May Camp Out Update

Our May camp out is sure to be a blast. We’ve moved it to Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-28) to take advantage of the Monday holiday and are returning to Treasure Coast RV Park in Fort Pierce (site of our September 2011 get together).  This park has great facilities including paved sites, a large pool and a clubhouse with TV and a pool table.

May is once again a “club sponsored” camp out (i.e. no formal Wagon Master). That said, Mark and Sherry Critchlow have been gracious in making the arrangements with the RV park and in facilitating planning for the weekend.

The RV park is giving the Club a special rate for the weekend starting on Thursday, May 24, through Monday night, May 28 - checking out on May 29. There is no need to call the park in advance (see this link for more information) - You should, however, let Sherrie know that you are coming for the weekend. Be sure to check this link for the latest information on this camp out.

April Camp Out - Lots of Fun Despite the Rain

The April camp out was held on the weekend of April 20-22 at Easterlin Park in Oakland Park (Broward). Despite heavy rain on and off throughout the weekend, the Club was able to enjoy a fun weekend sharing good food and friendship. Thank you to Lynn and Andy Tarte for coordinating the site for this event. See more on this camp out in the Camp Outs section.

Dates Selected for the 2012-13 Camping Season

It is hard to believe but another camping season is drawing to a close with our May camp out. Dates for the 2012-13 camping season were set at our April Club meeting and are available on the Camp Out Schedule. Wagon Masters have also been agreed to for many of the camp outs.

REMINDER - Important News from National FCRV

The FCRV national organization has subscribed to Google AdWords as part of an effort to reach out to potential new members. An ad for FCRV will be displayed on the right side of Google searches whenever FCRV’s designated key words are used (e.g. Camping). Current members (e.g. Thunderbolts) SHOULD NOT click on the ad as this will result in a charge to FCRV as you are redirected to that site. You should enter the site through www.fcrv.org or the link on our site.

REMINDER - Club Info Cards Available - Help Us Grow Our Club

Club information cards are available to help recruit new members. The larger card (post card size) has useful information about our club, FCRV and club camping in general and provides contact information (web, email and phone). The smaller (business card sized), with a bit less content, fits in your wallet or purse, making it easier to have available at a moments notice.

Cards are available at club camp outs or you can get some by contacting Phil at thunderbolts.fcrv@gmail.com.

Use the info cards to help us grow our club!

Help Us Improve YOUR Thunderbolts Web Site

Our club web site (Meeting Place) has been live now for several months. Over this time we have moved to e-newletters for most members and, we hope, provided a readily available resource for accessing information about the club, our camp outs, and other useful camping and RVing information. You can help make this site the best that it can be by:

• Sharing information with fellow club members by sending it to the webmaster at thunderbolts.fcrv@gmail.com.
• Many of us probably have interesting ‘old’ photos from Thunderbolt and/or FCRV camp outs and events. Please share these with the group by sending scanned copies to the webmaster at thunderbolts.FCRV@gmail.com or by mailing the photos to Phil Rinaldi (mailed photos will be returned after scanning/posting).
• For Wagon Masters – It is important to have information on your camp outs posted to the Meeting Place as early as possible and to keep this information up to date. Please forward plans and updates as they become available to the webmaster at thunderbolts.fcrv@gmail.com.
• The “tips” section is available for you to post your own information that you think will be helpful to your fellow Thunderbolts and/or others visiting our site.  PLEASE start to post information there.
• Any thoughts for making the site more useful and/or feedback regarding the site (including issues you are having) should be sent to the webmaster.

Thanks for helping to make this new tool a success and help us to get the word out to others to visit our site.  We are hopeful that this will improve our overall communications and help us attract new members.
