Birds Nest Changes

[Bob Lawrence]

I agree with Leroy about setting the nest up as an RV park for profit.
The only thing I would add is that when a BB wanted to stay there,
they got preference over SOB's. Seems like a win/win situation.

> If the Birds Nest is as nice as represented by others, CCW should
set it up as an RV park and run it like one possibly creating another
revenue center for the company. Every RV park I have visited this
summer has been full. For those owners of BB's, CCW could provide a
50% discount off retail while staying at the Nest similar to Passport
America which is a service we use all the time. For BB owners, there
could be a three month limit on stay at the discounted rate. A power
surcharge may be applicable for long term stays at discounted rates.
Otherwise, the rate is the rate. Providing discounts on shop work is
at their descretion. A review of BB parts prices would be a good
thing and having another revenue center might help that situation.

current economy is not helping me either. I would rather have the
company in business than stay at the Nest free.
