RVers through our greatly enhanced new web page and through several the social networking sites. A discussion was held about how best to display Kansas parks on our web page. Natalie Donges (Deer Grove RV Park, El Dorado) raised a pertinent question which led to a
lengthy open discussion about publicly-funded facilities. KARVC President Harold Hays (Lawrence KOA, Lawrence) said, “To see such lively discussion is a board member’s dreamcome-true. Passion and ownership of the association came out in everyone.” Members were supportive of listing all nonmember privately-owned parks on the consumer site, but remained opposed to including any publicly funded parks. On a jubilant note, Pat Morgison (Watersports Campground, Dodge City) announced it’s been 40 years since he built and opened his RV park.
KARVC congratulates the Morgison family on their lengthy and successful career, and applauds their long-standing dedication to KARVC, having been one of the founding-fathers of the association back in 1973. Members re-elected Sheila Wagner and elected Amy Wagner (USI RV Park, Wichita) to the board. President Harold Hays turned the gavel over to Sheila Wagner as the new President. Mary Arlington and Carolyn Fenn (Four Seasons RV Acres, Abilene) retained their titles as Treasurer and Secretary. Charlotte and Paul Pinick (Emporia RV Park,
Emporia) also continue on the board. The members also unanimously permitted an amendment of the bylaws which allows for a reduction in the size of the board and which further defines the chain of command of the officers. The members chose to continue with our present meeting format, keeping the Spring Fling private to park owners with mostly round-table discussions on the industry and park operations. The next meeting will be February 22, 2011 at Capital City KOA, in Topeka, Kansas.
