President’s Report:
Steve called Vicki White to report on the Holiday party. She said there had been some talk about getting another place for the Christmas party so she called Catta Verdera and booked Thursday, December 10 for this year’s party. It will be a buffet.
In her discussion about the Spring Fling, she said she and Coleman would be gone until mid-June. Steve asked the members if they wanted it in May or June, and June won the vote. Sharon and Marlowe volunteered to help Vicki plan the party in the Pavilion in mid-June.

Bill Bisson gave an excellent talk on the Wagon Master Guidelines. He said there are 69 rigs in the club so we should be able to get a wagon master. Each RV Park needs to have a club representative to talk to. There are different park requirements. The wagon master collects the money, applications, and on the rally, you can do as much or as little as you want.
Steve asked someone to volunteer to be wagon master for Bodega Bay. Nobody volunteered. He said if you want to go, find the others who are going and talk among yourselves who can be wagon master with a co-wagon master. Otherwise the trip will be cancelled.
Cara Roberts said wagon masters had volunteered for Likely, Ashland and Plymouth. She had volunteered for two on them.
Of the several new members who signed up to go to Bodega Bay in March, none had experience being wagon master.
Celebrations: Eric Roberts and Steve celebrated birthdays on January 25; Marlowe on January 4. Dean and Betty Schumacher celebrated their 38th anniversary.
To answer the question about how long we can park our RVs in front of our houses – it is 48 hours, not 72 or three days.
Thought for the Day: If you’ve never been a Wagon Master, volunteer anyway. Experienced members will come alongside you to assist with any questions or concerns and help you have a wonderful Rally.
The next meeting date is February 13, 2020.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Marggi Holtze, Secretary
