HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

THANKSGIVING IS THE TIME TO GIVE THANKS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  

THAT'S ALL OF YOU!  

We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with your family and friends.

(and, maybe, have some food and libation) 

Is it time to check your tires ?

A couple of weeks ago while cleaning the motor home, I casually checked the DOT code on the tires.  As most of you may know, the last 4 digits signify the week and last 2 digits of the year the date it was manufactured.  The tire showed the following:

DOT 244CHADI 5202

That means the tire is almost 8 years old!  Most manufacturers recommend replacement at about 6 or 7 years old.  A check showed all 6 tires were manufactured before July, 2003.  So, knowing we head for Florida in January meant we had a decision - "DO WE OR DON'T WE REPLACE THEM"?

So, our bank account is lighter, but we have new tires.

Just a reminder, time flies and you might want to check your tires, too.

Charlie Schrenkel Resigns FMCA Presidency

To: Governing Board, FMCA
Executive Board
Directors
Staff

I have given much thought and have done a lot of reading these past few days about the
challenges I am faced with as far as my health is concerned. It would not be fair to this
association to have a president not fully capable of holding that office. A president of FMCA
should be directly involved with the day to day operation of the association, and not have any
distractions, such as health problems that take away from the assigned duties of that office. I don't know how to do both.
Therefore, I respectfully submit my resignation from the office of President of Family Motor
Coach Association effective upon receipt of this e-mail.
My thanks to all of you for your support during my term as president.


Charlie Schrenkel F140050
National President
Family Motor Coach Association
