National President's Message
May 20, 2015
Dear Governing Board Members,
Summer is rapidly approaching as we prepare for FMCA’s 92nd Family Reunion & Motorhome Showcase, in Madison, Wisconsin, July 29-August 1, 2015. Of course, we want you all to join us as we "Escape to Wisconsin" so we’ve provided a registration form with this mailing. Be sure to ask for Governing Board parking when you register. The packet for the Governing Board meeting in Madison is expected to be mailed in mid-June. If you are a chapter delegate for this meeting and will be traveling during this time frame, please notify the national office that you will not be at your address of record to receive this packet, so other arrangements can be made. Chapter secretaries recently received a roll call sheet for this meeting requesting verification of their chapter representatives. If you are not a delegate for this meeting but you are a chapter alternate national director or chapter president and would like a meeting booklet mailed to you, please contact the national office. The meeting booklet will be available to review online. A national officer election will take place during this Governing Board meeting. Please contact Dianna Mitts, FMCA Chapter Services Department, extension 210, or dmitts@fmca.com, regarding any of these meeting details.
The minutes from the board meetings that were held in Pomona, California, during FMCA’s 91st Family Reunion & Motorhome Showcase are included with this mailing.
Also Included with this newsletter are the results for the Midwest, Northeast, Rocky Mountain, South Central, and Southeast Area National Vice President elections. These officers will serve a two-year term and will take office in Madison, Wisconsin, during FMCA’s Annual Membership Meeting.
Don’t miss the Executive Director’s Commentary in the June issue of Family Motor Coaching magazine. You will definitely want to explore RVillage, a free social networking website built by RVers for RVers.
Be sure to check for ongoing online updates regarding the Governing Board meeting as they become available. All of these topics, as well as previous Governing Board mailings, can be found on the Governance website, governance.fmca.com.
Safe travels to all. Remember, "It’s all about having fun!"

Metropolitan's 40th Anniversary Celebration
Wow, what a Party! About 50 people showed up for our 40th Anniversary weekend Party in Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY. There were two original Charter members in attendance as well as 4 brand new members of the Club.
The reunions, stories, camaraderie, fun and food could not be beaten. From Thursday, when people showed up to set up the Lodge we used for all our food, right through the goodbyes on Sunday, everyone had a wonderful time. Even the rain held off till the overnight period so as not to ruin our get together. We had many former members although no longer camping, come in on Saturday to help in the celebration.
Did I mention the FOOD? Fantastic. A Saturday night catered meal that was delicious. Salad, Bread, Penne al a Vodka, Penne with Broccoli, Chicken, Sausage and Peppers, and a 40th Anniversary Cake.
Below are some of the pictures from the weekend.

NEAR Update
Well here is the final compiled copy of the Captains List for 2015. Yes things can still change and we do have a few vacancies. Please be sure to tell your volunteers that when they make their reservations to tell national that you are a volunteer so they can put a card in your packet indicating this for their windshield. We will have copies available at the expo if some are needed as well.
The changes came from the first list sent out sometime ago with a few coming forward and a few bowing out.
Reservations are coming in, Boat Cruise Tickets are selling as well as the Pig Roast Tickets.
Tom Rec has several seminars ion the works.
Bud McCormick has Vendors signed up as well.
A few loose ends to button up, signed contracts for Entertainment, Letter just went out to the VFW. Skip Smith is working with the Essex Fire Dept.
DonnieO is working on the Chapter ADS which need to be paid for and ADS need to get to Bob Mills for the Program Book, so please remind your chapters, I think deadline is May 31st.
We need door prizes and the stuffed animals for the emergency corps and marines toys for tots.
I hope you have looked at our website, nmafmca.org. It has been updated by our webmaster Anne Gould and it also contains a blog which Tom Roule from central NY has been blogging stuff as he receives things or hear of other information through the grape vine. Our new Secretary Donna has been on the ball and is doing a great job for the Northeast Area as she does for her own chapter. It's great having her on board. Same goes for your new Treasurer Jim, loved his report after things settled down with him and his wife with coach problems, WE HAD A SUCESSFULL RALLY AND DID NOT GO IN THE RED, Parking crew is in motion with I believe are great staff of parkers are all coming back. We do have a new Director at the Expo, and have had a meeting with him and his assistant and it looks like it will be business as usual, that's a relief in itself. And as you can see by the LIST the staff on board is well familiar with their jobs, so I hope for all of us to have fun working this rally. I do not mean to leave anyone out, each & everyone working at this event play a very vital role.
Wednesday evening while the CRUISE is going on their will be a cash bingo like last year and if those playing want another day of it for a couple of hours maybe we can arrange for that.
I'll close here before you delete me, I must say with your new board, all you volunteers, the sponsorships, dealers & vendors, including the support given to the program book and all it takes to pull this off, each and everyone of those involved deserve a very BIG HEARTFULL THANK YOU from myself, my wife, the board and their spouses. You all made it work successfully.
Please if you see I missed a CAPTAIN forward this along to them and notify me or Connie ASAP.
