OWNERS ASSOC. OF
RVOABC PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE BY BILL WRIGHT
Greetings RVers, We have wrapped up the Earlybird RV Show & Sale in
Abbotsford, which was the first Show of the year and a job well done by Amanda Henschell, Show Manager, along with Ann Cordingly, Floor Manager & staff. I must say we were once again well entertained by fellow
exhibitors. Attila of Euro Driving School not only supplied a movie he also kept us supplied with candy. Jeff and Janice of Eagle Vista RV Resort and Campground had a lollipop jar for all and a super bonus offered to RVOABC members. Tey are offering us one FREE night camping until June 15, 2011 so check out their website at
eaglevistarv.com. Glenn with Boss Technology was making sure we all know how
to keep our RVs looking like new. John and KC from Sanidumps. com kept telling us when our RV has to go, what RV restrooms are available and where. My good buddy George in the booth for Holiday Trails forgot all
the training we gave him last year to supply coffee and snacks but of course maybe he will get it together for the Snowbird Show in September. Tanks to the following members for their time and help over
the four days of the Show. Tanks to Don Smith for taking time out to help me put up the booth, and the following for their coverage during the Show: Jim & Mary Lavery, Cathy Labrecque, Jerry Walter & myself Bill
Wright, Don Smith, Trenor & Elizabeth Tilley, Susan Woodruff, Ken Bjorge & Barb McCurdy, Diane Wright, Shari & Rich Clark, Robert & Maggie Wilson, George & Joyce McCluskie. Te packing up at the end of the Show was taken care of by Bill & Diane, George & Joyce. While they were loading the van in the rain, I was worried that they may melt since they are such a sweet couple. Salesperson of our group is Jerry Walter who sold a three-year
membership to a couple who were already members and paid up until December 2012.
COMING EVENTS: Yes, another RV Show, namely the Humdinger RV Show & Sale,
held March 17-20 at the Heritage Park in Chilliwack. We will of course need people to cover our booth for the RVOABC during these four days as I don’t want to hog it all and I know that we have members that have been waiting their turn so now it’s here. Give Jan Clark a call at 604-466-5432 so we may set you up with a time and day. We usually split it as follows: 1st
2nd 3rd
Shiſt: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Shiſt: 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. Shiſt: 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Remember this is your Club and we need your help. Tanking
you in advance for lending a hand to promote the RVOABC and attract new members. If we can’t get the volunteers for this Show, our booth will need to be cancelled.

L-R: Don Smith, Jan Clarke, Bill Wright, Trenor Tilley, Joyce McCluskie KICK OFF RALLY:
Burnaby Cariboo RV Park, May 6-8.
First Rally of the year, opening our 2011 RV travel season. Tese facilities include an indoor swimming pool, hot tub,
exercise room, did I say exercise? I thought we get enough of that just driving our RVs around! You will receive an itinerary when you mail in your application form found on page 44 of this magazine. Tis Rally is extremely popular so don’t miss out. We have much
fun and meet new and not so new friends. CAMPFIRE RALLY:
Brae Island Regional Park, Fort Langley, June 10-12. Don Smith, our Rally guy, has everything set and ready to go. We
have made arrangements at the Fort Pub for dinner on the Saturday night and will have further info coming in RVT 141, and on our new website at
www.rvoabc.org. Check it out. Once again, it is imperative you register early as we must book
our space well ahead, and I know no one wants to miss out. Aſter all, someone may find a trinket or two in one of those antique shops in downtown Fort Langley, but don’t count on buying groceries at the IGA as it is no longer there due to a fire that leveled it.
