No, I do not have any fast and easy answer.

After years of scheduling meetings, events, regattas, gams, rendezvous, trail rides, and RV rallies, I can very faithfully promise you that there is no easy answer.

There is actually a chapter that we started out as members of but had to drop until we were both finally retired because the rally schedule prohibited working owner from making it to most.

This is also why the South East Michigan and Northern Ohio (SEMNO) GMC Owners Network luncheons are on a Saturday. Others can be other days, but I was and am working to get the younger (and hopefully employed) owners to come and join us. We have had moderate success.

When we attended our first international, it was actually a joint rally and the local headed up the first days. This was difficult for us to attend. We also drove 1108 miles in one day (meaning a 24 hour period) to get to our first spring rally. That made us decide to not do that again until we were both retired.

I have to commend Kim for what she does, but we are going to miss this spring even if my engine is done because we are expecting a granddaughter to arrive about then and someone wants to be nearby when that happens.
