Good evening all,

 

It's been awhile since I sent out the save the date notice for the Poconos Raceway Rally.  Information on the Rally scheduled for October can be found on the Penn Coachmen website October Rally (penncoachmen.org).

 

The rally is scheduled for Oct 15-17 with "early bird" arrivals on 13 & 14 so there is time for seeing the local sights.  There are 100+ sites for this rally with FHUs. All are back in sites and are very level. Special rate for this rally of $40/night. Folks need to call the Raceway and make their own reservations and need to identify themselves as being part of the Penn Coachmen group.  I've invited all the northern region chapters plus the Dogwood and Niagara Frontier Chapters to join in the fun.   Friday evening's welcome meal is being sponsored by the Poconos Mountain Visitor's Bureau.  Updated information will be put on the Penn Coachmen website and I'm happy to answer any questions.

 

FMCA has continued the special discount rate for new members and renewals https://join.fmca.com/join60-b/ and https://join.fmca.com/renew50/. The issue of FMCA dues will be addressed at the Governing Board Meeting in Gillette.  It's a great time to recruit new members!

 

It's not too soon to think about GEAR "Almost Heaven West Virginia" in Lewisburg W.V.  Registration is now open on the FMCA website.

 

Safe travels,

 Phyllis
