The CCFI club will top 300 members in 2013!
Harrisburg, Oregon, January 1, 2013 -- Country Coach Friends Incorporated, an international FMCA Chapter
comprised of Country Coach (and other brand) motorcoach owners, welcomed its 200th coach member to the
club. Bill & Lynette Marcione of Placerville, California joined the club thanks to Premier RV Services having
purchased their first year membership at the time they purchased Bob Lee, co-owner of Oregon Motorcoach
Center in Eugene, OR and founder of the original Country Coach motorcoach manufacturing company, recognized
the club’s reaching 200 coach member families saying, “Many of these CCFI members are Terry’s and my good
friends, some of my oldest friends in fact. We’ve traveled a lot of miles to a lot of rallies together over the years…
and in the process we’ve developed deep friendships. Isn’t that what motorcoaching is about? It isn’t surprising
that this Country Coach club founded on friendship and open to all is steadily growing.”
Louie Courtemanche, co-owner of Premier RV Services in Junction City, OR extended congratulations
to the Club on reaching this membership benchmark noting, “Club President Jerry OConnor’s non-stop
energy and strong leadership over CCFI’s formative first year as well as his passion for the Country Coach
brand, the motorcoaching lifestyle, and for presenting high quality rallies is representative of the caliber of
this entire club. We’re proud CCFI Club and Rally Supporters.” RV-related businesses offered giveaways
to members in a drawing held December 31, 2012. CCFI started with 40 coach members who became members
during the 2011 Friendship Rally in Harrisburg, Oregon where the club was launched. Ken and Ellie Hamill of
