Country Coach Club Nears $100,000 Raised for Charity
This Family Motor Coach Association International Chapter Is Known
For Its Charitable Giving

A group of Country Coach motorcoach
owners met along the beautiful Willamette River in June of 2011 to discuss an
owners club founded on friendship with less bureaucracy. They formed an
international chapter of Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) and embarked on
a fun filled cross country rally adventure that has quickly spanned five years!
During that time they made giving back to the communities in which they rallied
a high priority. As of the August rally in North Bend Oregon, their Sixth
Annual Friendship Rally, this club will have surpassed $100,000 raised in rally
charity donations in its first five years of club's history. All funds benefit worthwhile organizations within the regions
where this club held rallies.
When Friendship Rally goers meet in
North Bend in August, charitable giving will easily surpass the $2, 622
remaining to be raised for CCFI to surpass the 100,000 dollar mark in
charitable giving to date. The commitment of CCFI motorcoach owners to leaving
a charitable mark within the communities they gather in is matched by the
economic impact of the club’s visit to businesses throughout the area through
goods purchased, entertainment, shopping, RV park stays and coach services
purchased while members are in town. Learn more about Country Coach Friends Inc
by contacting the club president John Malabicky or the Club’s VP of Promotion
Jerry OConnor at the club website: www.CountryCoachFriendsIncorporated.com
