We do hope to see you soon at ORPS

January 2021 ORPS Chapter, Family Motor Coach Association

From the Board, we wish you all a very Happy Holiday. We certainly can- not have traditional cele- brations here in the desert

or at home. We will make up for these trying times next year at ORPS. We have missed all our Canadian friends who make up a good portion of our Chapter. We encourage you to suggest what we can do virtually or responsibly as a small group. Above all, please be safe, kind and patient. Quarantining in your RV, fixed or mobile has been very good for some. Our members have shared where they have been and as friends would have it, could get together during their travels. Over the next months, I will pass the shared moments our families have offered up. Send your pictures along!
