Hi Vanners
The year is winding down. We have
the Keys truck-in and the last council meeting left to go along with some
Christmas party’s. So get your calendar out and check it twice for the dates.
The council meeting will be election time so make sure your rep is there (or
you) and bring a covered dish. We will need to discuss the Florida C of C for
2012. So bring some thoughts and ideas and see if we can out do the last one we
did.
If you missed Glenda and Jr’s Labor
Day party, sorry about your luck. We had a great time! It took Pam and me about
eight hours to get there. Why eight hours? I had a little radiator problem, now
I know why I get other people to do my mechanic work. Pam was a little surprised
at her 50th birthday party that she did not want. I would like to
thank everybody who helped with it. The food was great; the entertainment in the
pool was interesting. I am looking forward to next year, if they will have us. I
promise next year the meeting will be on time.
By the time you get this the Keys
Truckin will be going on. I hope you pre-registered; so far we had 25 vans
registered. We are not having a band this year so bring some games. Hope to see
you there!
Linard
Thank you to everyone who sent
prayers, messages of sorrow and safe trip. Lew’s mother was an important part of
our family and she will be missed. When she was my age she went to several
eVANts and had a good time. Several vanners spent the weekend at the Skoko’s
home in Ohio and the one in Pittsburgh. Mom was an out going person who loved
people. The pain of our loss is still there but we know it will ease with time.
Thank you again for you concerns and well wishes. Friends like you are rare. We
treasure each and every one of you.
Love,
Lew, Agnes and family
Dear Friends,
I have really enjoyed doing the
newsletter. My major goal was to make our newsletter a respected source of
information among vanners, while keeping expenses as reasonable as possible. In
the future, I will help the newsletter editor as much as I can. I did the FVC
Newsletter since 1986. I remember when cut and paste was done with scissors and
glue. So it is time to get some new ideas I hope you will give Randy your full
support. I could not have done this alone. Thank you to everyone who helped over
the years. Agnes
Vice

Dear FVC,
Thanks to all for your calls, emails and cards.
Still going thru some stuff and hope to be able to make it to the Keys.
It's the end of another great VAN year. I've had a lot of fun.
The Pig Roast is upon us. Don't forget your favorite, filled, covered dish and
some tall tales for the camp fire. If you have eVANt ideas, officer nominations
or games to play, bring 'em with you.
Looking forward to Vanners4Vanners in January.
Have a safe Holidays. Be kind to one another.
Cari
November is here,
the keys are history, and it’s time for one of my favorite FVC meetings, The Pig
Roast when we get to eat lots of good food and pig.
Our last FVC meeting
was awesome, Jr. and Glenda are great hosts. We had a good turnout even though
the meeting started a little late. Everybody who made it a weekend had a great
time. Everybody just relaxed and let the good times roll. I know that Jr. must
have put something in the pool water cause it really made us act funny (I’ve
seen the video, Oop).
Sorry I missed the
keys but I have a Van to build hopefully by May so I’ll just have to enjoy the
stories.
The remaining eVANts
are all fun and don’t cost much. Make a note of the dates for the Pig Roast, The
holiday parties, Rick’ New Years, and the Freeze for All ( I meant Vanners for
Vanners ). So make plans to go vanning, we have a good time, good food, and it’s
a great way to unwind.
To Lew and Agnes,
Carol and I are extremely sorry for your loss, no matter what the situation
losing a loved one always hurts.
K.O.V. …Buffalo
Bob
P.S. Vote for Me!!

Van Council Minutes
Minutes of the September 4,
2010 meeting at Junior and Glenda’s in Englewood are as follows:
Linard called the meeting to order.
Minutes of the June 12,
2010 meeting were read and approved.
There were 9 clubs present and No
Excused Absences (out of 14 clubs total) during
roll call.
Mook
gave the Treasurer's report.
Linard
noted that it’s time to get your pre-reg in for the Keys eVant.
FVC NEWSLETTER UPDATE:
Agnes
noted that we need toner for the big printer. It’s lasted about 1 ½ years. We
print 100 – 125 copies on each issue.
She
also noted that we need a volunteer to do the newsletter. Gnarly volunteered,
to a round of applause, to take over the newsletter. Linard noted that we need
to give many thanks to Lew & Agnes for faithfully keeping the newsletter going
for so many long hears. He noted that it is the longest running vanning
newsletter, since 1976. In fact, as far as we know, Florida Van Council,
Wisconsin Van Council, Northeast Ohio Van Congress, New Zealand, and OFV are the
only councils who still print a hard copy newsletter.
Judith
noted a minor correction to the current issue of the newsletter. In her
article, she mentioned that you should see the Newseum in Washington, DC if
you’re ever up there. The spell checker must have “corrected” it to Museum, and
there are a lot of those in DC. However, this is a new museum which is
dedicated to “News”, hence the name “Newseum”.
MEETING
DATES FOR REMAINDER OF 2010:
Date |
Location |
November 13 |
St. Cloud –
Floridian R.V. Resort – Pig Roast and Election of Officers |
OLD
BUSINESS:
Judith is working on
getting van trophies for the Keys eVANt. $26 plus extra stuff, like getting the
plaques to go on the trophies.
NEW BUSINESS:
The
Keys Truck-in: The group concluded
that we would not have a band. Spookytooth noted that a friend of Chet’s was
quoted $75 per night for staying at the campground before and after the eVANt.
That’s not right. The special vanner rate is supposed to be in effect for
vanners for a week before the eVant and 2 weeks after. Be sure and call the
local number, 305-872-2217 and ask for Marlene. Don’t bother with the 800
number. Those folks don’t know anything about the special event rates.
Judith noted that she could
get new FVC window stickers for $15. That’s for the large one that pretty much
fills up the back window. See Judith if you’re interested.
The
NATS Board has a printable copy of the “Vanners Helping Vanners” booklet on
their website, www.natsboard.com

Spookytooth noted that it’s just like we’re at Junior and Glenda’s’. There will

Contest. We don’t expect many trick-or-treaters, so bring the candy that you
like to eat, in case end up eating it.

Cari

Marina Cove, St. Petersburg, FL. www.Holiday-Inn.com/marinacove-ss It is
a small “Mom & Pop” hotel, South of St. Pete. 150 rooms at $89/night (up to 4
in a room). It is self-contained. There is a restaurant on-site, as well as a
playground and playroom for the kids. We can reserve the entire hotel for
Vanners so we don’t have to worry about noise complaints, etc.
There is a “super shuttle”
available for $20 a head. We can explore other shuttle options later. There
are 3 airports available; Tampa, Clearwater, and Sarasota. We can raffle off
some rooms for fund raising purposes. The hotel is located on the Bay.
A
motion by Linard that the FVC propose to host the 2012 CofC meeting at the 2011
CofC meeting was carried by a unanimous hand vote.
The
deadline for inputs to the next newsletter is October 8, 2010.
FVC
dues are due at the next meeting. That meeting is election of officers, and the
annual Pig Roast, so bring a covered dish on November 13.
Cari
made a motion to adjourn and the meeting was concluded.
Respectfully submitted,

Hello Vanners!
2011 Newsletter Editor
‘Gnarly’ here saying get your address books up to date, and mail those articles,
pictures, videos, letters, news items, QR codes, and emails to me now: please
use
news@floridavancouncil.com for any email items, or find me on Facebook … just
search for ‘captain gnarly’. My full address will also be found elsewhere in
this newsletter!!
2010 has been a year of
change for me, and several vanners close to me as well. Please don’t be shy and
come ask me “what’s up” if something is on your mind, just remember I don’t play
the gossip game! I do however welcome the opportunity to set things straight,
and if you feel I have wronged anyone…please tell me, or at least give me the
opportunity of explaining my view on any particular situation. As many of you
know, my heart is and always will be in Vans & most importantly, the Vanners. My
vanning family has watched me grow up(haha) ok let’s stick with older…how ‘bout
this, I love all of you!
The 2010 tourist season
here in West coast FLA has been terrible, however I welcome the opportunity that
this created! We the FVC will be putting in a bid to host the CofC 2012 right
here in my back yard! Well a hotel not too far away – A hotel that we the FVC
will have entire run of for Friday & Saturday!
I am not sure if ya’ll know how much I dislike California (no disrespect Left
coasters) however I will be making every effort to attend the 2011 CofC in CA, &
I suggest you do the same to support the effort of the FVC.
Great
showing up in GSVR! Wish I was there with ya’s, but due to the Gnarly & Mook
show going to the Bahamas for a lot of October and being able to still make it
to the Keys, we couldn’t make it, but sounded like I shoulda been there anyway!
If ya missed the last FVC meeting/ birthday party/ house party at Jr. &
Glenda’s, well you missed it big…what else to say, but thanks to OOP for the
posting of the water aerobics video!!
I
do look forward to the next many years of Vanning in FLORIDA & beyond!

shots, a roast dinner, shrimp & dip, mac & cheese, pasta salad, meatball subs &
the famous 15 bean soup, birthday cake, cupcakes & cookies, we love & ate it
all, Jr. made his toasted cheese with bacon for breakfast, there was so much
more too, it was all delicious!! Judith got us decked out in FVC t-shirts! Fun &
laughter was everywhere! How about that synchronized swimming routine??!! & The
hysterical Arcade duck?! Shower caps and all, Jr. cleared the lania by shooting
everyone with his water noodle. Chet went home a day early by accident!? We
even videotaped with Oop & Jo, so we can be famous on You Tube!! Thanks for the
music & sunflower! Once again the rain didn't stop us from eating, drinking,
playing dice & other stuff. You can't have Labor Day without the rain. We
enjoyed the house full of friends!! See you next year!!
