Susan finished her report by saying she will be sending out a survey using  “Survey Monkey” about the rallies you may be interested in. She mentioned places like Palm Desert, Ashland, OR, or Desert Hot Springs. Or any new place you would like to go.

Steve asked for a volunteer to help Susan with her big job to be Assistant Vice President, because planning all the rallies for 2020 will be a big job.

Jayne Clark said she will no longer be historian and had all the former year’s scrapbooks available. Linda Fagan will be the new Historian but was not at the meeting. There is a list of every place the RV club has gone.

Steve said Ricki will put all the photos of rallies on the website. He said he hoped to have a screen to show the photos so we can see photos of rigs and places to go on a big screen in the future. The website works well.

Steve told about how he volunteered to be wagon master, not knowing much about it, but many people helped them.

Steve thanked Sheryl for helping word a new application. He reminded us we have an AED unit for use on each trip.

 

 

Steve asked who had birthdays in January and Jim Clark had a birthday January 27, Steve in January 25 and Marlowe’s was January 4.

Dean and Betty Schumacher celebrated their 36th anniversary.

Steve asked if any planned to buy a new rig and since three couples raised their hands, he offered to loan them an RV comparison guide book.

Steve said he hopes to have an education part to the meetings, perhaps during the meal. Marggi said Dennis Malone could answer mechanical questions.  As part of the education, members could submit a “Question of the Month”.

Meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Marggi Holtze, Secretary
