Rally season is approaching

As many PenNY Mixers head North for the summer, it's time to plan for the rally season. To the right of this posting are opportunities for us to get together. A few that need more explanation are mentioned below:
  1. On June 12-14, we have been invited to the Fingerlakers rally in York, NY. One highlight among many will be the celebration of George and Millie Worden's 50th wedding anniversary.
  2. On July 20-23, there is the 82nd FMCA International in Bowling Green, OH. PenNY Mixers have offered to help the Fingerlakers serve coffee and donuts. The Worden's will be the key contacts for this function. We are looking for volunteers to help. Please contact them.
  3. On August 12-15th, PenNY Mixers will again be collecting and distributing door prizes for the FMCA NEAR in Essex Junction, VT. The Roule's will be the contacts for door prizes. We will need some help. Please contact the them if interested.

Our first rally will be at the Livonia firemen's training field on May 22-25th. Please look for details at the bottom of our blog

Shirley Moore is busy working on the newsletter and you should see it soon.

Industry Notes

There are signs (although anecdotal) that RV and motor home sales are beginning to increase.

Monaco Coach Corp. has struck a deal with Navistar International to purchase Monaco's assets for $50 million. The bankruptcy judge has ordered the deal be completed by June 1st with more details to be worked out.

Coachmen RV has been dropped from the New York Stock Exchange because it has not met the $15 million minimum capitalization requirements. It's going to be listed on the Over The Counter as COHM.
