National FMCA Benefits include Emergency Medical Assistance as needed, mail forwarding, travel assistance in the event of an issue, discount wireless hotspot, discount tires for your RV or car and a great magazine, just to name a few. The FMCA National parent club dues are $85 first year; $75 thereafter. Annual local dues are $25. New ORPS Chapter members will also need to purchase a name tag, $10 each. You do need a National membership first to join our Chapter at ORPS. www.fmca.com Mar 3-5 ORPS FMCA Chapter Onsite Rally included a Tuesday Rally Welcome Party, Wednesday was a big day: Breakfast, 14 members played Pickleball and Keith Hilmer won the Tournament. 23 members played in our Golf Scramble Tournament. Thursday we had the Open Speaker series, Cocktail Party, Dinner and Annual Business Meeting. Our many volunteers came out and did an outstanding job working together for fun, good competition. We then shared a great evening meal provided by our friends at Bella Roma.
through the generosity of the ORPS community by participating in our raffles, sales and donations, we are able to sponsor these selfless groups. Your kindness generated $180 in cash the day of the event, and greatly needed items for the shelter. Through the money we have raised this season, we were elated to award $4,000 to Angelina Coe, Executive Director, at Shelter from the Storm. We are so grateful to be a part of such a giving community. THANK YOU We also held the drawing for the two raffle quilts.
