As I go forward in this new year, it is important that we acknowledge with thanks, some of our volunteers, namely:
CyberRally Moderators - Henry Seamon, Joan Craw, John Roy and Dennis Womack. Dennis also serves as Webmaster for the Chapter.

All of these do a magnificent job, that play a key role in providing the benefit that our members expect. Very few of our members are aware of the time and effort that goes into keeping these programs "up and running", and current ! We are truly grateful for what they do. This also applies to our Newsletter Editor, Jane Whitmore, who is solely responsible for putting this together in a timely manner. Another benefit that our members expect to be timely, but with the uncertainty of what the Postal Service may provide, is beyond our control. Do keep in mind that with the upcoming changes with the Postal Service, delivery timetables are subject to be unpredictable. These are just a few of the volunteers that we need to thank !

Have you double-checked the on-line edition of the Membership directory, to make sure that your personal record is accurate ? If there are errors, be sure to notify the Chapter Secretary. This is updated often…..again, with many thanks to Jane Parody, who devotes much time and effort in keeping this accurate. If you have an interest in volunteering for any position in our Chapter, simply let your respective Vice President know. We are always seeking volunteers !

And we must thank the following for serving as Regional Vice Presidents and who have chosen to let their term expire:
Region 1 Dick & Ann Cameron Replace by: Dave & Sally Seavey
Region 3 Dave & Shirley Whiston Replaced by: Elmer & Linda MacNeill
Region 4 Art & Alda Molyneux Replaced by: Bill Davis
Region 6 Don & Wilma Sanders Replaced by: Dave & Karen McGivern
Region 9: Win & Sharen Seitzinger Replaced by: Dennis Tractenberg and Stephanie Contos

Don't' forget…..the program of awarding Gas gift cards continues in 2012.. If any Rally Leaders have questions on this, do let me hear from you.

FMCA's "Dozen Does It" program has been extended for 2012 ! Our response to this in the past has been exceptional. I now have another five (5) FREE FMCA membership certificates available for anyone who recruits a new member for FMCA, regardless of the motorhome manufacturer. When you recruit a new member, do let me know so that I can get that certificate to you. Let's see if we can do as well in 2012 !
