SpeciaL message from our own Marne:
Many of you have been so kind and caring and asking about my New Year's adventures, so let me fill you in. Shortly before Christmas it was discovered that I had to have heart surgery. I was absolutely flummuxed. So on January 10th, I had a 5 way bypass heart surgery at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. I was there for a week and have now been home for just over a week. This never goes quite as fast as one might wish, but I'm realy doing well and improving each day. My first checkup appontment is coming up and I am definie planning to be seeing all of you in March.
Fondly,
Marne |
Survey results are finally in.
The survey results are in and thanks to Diane and her helpers, have been tabulated, organized, and formated in a way that will be easy for you to check out. Thanks to everyone who participated in this years survey, the results were very interesting and in some ways eye opening. We can all make a personal commitment to make things better for everyone and pat ourselves on the back for all the good work we do to make this the best chapter in RVW.

Messages from Web Master
Hello all;
I need your help to keep the website current and correct. If you see a typo, encounter a broken link (link that does not work when you click on it), or any other items that need my attention, please contact me. This website is very large and I can not fix something I do not know is broken and sometimes my fingers have a mind of thier own.
In trying to keep the website interesting and relivent, I am looking for some photos of rigs for the home page. If you are doing any traveling or have some pictures of your rig at one of our events, send it and I can post it on the home page showing members and visitors how much fun we have.
Also, any educational seminars, personal events, news items, recipes, or helpful tips you want to share with other members, I can post those as well.
Click here to contact me.

| Helpful Tip: |
When we got our new rig last summer, we soon realized that it's nearly impossible to check the tire pressure yourself on the rear dual tires. I pulled into Les Schwab to inquire about valve extenders, and they indicated they did not recommend them for a variety of reasons. I asked the guy, "Well, how am I suppose to check my tire presuure myself then?" He said, "You come see me anytime you want."
So now I just pull into my neighborhood Les Schwab dealer before each trip, pull around back, and a nice young man pulls off the tire covers and checks tire pressure for me on all my tires, free of charge. And it only takes a few minutes. Pretty cool, I'd say! — Diane Milnor |

| Cascadia Blog Up and Running |
Thanks to Lana and Joan, Cascadia now has a blog! No, it's not a disease or some other malady that needs treating; it's another way for us to communicate with one another, online.
It's not quite a chat room, because it's not happening in real time (just a very short delay). It's more like a message forum, in that one person posts a question or topic of conversation, and anyone can post a response or comment, creating an online conversation.
Follow a couple of easy, one-time instructions to get you up and runnig the first time, and after that it's a breeze. In no time at all you'll have the hang of it. So go to the site, check it out, and sign in with Joan to become an author. Don't forget to bookmark the site, for quicker access, too. Coming soon, a Cascadia Facebook Fan Site, because we know how many of you are now getting on board with Facebook. Stay tuned!
Thanks, Lana and Joan! |

Vial of L.I.F.E. Form
We had a sobering reminder during the 2009 Westport weekend of the importance of keeping emergency information in your rig. Please, take the time to complete the Vial of L.I.F.E. form and store it in a plastic bag or container in the freezer of your rig. Print it, fill it out, and place it in the freezer. The freezer, whether at home or on the road, is where emergency personnel are trained to look for pertinent information about your health conditions. Your life may depend on this information being available and up-to-date. Please, do it right now.
MS Word version of the form.
PDF version of the form.
