Vice  President

 

This summer’s caravans, Canadian Maritimes and Colorado Four-Wheelin’ , are set to roll.  Would you like to go on a Monacos in Motion caravan next summer?  The planning time is NOW!  Many good ideas were discussed at the last two business meetings.  We’re all members with the opportunity to plan and lead a caravan.  If you have an idea for a caravan, I’m here to help you in the planning stages.  Call me at 804-239-4214 or send and e-mail to:

Connie and I are working with Wilt and Barbara Greenwood to plan a Utah National Parks caravan for the fall of 2008.  Be watching future newsletters for more details

RV Friendly Program

 Fred Brodersen FMCA Gov. & Legislative Affairs Committee reported that an RV black on yellow circle symbol is being displayed near places safe for travelers to stop and patronize.

 

FMCA Honors MIM Members France and Coe  Betten were featured on the cover of the June, 2007 issue of Family Motor Coaching. The Loving the Life article is worth the reading! Our congratulations to you France and Coe. Many of us have enjoyed sharing stories with you on a few MIM caravans.

 

Just Wondering?

Went into the RV market to shop.  Saw a sign on an item which said,”Buy two, get one free.”  The first item had a lifetime guarantee!  I may need a big shade tree.  My brother thinks I’ve been in the sun too long.  It’s been in 100’s for four weeks.

 

Bits and Pieces

Ed Tilman has been seen dragging in his Super Truck! When asked why he was doing this Ed replied, “It’s for fun.” Oh, yes, his hot truck is made of several collected parts thus the name “Bits & Pieces.

 

What to Pack for Pets Who Travel with You

Bring along a good picture of your pet. This can be copied and distributed should you be separated. Include a special set of tags which contain your name, address, and phone number.  It would be great to have this on the collar before you begin driving.

 

Congratulations to John and Rita Ham

John and Rita are celebrating their Golden Anniversary July 20, 2007 at Ocean Park, WA.

I’ve learned that Joann might be preparing to again co-lead another beautiful Colorado caravan in the near future. Encourage her and volunteer to serve as Tailgunner if you have the skills to follow along.

Humor of Lexophiles

 Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

 If you take a laptop computer for a run, you could jog your memory.

 Police were called to a day care where a three-year old was resisting a rest.

 When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

 

The MaritimeAdventures

 

The caravan began meeting here at Bar Harbor Bay.  The coach couples then lined at the border up for heading into Canada. 

 

      

 

    The small, but important group began exercising their right to shop in Freeport, Maine.    

    Can’t wait to hear how they each explain their version of the days events.   

                                                                                                                 

 

    After looking at the two in the Grog Shop I’m even more curious as to their mood. 

 

    The Maritimes Monacos In Motion caravaners grouped at the Potato Museum.

    Ask them what they learned! They shared a beautiful sunset. Wish you were there?

              

 

    This Maritime Caravan is so popular.  Hope it comes along again soon!
