OWNERS ASSOC. OF
RVOABC PRESIDENT’S CORNER
BY BILL WRIGHT
Greetings RVers, As they say, Time Waits For No One, and we, the RVOABC
Executive, wish the best of the coming season to all our Club members, and to all other readers of T e RV Times. T e 2013 Wind-Up Rally was held on one of the best
weather weekends of the season and those who missed, don’t let it happen again for these Rallies add years to your life, or is that the reverse? Here are a few highlights. First, the new- bies were out of control behaving as if they were long time members, and from what I could see, having a superb time with the group. Devika’s Dynamite Catering hit the spot with not only a fantastic roast beef dinner, but also an over-the-top breakfast too. Our Sunshine Valley hosts, Joanne and Brian, made us feel right at home and could not have been more helpful. Bean Bag Baseball was a smash with winners AND losers, but we can honestly say there were no losers as a great time was had by all. In September in Abbotsford, the Snowbird RV Show was
once again an opportunity for the RVOABC Club to get exposure and a chance to brief people on Club membership benefi ts and activities. I would like to thank the following for their much needed help: Trenor Tilley helping with set- up and again with take-down, along with his wife Barbara. Covering the booth throughout the Show we had Jim & Mary Lavery, Ted & Bev Rissick, Rod & Joan Oben, Mike & Diane Coward, Roy & Lynda Panter, Jim Rogers & Linda Goggin, George & Joyce McCluskie, Barrie & Jan Clark, Jerry Walter, Rob & Maggie Wilson, Trenor & Barb Tilley, and ME, and my wife Diane Wright. If you have a little trouble getting on our website, don’t
hesitate to email Gord, our Webmaster, who will walk you through, or even crawl with you, to make it an easy journey. Email address is
webmaster@rvoabc.org.

Those Darn Seniors!
A married couple was traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George, BC.
Being seniors, after almost 11 hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350. The husband exploded and demanded to know why
the charge was so high. He told the clerk although it’s a nice hotel, the room certainly wasn’t worth $350 for four hours. Then the clerk told him that $350 was the ‘standard rate’.
He insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared, listened to him, and then explained that the hotel had an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for them to use. “But we didn’t use them,” the husband said. “Well, they are here, and you could have,” explained the Manager. The Manager went on to explain that the couple could
also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best entertainers from New York, Hollywood, and Las Vegas perform here,” the Manager says.
“But we didn’t go to any of those shows,” the husband
said. “Well, we have them, and you could have,” the Manager replied. No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, “But we didn’t use it!” The Manager was unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay, so asked his wife to write the cheque. She did and gave it to the Manager. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the
cheque. “But ma’am, this is made out for only $50.” “That’s correct. I charged you $300 for sleeping with
me,” she replied. “But I didn’t!” exclaimed the Manager. “Well, too bad. I was here, and you could have.”
Don’t mess with senior citizens. They didn’t get there by being stupid!
