VP Communications Update – Jul/Aug 2025

Hello All.  It’s been an exciting couple of months!  After being on the road for 7 weeks, Nanette & I made a quick trip to Kentucky to look at a new-to-us coach.  We went in the truck and stayed in a hotel… we are definitely not used to humping our luggage around anymore 😬.  Well, unfortunately, the coach shopping was a bust, but we made the most of our 2 days there.  Two, yes 2, trips to the Buffalo Trace Distillery and of course, a stop at Rebecca Ruth Chocolates.  If you’re not familiar with Rebecca Ruth – it is family owned & operated and has been handcrafting gourmet chocolates since 1919.  AND they are the Inventors of the Bourbon Ball.  If you go, the tour was very interesting.  Then among their other fine assortments, ask for the Boo-Boo bags!  They are all good, no matter which ones you pick!

 

On to Dogwood business.  

 

I last distributed our Membership Directory a couple months ago, so the latest version is June 19^th.  I’ve made a few updates and getting ready to send out a new version.  Please let me know if you have any updates or corrections for me to make.

 

I started making changes to the Blog and some of our documents to reflect the change from FMCA to FRVA.  It is slow going, as expected.  If you see something you think should be updated, please share with me so we can take a look at it.

 

We’ve been busy posting articles to the Blog and sending out emails to give you all the latest chapter news.  I have a couple more articles in the works for after the newsletter and we have a couple rallies coming up on the calendar, so I’m looking forward to posting the rally summaries for those!  Stay on top of all the latest information - Visit often and stay up to date here on the Blog Site!

 

As always, please share your travels and adventures – I’d love to share your stories with the chapter!  

 

Looking forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming rallies.
