We have the Mississippi Rally in our rearview mirror and it was a wonderful time! The attendees reached in their wallets and raised over $5,000 for the kids at St Judes Children’s Hospital too. That brings total charitable giving for CCFI to date to over $155,300 in total!
Exciting news is a Friendship Rally rally location change to Junction City, Oregon! (See registration form in this issue!) The rally dates are Aug 4th - 9th. We will be having great meals by a local favorite caterer, two nights of entertainment and of course the rally charity auction (also the Scandinavian Festival will be going on starting on the 8th. This festival is nationally known and such a fun Norwegian themed event.). The end of August a great Balloon Festival happens just up the road from rally site too in Albany. So much to do and see in Oregon. Come home to Oregon for this annual Country Coach Friends Friendship Rally! You can get signed up here online or with the registration form enclosed in the June enews issue.
We have great thankfulness for all who volunteer for this club in various roles including those who stood for election to our board of directors. Jerry OConnor has recently decided to take a well deserved break after literally decades of service to enhance all of our club experiences dating far back in time before CCFI’s inception. There aren’t words adequate to describe the dynamo he has been for this club. Thank you both, Jerry and Sherry. We look forward to continuing to enjoy this mobile lifestyle with you for years to come. Friends4Life! So many volunteers roll their sleeves up and pitch in at a rally doing everything that needs done to keep it all flowing smoothly. The business sponsors are perhaps among the most faithful we’ve ever been associated with—in any club we’ve been involved with. We highlight a few Junction City Oregon ones in this issue. Business sponsors are the best of the best in the entire nation and the care and attention they give to each of our individual motorhomes is beyond measure. These are the folks you see within our monthly enewsletter, as well as many other partners who offer discounts on services and stays and parts across this nation. Call any board member if you need a recommendation for a service center in the area in which you are traveling. We’ll recommend the club sponsor in your locale and you’ll know you’re taking your coach to a service facility who really does know how to service these amazing vehicles. For those in Arizona, Olstrom Custom Coach contacted us with a special summer discount offer which you’ll find in this issue.
June is invoice renewals month. Jim Elder emailed out our invoices for renewal payment and you can also renew online. Thank you for being among the most loyal club members in the nation. We are a very special community of travelers and rally enthusiasts. Each and every one of you make this club all that it is.
The CCFI board members are planning for what’s next (like our Spring Rally in the planning stages at Tucson AZ. We should have dates finalized for that soon).
See you soon in the Pacific Northwest! Oregon is one of my very favorite states to spend time in.
Safe travels, John & Juanita
