FROM THE PRESIDENT PUTTING MEMBERS FIRST
Let’s Grow Our Network! Coast to Coast continues to add new parks and resorts to our network of affiliates, and there are two new Good Neighbor Parks highlighted on page 6 in this issue. If you’ve ever visited a resort or campground that you loved and wished that it was a part of the Coast to Coast network, now you can nominate that park as a potential new resort or Good Neighbor Park. It’s an opportunity for Coast members to help Coast to Coast grow our network so that members have more quality places to stay. To recommend a new affiliate, Coast members must have recently stayed at the facility and must provide the following: • Name, address, phone number, and contact at facility • Indicate whether facility is a membership resort (potential resort) or an open-to-the-public park (potential Good Neighbor Park).
Digital Edition Improvements After publishing our first digital-only edition of Coast Magazine in April, we spent a good deal of time critiquing this publication. Our conclusion was that we needed to re- design our magazine to make better use of the digital format. Therefore we have made some important design changes to this Summer issue that we think will make it easier for you to read and enjoy. These changes include: • Creating both the PDF and the flipbook in one-page formats rather than two-page spread formats we used for the Spring issue • Increasing the type size • Using photos at the top of pages and a bolder footer at the page bottom to help clearly divide the pages • Adding distinctive colors and an article title to the page footer to help members better track which story they are reading With these changes we are trying to take full advantage of the digital format for our magazine. After producing only print issues for years, it is admittedly an adjustment to think digitally versus print. For instance, our page count no longer matters, where with print issues we were forced to think in 8-page increments because of printing industry standards. We tested our changes on both smartphones and tablets, in addition to our computers, and we think this new format will make the magazine a much more enjoyable read for our members. We welcome your feedback, so please send any thoughts or comments you have to CCRPresident@CoastResorts.com.

If Coast signs a park or resort as an affiliate as a result of a member recommendation, that member will receive a $50 Camping World gift certificate from Coast to Coast. All Coast members with active memberships are eligible to submit Member Get a Park referrals. In the case that Coast signs a new affiliate that is recommended by more than one member, only the first member recommending the new facility will be awarded the $50 Camping World gift certificate
