Washington State Directors

Greetings everyone, hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving and are experiencing a wonderful Christmas season.

In October we spent several weeks on the Oregon coast. The weather was outstanding, and we enjoyed spending time with several of our Newmar friends in Coos Bay. While there we were able to spend a day out on a charter boat fishing and crabbing. We now have a freezer full of fish and our bellies were filled with crab at our crab feed. In November we put the New Aire into storage. Time to stay home, hunker down and enjoy the winter storms that blow through the northwest.

Summer stayed much longer than expected this year, which made up for not having a spring season at all. Autumn rains finally arrived in late October. Our Thanksgiving was filled with the blessings of having been with family and as always too much food. We are looking forward to Christmas and being together once again.

We are now in planning mode for the Washington State Rally for early September 2023 in the Spokane area. We’ll keep it early in the month so that those planning to attend the International Rally in Missouri will have plenty of time to travel following the rally. We know there are plenty of NKK members in Oregon and Idaho and we want to extend a big welcome to our Washington State rally in September, and the Evergreen Aires rally in June to everyone. We hope to see you there.

Blessings for wonderful holidays. We can be reached at newmarwastatedirector@gmail.com.
