FROM THE PRESIDENT PUTTING MEMBERS FIRST
grow our GNP network and to provide more availability of GNP nights for Coast members. Coast members will still be able to search GNPs via the online directory at CoastResorts.com, as all GNPs will continue to have profiles and listings in our online directory and be included in our online maps. When you “check availability” for a GNP, you will be provided with a phone number to call the GNP directly to make your reservation. When you call, simply identify yourself as a Coast to Coast member, check availability of the dates you prefer, and confirm your discounted Coast member rate and your payment method with the GNP. Also be sure to bring your Coast membership card to show at check-in. This change will not impact reservations for Classic, Deluxe, or Premier Resorts as these will continue to be booked through the Tripsetter Reservation System. Congratulations to longtime Coast Magazine contributor Dave G. Houser, who won a Gold Award (first place) in the Destination Travel Online Publication category in the 2017 North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) Awards Competition. His winning feature, “Gateway to the Galaxies,” was published in the spring 2017 issue of Coast Magazine and provided a tour of several observatories and astro-related educational facilities around Tucson, Arizona. If you missed Dave’s award-winning travel feature, or want to reference features from any previous Coast Magazine digital edition, just log in at CoastResorts.com and under the Benefits tab click Digital Coast Magazines.

Check Out the New Coast Videos!
In addition to recent upgrades to our member materials, Coast to Coast has created a series of videos to help both new and current members get the most out of their Coast member benefits. There are Welcome videos for new members as well as “How to” videos on benefits such as Coast Travel Services, Trip Plus, and other benefits. In addition we have created videos to help members navigate the CoastResorts.com website and to book RV stays at Coast Resorts using our Tripsetter reservation system. To view the videos, sign in at CoastResorts.com and select “Videos” in the Benefits drop down menu at the top of your member homepage. While these videos are perfect for new members, they are also a great refresher for current members. Get the most out of your Coast membership by watching our member videos. If you have any feedback on our new videos, drop us a line at CCRPresident@CoastResorts.com. Good Neighbor Park Program Changes If you plan to book RV stays at a Coast Good Neighbor Park (GNP), this is a reminder that the reservation process for GNPs has changed. Effective January 15, 2018, instead of making GNP reservations through the Coast Tripsetter Reservation System, Coast members will contact GNPs directly to make reservations and also pay GNPs directly.
