Lone Star Birds Wildflower Rally

[ronmarabito2002]

Hi all:

Shirley and I recently hosted the Lone Star Birds Wildflower Rally
at Buckhorn Lake Resort, Kerrville, TX. Had 15 coaches and the group
had a great time. Unfortunately, there were practically no
wildflowers like we are used to seeing caused by the the drought last
fall and winter.

We managed to include some live entertainment this time and
everyone enjoyed it, I know. Everybody stayed for 3 hours.

Many of you have been concerned about the factory, as you should
have been. They have had some problems over the last few years, but
it looks like they are poised and started in a recovery that might be
similar to Harley Davidson. It requires our support however.

Maurice & Rozanne DeShazer, current President of the Family of
Friends joined us at the rally as did Dan & Bobbie Jensen. Both of
these couples are members of the Advisory Council to the new
Wanderlodge Corporation. We obviously had some good discussions about
the factory and Fred Vandenburg, Sales Manager. Everyone agrees, that
the factory needs the support of all the owners and that does include
Fred. It is imperative that we all join in to support the new efforts
and the new product being produced.

Since the management is now clear or free of the requirements of
the owners we had, they are ready and started in production of the
highest quality coach on the market. I was given a CD with a factory
tour hosted by Fred Vandenburg and it was terrific. When you see the
new construction of the LXi, you will be impressed. Once again, we
can refer to the coaches as "Tanks". The framework is impressive to
say the least and all stainless steel.

Fred has joined our Forum and will post from time to time with new
information coming from the plant. Please do not email him direct
with questions. He doesn't have time to address them, but please send
any inquiries to me. I will act as a liaison with Fred and try to
answer any questions you might have about the new product and the
status of the factory.
