Let’s keep in touch. We
say that nearly every day to someone don’t we? To friends and
acquaintances, family members and business associates…When it comes to Keepin’
In Touch, there is nothing like that Motorcoachers Information Pipeline.
It’s really an
electronic pony express of sorts, this Motorcoachers Pipeline, but
oh-so-much-swifter. Someone in Florida
can have eye surgery, and he’ll be blessed with dozens of well-wishes from
across the nation the next day. Someone tells someone who tells someone who
posts an email to a group of friends…
I was working at my part time job at Premier RV Services
this past week, and had a call from a dear friend whose hubby had been in a vehicle
mishap. Long time RVing friends were at the hospital visiting and checking up
on him immediately. The luxury resort where they own property sent an eblast to
resort friends to send prayers for a speedy recovery for their friend. It’s
just motorcoach owners’ nature to “gather round” and support each other when
trials come.
When you need a friend, you can count on the motorcoachers
you’ve befriended while parked next to each other at rallies or in resorts nationwide to be among
the first to offer help. I will always remember the condolences and support
that came flooding in from motorcoachers nationwide when my mother passed away
this past June. Somehow friends from Virginia
to Florida, Texas
to Oregon all
knew and many sent their hugs and support via email and calls.
And what fun to share the fun stuff with your friends too. Like the fun of receiving new “grandchildren pictures” from
friends like Bud and Anne Falk on the east coast, or pictures of their mom’s 95th
birthday from a motorcoaching friend in Texas.
It helps keep us connected, and sharing the joys and trials of each other’s
lives.
This immediate connection to friends worldwide through phone calls, emails and texts, posting to online forums or discussion boards, etc.all keep the connection intact between fellow recreation enthusiasts wherever
our travels may find us.
Rallies are a Perfect
way to Keep In Touch! Vibrant clubs like Country Coach Friends Incorporated or Family Motor Coach Association do an excellent job of keeping us connected
through several events each year where we can look forward to reconnecting for
several days at wonderful locations across the nation! Like the Country Coach
FriendshipRally in July in Harrisburg
Oregon. Just a few openings
remain for that rally, but what an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, RV-related
business friends who will be there supporting the rally experience, and to make
New Friends! Or, the Fall Rally in Petosky Michigan. What a fun time for friends who
are among the 40 motorcoaches gathering to enjoy a beautiful luxury resort in
the Great Lakes region of the nation.
Of couse the BEST
means of Keepin’ In Touch will always be Face to Face.
On Thursday of this past week, Sharon and Ron Brandt walked
in and surprised me at work. These motorcoaching friends were getting a tire
sensor installed on their new tow car and decided to walk down the street to
see me. I was able to catch up on their busy past couple of months, get their
report on a couple rallies they’d attended one in Tucson in March and then
another “wonderful rally” with Rocky Mountain Country Coachers…What fun for me to just enjoy reconnecting with a great
couple from Nevada.
When folks come home to the south Willamette
Valley to get their
service work done, have renovations completed on their coach, or to purchase new
tow cars, aftermarket items, tires, batteries, or other equipment it is a great treat for me to visit with
some of the Friendliest people on the planet.
Remember to stop by Premier RV Services, Tuesday through
Thursday, at 325 East First Avenue in Junction City whenever you get to town…I’d
love to see you and catch up on your travels and news since the last time we
met at a rally…Or give me a call on my cell at 541-521-1093 if you pass through
our area on a day I’m not scheduled to be at Premier
Let’s Keep In Touch!
