Thanks Gene! Your email prompted me to do several things that I have been
meaning to do:

1. Renew my expired FMCA membership
2. Join GMCMI
3. Join GMC Western States
4. I'm still trying to figure out how to join the GMC 49ers

The 49er rally in Lodi is only about 15 miles from my house (Elk Grove) and
I hope to attend the rally on Saturday. This will be my first! Unfortunately
that day is also my Wife Sandy's Birthday. I have her going out for a spa
treatment so I can at least meet some great GMC folks and attend Frank's
tech session (see, I'm not as dumb as I look).

Thanks for kicking me into gear!

The perfect GMC  lyrics:
 
Just about a year ago,
I set out on the road,
Seeking my fame and fortune,
Looking for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse,
I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.

I had the pleasure to go to a 49er rally while driving an SOB west.

What a great bunch of people.

Yup, all the other clubs are easy -- you just fill out an application
and pay for membership. I have yet to actually find a 49er membership form.

You can just go visit for the day without having to sign up though.

The GMC 49ers have always been a very social group. Thet like to have members attend rallys and not just be "mail order" members. There is a still standing requirment in the by-laws that you must attend one meeting/rally inorder to join.

Bit of a catch-22 there though. It's pretty hard to find out about the rallies if you're not a member.

Karen,

There is Bdub's Calendar: http://www.bdub.net/GMCLinks.html

I don't know if the 49'ers send him dates of their rallies though.

When one joins FMCA, they normally send you a list of chapter s in your
area that you might want to join. This list also has contact numbers for
the chapters. Contact the person listed and they will see you get all the
info you need about how to join and when and where the rallies are going to
be held. Gene tries to keep the 49er blogspot up to date and Suzanne
Stadler-
List tries to keep the website current.
To become a GMC 49er, you must attend two rallies first. To receive a
newsletter - either hardcopy or via email, you need to give your contact
info to a club member so you can be included. Nonmembers are allowed three
newsletters free ( often extended with no hassle to interested parties),
which covets half of the year.
And on the subject of FMCA membership, until the
end of 2013, they are giving two years of membership for the price of one
to new members. Just need to use bogo50 on the application form.

Karen,
I thought you were already a member.
When I was trying to get in back in 1982, they asked us to wait outside while they took a vote.
We got in, but I really did not know for sure.
They have turned down people.
I feel it is little tight to ask people to come to one to see what were like, then bring your check book the second time.
I think most have come back the second time with a check book and joined.
Sometimes this will give them a better chance to meet more of the members.
At least we do not disown you when you get rid of your coach like some.
