Presidents Message

Welcome Back to the lovely BC weather to all you lucky members who spent the winter in the sun! I just wanted to update you on plans for the May rally and the August Redmond rally. I will have more information for you on the August rally upon our return from the final planning meeting in April.

For all who have signed up to be volunteers, thank you in advance and we still have room for more!!! Just email me at akcbalogh@telus.net as soon as possible, as we will be leaving on April 12th for Oregon.

Membership fees can be paid at the first rally in May at Sandown to Sandy. Please don't mail them in from now on, as both Stella and I will be away for all of April.

Remember at the May rally, we will be holding elections for President, Vice President, National Director and 1 Director position.

See you all at Sandown for the May 25-27 rally. It is always a GREAT time!!! You will be getting more information on the rally soon from Joan and Wayne Hardy, our hosts!!

Thanks! Andy

Message from the President

Hello everyone! (See Past Post: Dues or Due)

Andy has asked me to contact everyone regarding the FMCA Rally in Redmond,
Oregon, in mid August.

As of today, the following people (along with Joe & I and Andy & Kathie)
have volunteered to operate the Handicap & Activity Golf Cart Service at the
Rally, driving people to and from venues:


Bruce & Joan Morin

Wayne & Joan Hardie,
Drew & Sherry Ralph
Reg & Dorene Gustafson
Cary & Merrilee White
Cec & Karin Hamilton
Bob & Jan Orr
Russ & Carol McAvella
Vern & Audrey Hauge
Ian & Sandy Tarves
Dick & Marion Lutener
Dick & Jo Padget
Wayne & Sandy Quesnel

Would the above people please reconfirm that you will be coming to the Rally
(please contact Andy at akcbalogh@telus.net). If there are any other people
who would like to join our "Bumper Car Brigade" please contact Andy BEFORE
March 24th. Andy will be going to Redmond at the beginning of April to
attend a planning meeting and he needs to know FOR SURE how many volunteers
are coming to the Rally. As a reminder, if you plan to attend the Rally,
please DO NOT send in your registration until Andy finds out how we go about
registering as a group. As volunteers at this Rally, we will also be
parking together in the "Volunteer Section" which is close to the main fair
grounds. Volunteers will have to be in Redmond by August 10th and leave
August 17th.

Do-Si-Do and DUES are Due.

It's that time of year again - time to pay your Dues!
Many of you have already paid your dues for 2007, but if you have not paid
them, please send your $10.00 cheque (made payable to Vancouver Islanders)
to me at 3382 Hatley Drive, Victoria, B.C. V9C 1W3 as our Treasurer, Sandy,
is away. Remember, dues must be paid by the first Rally of the year.

Cheers!

Stella Blogg,
Secretary,
Vancouver Islanders

NOTE - NOTE - NOTE

From: Secretary, Stella Blogg

Hello everyone!

President Andy has requested that I contact everyone regarding a couple of
items:

First, if anyone reads the "Motor Home" Magazine, recent issues have
featured a full page ad for "The Rally - All Roads Lead to Redmond", July
19 - 22, 2007. Please note this is NOT the FMCA International Rally but
one hosted by the Good Sam Club. The FMCA International Rally will be held
August 13 - 17, 2007.

Secondly, if you are planning to attend the Rally in August, Andy has
requested that you DO NOT send in your registration forms until he hears
from the Volunteer Committee as to how we all register so we can all park
together - the rally dates, again, are August 13 - 17 with the volunteers
arriving on August 10 - 11.

Thanks a lot and we'll keep you posted!!

Sincerely,
Stella Blogg,
Secretary,
Vancouver Islanders
