Marv & Von Visser (22141)
Michigan State Directors

We are looking forward to the 2023 camping season. We enjoyed two weeks in Florida in January, one week at a resort, and one week at the Tampa SuperShow. We had a great trip and as always, our Florida hosts the Smiths and the Harrops did a great job. We also want to thank all of the other volunteers who make the Tampa Show work. It’s always amazing to watch how well the parking volunteers get everyone parked so well; it’s a great team effort. Then of course we can’t forget the Newmar techs and the great job they did for all of the Newmar owners, and of course Newmar for bringing them to Florida to do their work. What great support and customer service they give us. It’s why we own Newmar coaches.

On a personal note, when we were in Florida, we had new countertops and backsplash installed. It turned out great. While Von was putting things away in the cupboards she fell in the kitchen and broke her humerus bone on her right arm. Thankfully she’s left handed and that helps some. She is not doing surgery and the healing process is going to be 6-8 weeks, then some PT. So, from the date of the fall she should be almost recovered in April and good to go for the camping season. She says that I (Marv) have been taking really good care of her waiting on her hand and foot. (On a personal note, I will never be able to wait on her enough for all the time she has waited on me.) Then, our church family, friends and kids have been amazing bringing in meals and visits, calls showing concerns and prayers for healing. We are truly blessed.

Our first rally will be May 3-7 Region Six Rally in West Virginia. Then a Tri-State Rally hosted by Michigan at Shipshewana, Indiana on the Memorial Day weekend. Our State Rally will be August 9-13 at the KOA Detroit Ann Arbor in Ypsilanti, Michigan. We are still making plans and our rally fee will be out soon.

Happy trails be safe in all your travels.
