What makes Country Coach Friends Incorporated different from area chapters of Country Coach?
Area Clubs rally within the specific geographical region where their club members reside for fun right in their own neighborhoods usually. CCFI rallies are held coast to coast, and we expect to rally on a larger scale as our membership continues to grow.
The goal for CCFI is to visit many new places at rallies scheduled across the United States. As a Club with a larger scope, we are fortunate to partner with businesses nationwide. Receiving generous financial support of our rallies from businesses across the country helps keep rally registration fees as low as possible without compromising on the quality of your rally experience. We love our sponsors and are most grateful for their ongoing support of our rally events.

How is Country Coach Friends Incorporated affiliated with Country Coach Corporation?
CCFI in an independent, autonomous organization, separate from Country Coach Corporation, the service center, pre-owned coach sales dealership, and parts supplier located in Junction City, OR.
Country Coach Corporation is one of our premier club sponsors. Country Coach Corporation is a good friend to all Country Coach owners clubs. CCC generously allows us to use the Country Coach company logo in our club print and electronic materials (the logo which is so prominently and proudly displayed on your Country Coach). Country Coach Corp also purchases the first year's membership in CCFI Club for its coach buyers m(as does Premier RV Services in Junction City, Platinum Coach & RV, and Foretravel of Texas.
CCFI especially appreciates that Country Coach Corporation awards a first year free membership in Family Motor Coach Association to any new member of CCFI who has not yet joined FMCA. An active membership in FMCA is a prerequisite to membership in CCFI as we are an International Area chapter of that fine organization.
*The original program of FIRST YEAR FREE MEMBERSHIP IN FMCA was earned by the late Country Coach Inc through an advertising program earned as a reward program based on total advertising dollars the manufacturer invested in advertising with in the pages of Family Motor Coaching magazine. That program of FIRST YEAR FREE IN FMCA was only possible due to amount of advertising that company committed to Family Motor Coaching in years past. With Ron Lee's purchase of all the Intellectual Property of CC, LLC and opening of Country Coach Corporation, he generously extended that gift to our CCFI members who have never been a member of FMCA. Thank you, CCC.
CCFI enjoys a great partner relationship with Country Coach Corporation and many industry businesses serving highend motorcoach owners needs nationwide.

I would like to serve as a CCFI officer? How do I volunteer for that?
Election of officers takes place every two years (or every year if a one year term is expiring) and at that time the Nominating Committee would be happy to hear from you. The officers of CCFI have a two year term limit and can only run for a third if there is no other candidate willing to run. *If you know you're ready to serve, it would be great to just drop an email here at the site on the inquiry form and let us know...there are a lot of opportunities to serve other than the elected board positions. We love volunteers!
