StraitRVing Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hello everyone. I have received the formal approval of the board in regards to the BOF - Military & Veterans. Escapees BOF - Military & Veterans is now an official BOF. As this a BOF and not a chapter, there is no requirement for elected leadership, By-Laws, various reports, etc. However, the BOF must abide by Escapees Directives and submit a membership roster annually. Here is a brief description of the BOF: The purpose of this BOF is to provide military, veterans, and Gold Star families the opportunity to continue with food, fun, fellowship, and camping/RVing with others that have or still are serving, in the United States and Canadian Armed Forces.MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA1. Active member in good standing with Escapees.2. Any honorable discharged military veteran, Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard, and Gold Star (parents, children, spouse) families of the United States and Canadian Armed Forces. Verification is required. Verification will be done by viewing your unexpired Escapees ID card with the Military emblem on it which shows Escapees has verified your military service. Gold Star family’s verification process is yet to be determined. Currently checking with various Gold Star family associations to find out the best method to accomplish thisBOF Activities1. Social interaction through food, fun, fellowship, camping, and RVing.2. Help fellow active duty, veterans, and Gold Star families.3.

Kirk W Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Sounds like a good idea. There was a veteran's BOF a long time back, or so I believe. BOF groups do tend to come and go. If you would like, I am willing to assist you in some parts of the organization. If you wish, just drop me a PM and let me know. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

StraitRVing Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thank you Kirk for the reply. I too thought that there was a BOF for the military and veterans at one time. Lockie does not recall one actually have been setup as a BOF, C-BOF, or chapter. I will send you a PM.

It may have been before she worked at Escapees. I think that it has been gone for 10 years or so. But it is also possible that it wasn't Escapees that had it too. My memory isn't always reliable! 🤔 Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

StraitRVing Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I believe memory is tied into having hair any color besides white and gray. I also think it is tied into the amount of hair. Once you hair color goes, or the hair, and has become white and/or gray then the memory goes with it. Kinda like it was a storage for memory...LOL Quote Richard "Doc" Strait, USN Retired 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB Point of Contact for the Military, Veterans, and Gold Star Families BOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
