Greetings to our FMCA ARC Family:

Here We Go:

Once again it’s time to turn our thoughts to fair weather and our Chapter’s 2015 Spring Rally.

Who: All FMCA ARC members and their guests Come One Come All! - Invite Someone New to Join Us in Kentucky!

Rally Hosts: Rick WB5VQW & Karen WB5UFM Hamilton

Rally Co-Hosts: Chuck KW5I & Anne KD5TNA Myers

What: FMCA ARC Spring Rally and Business Meeting

When: Tuesday May 12 through Friday May 15, 2015

Where: Cave City, Kentucky

Why: Because we love you

Our theme for spring 2015 is “Post” Kentucky Derby Party.

Karen and I are excited about our (your) upcoming 2015 Spring Rally at the Cave Country Campground in Cave City, Kentucky.

We are also excited and feel fortunate to have Chuck and Anne Myers as co-hosts. They’re a big asset for our rally’s success.

Come prepared to have a good time and rekindle old and create new friendships all in the good name of Rving and Amateur Radio. Bring a big appetite because the ARC loves good food, Rving, Amateur Radio, fellowship, and more good food.

Remember that the Family Motor Coach Association requires each chapter to have at least one rally a year with a minimum of fifteen coaches present to maintain active chapter status. This rally may also be a business meeting so we will need a quorum present for voting purposes. We need and want you to be there because “This Is Your Chapter”.
