Greetings Dogwood family from your new Vice President of Membership. I look forward to working with all of you on recruiting and retaining new members for our chapter.
In my first article in our newsletter, I would like to discuss one of the ways we can recruit new members, and that is at FMCA and Area Rally Chapter Fairs. At the chapter fairs, any chapter present at the rally can set up a booth, basically a table. It can be as basic as putting your chapter name on the table, to a more extensive display. In past years, we have set up a beautiful display and have won an award for the past 3 years in addition to gaining new members.

| Chapter Fair at GEAR 2023 |
At the upcoming FMCA rally in March at Perry, GA, Dell and Terry Tenney will be setting up a booth for Dogwood. The chapter fair is Tuesday afternoon, March 11th, immediately following the Newcomers Orientation. There will be hundreds of newcomers visiting the booths and this is a great opportunity to visit with prospective new members, pass out Dogwood fliers and share information about our great chapter. "Working the crowd" so to speak.
So if you are attending the Perry rally and will be there by Tuesday afternoon, please contact Dell at 240 298-5553 and offer your assistance at the chapter fair. The more members that we have at the fair, the better chance we have of attracting new members. And be sure to wear your Dogwood shirt if you have one. It is a fun time and a great opportunity to support Dogwood and meet new friends. Come on out.
Note that our current membership is 59 member families.
Until next time, have fun and safe travels.
Regards,
Jim Buelow, VP Membership
FMCA Dogwood Chapter
