FMCA's 105th International Convention & RV Expo Lincoln Nebraska, August 24 - 27, 2022.

DON’T LET IT SLIP BY!

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER!

The FMCA’s 105th International Convention & RV Expo Lincoln, NE on August 24-27.

The Tri-Chapter Rally is the pre-rally that MVC is a part of. It is scheduled for 8/13 - 8/16 (more than a few days before the Golden Getaway).
During the Convention, be sure to stop by our booth at the Chapter Fair to say “HI” and bring a friend who is a Vet but not yet a member! Then put this on YOUR schedule - Our
Chapter's Annual Meeting is on Friday Aug 26 at 5:30 PM in Seminar 8. You will also want to know that there is a repeat of the VA Benefits seminar that was presented at the Tucson FMCA Convention. It won’t be an exact repeat since it will address YOUR questions and concerns! I attended it and it was well worth the time. The VA Benefit Seminar is on Wednesday Aug 24 at 1 PM. Location will be listed in the brochure. Additionally, a VA Benefit councilor will be on site on Wednesday from 2:30 to 5 PM. Also, on both Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM. Take advantage of this personal, one-on-one encounter with someone with resources and in the know.
Enjoy the rest of your summer while keeping your eyes and ears open to ways in which we can carry out …..

Our Mission: Veterans Helping Veterans!

Happy 4th of July United States.

 

Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸 — often described as Our Country’s Birthday!  I wanted to share some thoughts that have been popping into my head as I try or not try to keep up with current newsfeeds.  Please consider them in light of history, the freedom for which we fought and our future!

July 4th is the day dedicated to celebrating the great country we live in. A country that we served in a unique way. A country that continues to grow and adapt to the changing circumstances of the society and environment we live in.

This country was founded on compromise by the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Not everyone’s ideas were included the final document but those ideas that were most widely supported became the Constitution.  The framework they developed established the great country that we live in.

We need to continue our commitment to this great country by helping it change for the better. For only through change can it continue to be the great example of self-government that it is.  Share your thoughts and ideas with others in a positive manner. Listen to the thoughts and ideas of others. They will not be the same but recognize that you are not always right and that others have good ideas and reasons for supporting them. And like our founding fathers listen with the intent to compromise for the betterment of our country.

Have a safe and enjoyable day celebrating our country.

Bob Weithofer
