FMCA 90th Family Reunion

[luvrbus]

I am going just for 1 reason and that being to voice my opinion in the direction they are headed Charlie told me one thing and FMCA is doing the opposite but in all fairness to him this may have been planned before he became president but I will find out  
There were only 652 lifetime membership sold for 500 bucks ea  the members of the $1000.00 club paid for the office building in Ohio   

I have my original 5 digit cast egg not the plastic it took 18 years to figure out 3 of us had the same number it belongs to me now the other 2 have passed away I belong to FMCA because of the Eagles International only

Karen and I have been FMCA members for over 25 years and just attended our first National rally in Perry, GA. There were 2500 family coaches and 500 coaches for sale in Perry. We stayed in the generator section which works for us since we are set up to dry camp. I don't know how many of those in attendance were buses but there were quite a few. Several people that we know through the Southeast Busnuts chapter were there as well. I enjoyed all the vendor booths and bought some stuff and even had Roadmaster repair one of my Sterling tow bars for FREE!! Can't beat that! We met lots of nice people including our neighbors for the week who live in Canada. Two spaces from us was a couple who recognized our Prevost as having belonged to good friends of theirs and came over to take pictures to show her the remodel we have done. We even met a couple that live 10 miles from us that knew a lot of the same people that we do.
Like any organization you mostly get out of it what you want to. Do you know that it took over 700 volunteers to make this rally happen? Who by the way paid the same fees that I did. Those of us who have built and drive buses are very different than the majority of FMCA members and I am sure we have different expectations. Besides if not for FMCA we would not have been able to join the chapters and made lifetime friends.

Tom what you say is correct about the FMCA officers paying to attend the rallies but you left out the part they get $7500.00 travel expense for the continental US and the ferry paid for if going to Alaska lol and I never saw a officer in the generator section fwiw I have been a member since 1983 off and on  

They did pay a little for fuel for the volunteers and to the FMCA chapter directors but done away with in the last few years,I have receive fuel money before

Who knows Adcock may turn it around at least you can talk to Charlie and he will listen it is wait and see with me,regardless FMCA is like any for profit corporation the bottom line rules
