RVillage – We Have A Winner for May

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

Geomz has won the May drawing.  Gomez owns a blue 1966 GM 4017 and there is a beautiful photo of his bus with a red rock cliff background on RVillage.com.  Congratulations Gomez!

We hope everyone is enjoying RVillage ("Our Village"). Since our post last month the number of members has grown from 6,959 to 8,358.  That is 1399 new members.  Our "Bus Conversion Magazine Fan Club" has grown from 35 members last month to 45 members this month.  I want to thank everyone who has joined our group.

We posted our first announcement last month.  To view the original announcement, click on this link.

After you join RVillage, be sure to join our group.  This will allow you see where all the Bus Nuts are located in a snapshot in time, just by clicking on a map of the U.S. on their site.  Everyone that joins our group will be included in a monthly drawing of new members who join each month, for a free one-year E-Magazine subscription to Bus Conversion Magazine, a $25 value. Your subscription will start with the most recent issue, which you will receive immediately after the drawing on the first of each month.

If your name is not drawn at the end of the month you joined, not to worry.  Your name will be included in a special drawing at the end of the year for the Grand Finale and we will choose one winner for each of the gifts listed below which are available in our store.

1-Year E-Magazine Subscription
1-Year Online Subscription
1-Year Print Subscription
1-Year First Class Subscription

After you sign up and join our group, please come back to the BCM Forum and post a note on this thread telling us that you joined so we can all log in and see your bus and where you are currently parked.

The following web page provides an overview of RVillage; what it is, why you might want to join and use it:  http://www.omnibus-mi.us/rvtravel/resources/rvillage/  There are three additional web pages under this one with specific "how to" information:

1. Joining RVillage
2. Joining RVillage Groups
3. Navigate RVillage 

You can access these three pages from within the overview page or from the menu bar under RV/Travel | Resources | RVillage | ...   RVillage is still in public beta status and features are being added at a steady rate.  The basic information in these web pages, however, should be stable long-term.

Bruce has also been contributing articles to BCM for the last 17 months.  His BCM page is:  http://www.omnibus-mi.us/rvtravel/bcm/  or from the menu bar RV/Travel | BCM.  He has a brief description of each article with a thumbnail of the cover of the issue in which it appeared. 

There have been many very positive comments about RVillage. Become a member and find out why.
