Northeast Area Newletter

Sheldon from Family Motor Coach Association

It's fun being your FMCA mascot, I get to travel and be known all over the USA & Canada. I will be traveling to the Northeast Area Rally, July 17-21 and hiding all over the Champlain Valley Exposition. So see if you can, find as many of my pictures as possible from Friday to Saturday afternoon. I may be found at the same location more than once. So keep your eyes peeled throughout both days. Turn all my lovely pictures in with your name Saturday at the information booth by 5:00 pm.  Then at entertainment Saturday evening one lucky person who has collected the most of my pictures will receive a special prize.

Sheldon hopes you are having a good time at the Northeast Area Rally of Family Motor Coach Association.  

Safe travels to all and maybe I'll see you at another rally.

Frustrated Maestros

The Frustrated Maestros are the musical wing of FMCA. They show up at area and national rallies providing music and song. Most recently, they were at GEAR in York, PA.

Above is the tab linking to their blog

To The Chapters of FMCA’s Northeast Area...

Once again, in order to make our rally as special as possible for our attendees, we are asking each of our chapters to provide one door prize that can be awarded to one lucky individual or couple.  Everyone enjoys winning a prize, and we would like to be able to offer as many as possible at this year’s rally.

So please help us out by designating a representative from your chapter to purchase or get a donation of one door prize to serve as your chapter’s contribution.  It can be something that is relevant to your chapter’s focus, or simply something that you think your fellow rally-goers would enjoy.  Feel free to attach a note indicating the name of the donating chapter, and perhaps a good wish for the person who receives your prize.

Again we will be collecting NEW stuffed animals and toys for the Vermont emergency services and the Marines Toys for Tots.

Thanks in advance for your help in making NEAR 2014 extra-special for all those who attend!

Sincerely,

The NMA Executive Board

Benefits and Risks

We developed this blog to be open to everyone who might post.

• The good news is - any one can post onto the blog with information about their chapter.
• The bad news is - any one can post. Yesterday, we had someone post a note from the far east requesting money.

We get the post every time one shows up. So, it didn't take long to delete it.

Update about October Planning Meeting

Hi all,

This should clarify the issue on our camping arrangements at the Lake George Escape. 

Please pass this along as I lost my contact list of those that have contacted me 
about this meeting and wanted to be kept informed. I tried my best to try to 
remember, so consider this general information if you are interested.

But if you know of a member, even from another chapter, please feel free to pass 
it along.
It is important when you call them for your reservation be sure to let them know 
you are coming in with the northeast area of FMCA & you can also reference my 
name.

Hope to see you all, and remember after business it is Warrensburgs Worlds 
Largest Garage Sale Weekend, so bring some extra cash as you might find an 
adirondack treasure you always wanted.
Any questions call me, 518-399-0833 evenings

Tom

Below is the note from the resorts manager,
---------------------------
Hi  Tom and Connie:

The rate is $25 per nite plus our $3 resort fee for 2 nights, and one night is 
free with no resort fee.

We are happy to get a chance to have your organization come see our facilities.

You can cook whatever you want, and you can use our kitchen upstairs if you need 
it.

We have tables and chairs, they will just need to be set up.

thanks about promoting us at the car rally.

Maybe you want to volunteer ??? send me your name etc. and what you re interested in doing, and it if it fits or we can make it fit-work, you got it.
