Region 7 Board and Fellow Airstreamers:
Regretfully, I am unable to attend the Region 7 Board Meeting and Rally in Duluth, Minnesota due to family commitments – I have always maintained that “Family comes first”.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve the last two years as your Region 7 President. I have enjoyed working with Linda Agre, Pete & Kathy Yanke and Don & Lillian Thomson over the last 6 years. Pete was installed as Region 7 President in Lewisburg, West Virginia on July 3, 2016, and I know that Pete & Kathy will do a great job for the Region.
I was pleasantly surprised at the International Rally in Lewisburg to receive the Region Membership Award. It was awarded to Region 7 for having increased their membership the most from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016 – which was approximately a 26% increase. Kudo’s to all the Unit’s for your hard work in not only maintaining our membership, but also by increasing it. Thanks to Linda too for doing a great job as membership chair of Region 7. Keep up the outstanding work !!
Thanks to all the Units for your hospitality at the Unit Rallies and Installation Rallies that Bruce & I attended over the past 6 years. It has been a wonderful journey and our pleasure to serve you and the WBCCI.
Once again, thanks for all your support.
Respectfully submitted,
Gail Harrower, Region 7 Immediate Past President

Sunday will be the day of celebration, and tentative plans are:
Sunday, July 24

The Peace Gardens have reserved the entire campground for our rally — consisting of 36 electric and water sites which will be for those who medically need power (ex. CPAP machines, etc.) on a first paid rally fee basis; and a large overflow area which can accommodate approx 100+ RV’s as dry camping. We may be able to have daisy chain water and they have two shower houses – one at each end of the campground site. Hotel accommodations and alternate campgrounds will be provided.
We are finalizing the costs for meals, parking, tours, etc., with the Peace Garden staff and then will be able to do up our rally brochure and get the registrations on-line on our Region website. This is a historic event for the WBCCI and we hope that many of you will be able to attend.
