Old Business

Those members planning to go to Renfro Valley in October should check the website for the shows during the weekend of 10-12. Please let Becky Colbert know so she can get the show tickets as a group. She needs this information by September 8.

Since a number of members are not planning to go to Renfro Valley, there was discussion of having an additional campout during the month of October. Dave Bump made a motion that we camp at Starve Hollow on October 2-4. Mary Brown seconded the motion. The motion was approved. If we cannot get sites, it was agreed that Hardy Lake would be our second choice.

New Business

Tom McNulty read a thank you for the memorial gift and thoughts and prayers for Keith Colbert’s mother.

We welcomed a visitor, Mel Sodergren from Louisville, KY. We hope he can camp with us again.

During the winter, President Tom McNulty received a list of members from Sunny Travelers RV Club. Many of those on the list were either no longer members or never were members. After purging the list, he contacted Sunny Travelers with the correct membership.

Tom led a discussion on club membership requirements. During the Florida Luncheon, he had conversations with several club presidents about their practices. Some do not require membership in the Sunny Travelers organization. Also, some allow owners of Some Other Brands to camp with the clubs. Tom asked the membership coordinator at Sunny Travelers about the current rules. He was advised that a SunnyBrook owner must belong to the National Organization to be eligible to take Sunny Travelers tours and participate in activities with the exception that they may attend one rally before they join. However, they may participate in local club’s activities without joining the national. Owners of a “SOB” cannot vote or participate in meetings. The discussion continued as to the advantages of membership in Sunny Travelers and the possibility of our allowing Associate Members. All of the Sunny Memories members will be allowed to give input before any decision is made.

President Tom has called for an Executive Officers meeting at the June campout at Holt’s campground. All present officers and all past presidents are invited to participate. If any of the members have something that they would like to have brought up at the Executive Meeting, please get the information to Tom or one of the other  officers, including any Past Presidents it will be brought out at the meeting.

We all thanked Tom for preparing the delicious deep fried turkey for our Saturday pitch-in. It was suggested that we might ask him to do this again.

At this time those persons planning to attend the International rally in Iowa are: Hobbs, Nelsons Browns and Hurst.

It was decided by all to eat out for the Saturday meal next month.

We have received no door prizes from Customers First this year.

Russel Brown made motion that we adjourn the meeting and Dave Bump seconded it. Motion was carried.

Keith Colbert led the group in a closing prayer.
