Roy and Annie have been working on a Lunch in Florida. Below is their latest.
Annie and I went to the Golden Corral today and asked the manager for the back room for our Motorhome group on Feb 6 at 1:00. He would like us to come back in Jan and remind him and we will. Everyone there are wearing masks and you have to use a paper napkin to use there utensils. They are all available and clearly marked. We told him approximately 4o people would be attending. Safe travels to you and Sharon.

We don't try to spent too much time on editorials, but ---
FMCA international rally fee has been announced at $225. IF NEAR costs over $300, I can't help but be concerned.

October 11 was our October get together, and we headed for Peppermint’s Restaurant in Avon, NY. 20 of us showed up and many spent two hours talking about the summer and planning for the winter. Nick started us off with a prayer.
National
Director, Patty Pritchard described some happenings in the Northeast
Area and the National FMCA.

She
presented a slate of candidates for the FMCA nominating committee. We voted and
elected Jim Duncan from the southeast area.

Chubb
Insurance replaced Seven Corners for FMCA Assist Oct 1st. This enables over
$300,000 in savings to FMCA and the organizational budget is now a surplus.
·
Rally’s
are planned for Perry, GA and Gillette, WY. Patty plans to attend both. She
encourages everyone to write Jon Walker to drop the FMCA dues from $75. This
will be voted by the governing board during the July, 2021 Rally.

Right
now, NEAR 2021 will probably cost over $300.
FMCA is upgrading its computer system which means we may not be able to update rosters, officers or access information.
Attention FMCA Members
Beginning October 1, 2020, FMCA will be migrating to a new internal database. During this time we will not be able to process any transactions or update any member records. Should you need information or have questions about member benefits, the website will still be available, along with FMCA representatives if you prefer to call. The system could be down until October 15, 2020, but we are hopeful we will be back up and running sooner. We thank you for your patience and will continue to provide updates as best we can during this time.We made a reservation at the Peppermint Restaurant in Avon; Sunday, October 11th shortly after 12:00.
September was a chance for officers to show they are not just a bunch of pretty faces as they presented five meals, camp fires and a little fun for the weekend. We couldn’t find a restaurant for dinner. So, we did it ourselves. We followed CDC guidelines hoping to keep everyone healthy. It’s a learning process, but we want to do what’s right.
You helped us to do better and get used to this. We did everything for $7.11 per person. Nice job everyone.
Thank you, Annie,
Dave and Cheryl for volunteering for the 2021 nominating committee. They
presented a slate of candidates during the rally. All officers are planning to
stay next year, including Harold.
Without wagon masters, we don’t need officers. You came forward to fill all rallies for 2021. Thank you for volunteering.
Remember, the chapter has many supplies you can use for a rally – Coffee pots, cups, sweetener, cream, sanitizing items, TENT and more. Ask and you may be surprised.
