Welcome Dick and Diana! So happy you finally found a model to suit you!
The Nor-Cal rally will be held in the Spring, but in the meantime, the OR campout is in September and lots of folks from Nor-Cal will be going. The Central Chapter is very active as well, and Teresa does an awesome job with her activities. You'll find there are a lot of overlaps in Chapters because we all enjoy going to each other's events. If you can, plan on attending the National Rally in Gilette Wy, in June. There are many members going from CA and will most likely be a few caravans and you are welcome to join any that suit your schedule. Keep watching the forum as it get closer to the event.
And as always, feel free to call if you have questions I can help with. My boss's son is bringing home a new Cyclone Ti this weekend that we'll be decking out, so should be fun to see.
