Winter 2010 Volume 2 8 Issue
the Airstream RV Association IntraClub of WALLY BYAM CARAVAN CLUB INTERNATIONAL
New Year Traveling Resolutions on page 3 The year of 2010 is behind us and we hope that it was a good one for you. Unfortunately we lost another one of our very active Classic Club members, Teressa Ten Berge, who recently passed away. Now let’s look into the future! What does 2011 have in store for you? Hopefully you will take advantage of your Classic Airstream Club membership and join us at the activities planned for 2011. We look forward to seeing you at the Florida State Rally, February 15-20 where we will have a CAC ice cream social, free for all CAC members. After the Florida State Rally we’ll have our own special rally at the Internationally famous Busch Gardens Theme Park in Tampa, Florida. However, it is not necessary to attend the Florida State Rally in order to come to the CAC rally. Just send in your rally reservation and join us in Tampa on February 20, 2011. A Reservation coupon can be found as a part of this newsletter. On March 16 a caravan will rendezvous at Beaumont, Texas for an exciting ten day trip to experience real Cajun hospitality. During the Airstream International Rally at DuQuoin, Illinois in June we shall have our annual brunch/business meeting, an ice cream social and start another caravan beginning on July 5 to explore “Lincoln Land” throughout the state of Illinois. Support your Classic Airstream Club. If you have any suggestions for future activities please pass them along to one of the club officers. Remember to keep the CAC informed on changes to your address, telephone number or e-mail. Send updates to the club Treasurer Kay Corder; telephone – (660)287-3423; snail mail - 1002 SW Alendale Blvd, Lee’s Summit, MO 64081-2741; or e-mail at bencorder@att.net. Jack Glouner CAC President
