Re: [VAL] WBCCI Survey

["Stan Truitt" <stan.truitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

as i see it, the wbcci 's active membership is primarily made up of retired
folks.....and it is a social club. however IMHO, any club is usually made up
of people with commonality in an interest or subject and socializing to me
can be done on an internet forum or around a campfire. the governing body of
the wbcci, i assume makes plans, decisions and scheduled events based on the
wants of it's majority members....the retired members having the means to
own the very best in rv's, the time to use them and the desire to socialize
with their peers. i don't see the vac as being that different from the
wbcci. we too are a membership with a commonality of interests. these
interests no doubt differ somewhat from those of the rank & file wbcci with
our interests leaning more toward a number of things including afordability,
pride of DIY restoration , historical interest and nostalgia as well as
socializing with our peers as time may allow. i do believe that the vac
should be an integral part of the wbcci but i would like to see it's stature
elevated within the main club. seems to me that the interests we have in the
past can certainly be part of their future. after all, as the years go by, i
am sure that each of our interests will change somewhat. we might just be
the future active members of the main club. i for one look forward to the
day that i can take off a month or more at a time to do what i wish. as a
new member to both clubs i sure would be interested in some of the issues
that the vac has with its parent. any imput would be helpful. thanks
