The President’s Report

By Patti Borchardt, President

Welcome Back!

For those who endured the heat of the AZ summer, you are troopers! For some of us who escaped, it’s good to be back in the company of friends in the SCW RV Club!

Big and Important issues to be addressed by all members before we get rolling again! The Most Important is the review & approval of the ByLaws! Jim Allen and Marcella Jones have worked well beyond volunteer wages to have this document available for club members to approve. Please show your appreciation for their pains-taking efforts and review them so that as a club we can approve the ByLaws at our October 8th meeting. Details for the link on the website are found later in this issue.

Nearly as important is the Nomination Committee that will be seeking to fill 2025 Board positions!
When Dan Lothrop, Pam Byrd, or Janie Randle contact you, please know… we need you!

The next important issue regards the special catering for our October 8th combined meeting. Many of you attended the Blue Grass Festival Rallies in Wickenburg of recent and have enjoyed a delicious catered Brisket dinner by Dan & Jo Flower, owners of the Onery Hog. They are coming to SCW! HOWEVER, this will be a cost-shared meal with members and RV Club funds; member cost yet TBD.

NOTE: New Memberships & Club renewal dues will be collected beginning at the October 8th mtg.

Due to changes from the Rec Center, our monthly meeting schedule has drastically changed from the norm of years past. As confusing as it is for me to keep straight, we as the RV Board will do our best to communicate the new schedule often and accurately via emails, website, newspapers, radio(?) and W.P.

Membership Report

By Marcella Jones, Membership Director

As of our May meeting the RV Club is 192 members strong.
2025 Memberships will go on sale at the October 2024 meeting. There are still several name tags/ badges that have not been picked up. If you are missing your badge, please check at the entrance table to see if it is one of the unclaimed badges.
Thank you to all the volunteers that helped in the past, greeting guests, taking membership dues and visiting with new and prospective members. If you would like to help in one of these capacities, please check with me (Marcella Jones) before or during the meeting.
It would be a great accomplishment if we had 75% or better show up at any one of our meetings. There are many things to learn from our guest speakers, friendships to be made with fellow campers and rally/caravan information and sign-up sheets to get involved with our adventures.
My goal this year is to take pictures of each of our members so we can put names to faces. Please stop by the check-in table to have your picture added to our collection. Don’t forget to wear you ID badge and bring your Recreation Center card.

Toni Viergutz has done a wonderful job maintaining our Facebook page but is looking to pass on the torch.

Toni says, “It’s really pretty easy. I approve (or disapprove) those that request to join and determine if they are, in fact, a member of the Club. Also, I just post reminders for the meetings/events.”

Please consider this as well as other positions that will be coming up. As you know, we are a volunteer-run organization.
