VII. VICE PRESIDENT REPORT (Cara Roberts/Roy Deeble):
PROJECTED RALLIES FOR 2023 (see attachment): Roy and Cara reviewed the upcoming rallies for 2023. The attachment shows the rallies for this year. Wagon masters and assistant Wagon masters are needed. Roy encouraged members to become involved. He noted that the Wagon masters volunteering so far are all board members and all members are encouraged to join in and participate with the rallies. There is ample support from experienced Wagon masters to help new Wagon masters. Often, a new Wagon master is paired with an assistant Wagon master who has previous experience (or vice versa). Roy also advised the group it is important to sign up for the rallies as some of the reservations require a minimum number of sign ups. Please contact Roy or Cara to sign up as a Wagon master or assistant.

H. Jackson Rancheria – Roy noted he just added this to the schedule but it is not booked yet. He will follow up to see if dates are available but it may be too late to book as it is a very popular destination.
I. November 12 -17th: Newport Dunes RV Resort at Newport Beach. This a nice older park that Roy has stayed at many times. The spaces assigned to our group are 25’ x 40’ so if your rig is approaching the maximum length, you will need to get an alternate longer space within the park. A minimum of 15 rigs is required to secure this reservation.
IX. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
- Revised By-Laws Update (Sharon Skar): Sharon reported that the Bylaws needed to be submitted to the Sun City Board of Directors for approval. The By-laws have been approved by the Clubs & Organizations Committee, now need to be approved by the Board of Directors. When finalized, these will be posted on the website.
X. NEW BUSINESS – Mary Romo mentioned that the next CPR class is already full. She suggested that members periodically check the online schedule, usually mid-month is ideal, to see when new sessions are scheduled. The Sun City Foundation is off-setting the cost of the class so now it is only $15 per class.
XI. OPEN COMMENTS – A request was made for veterinarians in the area, and several suggestions were offered.
Cara Roberts gave a presentation of a plug in wall heater that they use in their RV. It is small and keeps their RV quite warm. You can move it from one part of your RV to another. They are available on Amazon for a reasonable price. You can also use it at your home to warm up a room.
XII. ADJOURNMENT – A motion was made by Vicki White, seconded by Terri Stubblefield, to adjourn the meeting at 5:20.
