FMCA is in the process of changing to Family RV Association (FRVA). This is part of our expansion to provide resources and benefits to all owners of recreational vehicles and those interested in owning an RV. This is a long term recognition that we are a great resource and the changing RV marketplace (fewer coaches and more towables). The decision was made by the Governing Board back in August. We have been working with a professional branding consultant on a logo and other items since. We are in the process of fully rolling out these changes to our various platforms. In addition, the Governing Board approved increasing the dues. This is the first dues increase in many years. In retrospect, it would have been less of a shock if we had made smaller increases in dues during this time. Why the need for the dues increase? Our membership has been decreasing (part of the reason for the name change) and our expenses have been increasing. We have run in the red for eight of the past ten years. We needed to address this issue before we ran out of reserves. We have substantially decreased expenses including reducing our staffing levels but this did not resolve the issue. We needed to increase revenue as well. I hope this helps you understand what is going on. If you have additional questions, either post them here or email them to me at bobww.fmca@gmail.com

I was honored to present the Vixen RV Lovers Chapter with their chapter banner. I look forward to seeing some of these unique RVs at a future rally. Bob Weithofer
