We have a sponsor for the rally! Open Road RV of Monroe and Arlington (http://www.openroadrvcenter.com/) have generously agreed to be our sponsor and will supply the entree for the potluck on Saturday. 
They plan to bring two new rigs (Landmark or Sundance) depending on what they have in inventory come July. In May Doris and I will visit them and then check out a couple of catering options in Anacortes.
We think we will be lucky enough to witness to the 2016 Tribal Canoe Journey. Their current plans have them in Fidalgo Bay the 21st of July, possibly through the 23rd. This year’s journey culminates in Olympia July30 with a week of celebrations(http://www.paddletonisqually.com/index.php/faqs/). For many of us, this could be a once in a lifetime event!
As a result, the RV park is sold out. We will start a waiting list. We know of one cancellation already and they have graciously delayed cancelling their reservation for a few more weeks so that we could accommodate one more rig, if needed.

Doug and Doris,
Thank you so much for the effort and organization you are putting into this rally. It really appears to have all the makings to be a fantastic rally and I am sure will be a great time! I am really looking forward to everything and now the tribal canoe journey sounds fantastic. I can't wait!

We are excited about Open Road RV's new store at Smokey Point in Arlington, as it is in our route to our summer RV park at Lake Conner Park. We stopped by there a week and a half ago, and they are planning a full service store, which could provide warranty support for our new 2017 Bighorn.

We have no club house! We have monthly dinners in the Communities Hall in the off boating season. Last Friday of June, July and August we have the outdoor BBQ fired up for those that want to come and cook what they brought.
Closes YCs with bars are in Bellingham and Everett.

We just spent two wonderful days in Anacortes. We stopped by Open Road RV Center in Arlington and confirmed they are sponsoring this event and will be bringing a couple new rigs to the rally. The staff at the park are pretty sure the tribal canoes will be at the park on July 19th or 20th and will depart the 22nd or 23rd. Not sure how many tribes will be represented nor how many canoes but it will be impressive! We have arranged for an Italian themed dinner on Saturday with lasagna, chicken Alfredo and rolls. We will just need sides and desserts. We reserved site 56 to keep open as a place for members to gather. We sampled several local restaurants, checked out several local attractions and found a golf course that is reputed to be in the top 5 public coursed in Washington. Eaglemont golf course (www.eaglemontgolf.com) Had tee times open every week day leading up to our rally week-end. We've received several donations for the raffle. If you'd like to donate, just provide a gift in the 15 to 20 dollar price range. There are still plenty of spots available for whale watching and Island Adventures has also made a donation. Please check the first post to be sure we have the correct information for you. This is going to be one fun and memorable event. We will provide packets of information to each of you at registration. Looking forward to seeing all of you in 4 weeks!

GOLF ANYONE? As mentioned in a previous post, we checked out Eaglemont Golf Course and it looks like a terrific, beautiful, challenging course. Check out their website at (www.eaglemontgolf.com). If you are interested in getting a couple of foursomes together, I will arrange tee times. I am thinking Thursday morning would be a good time. Fee for 18 holes is $42. It's about a 30 min. drive from the RV park to the course...we can carpool.

Are you going to figure out who should bring sides vs desert. Rod and Kelly had a good system. We are both excited the rally is coming up!
