun to ourselves, do we?
Our State Directors and I have been exploring the creation of a second Ohio chapter. As we get our plan formulated, we might be asking for members’ assistance to help us in forming the new chapter. Our goal is to have the chapters complement each other and work together for even more fun times.
That’s all for now. Hope to see you down the road! I can be reached at: rgfox09@gmail.com or 513-617-8914.
