Syracuse Good Sam International

We did it !
We signed up for the Good Sam International in Syracuse - $199, but it was free. We have Good Sam towing insurance and are "Premier Members" which qualified us.
Re-Upped for 5 years at $17 per year. So, for $85 we have membership until 2018 and a free International.

FMCA - are you listening?
FMCA membership has gone from 120,000 to 80,000 while Good Sam has gone from 1,000,000 to 1.4 Million. FMCA dues are $50/year vs $17 for Good Sam.
We have made so many great friends, as a result of our chapters being the lifeblood of FMCA. We will stay as long as our friends do.
But --- it's scary.
And --- Winnebago has introduced its first complete line of towables since the 70's.

Rally News

A couple of notes about future rallies -
  • The September rally still needs a wagon master. Please let Barbara Kotar know if you are interested.
  • We are putting together plans to return to Harborfest in July, 2014. Jim and Sherry Miller will be wagon master with the Roule's close in tow. We hope to make it a joint rally as have been previous visits.
