The following is a summary of the efforts and activities of the SNU in 2007.
SNU membership continued to grow. The Unit gained 10 new members in 2007 and ended the year with a total of 29 members.
Four rallies held in 2007 included people who were attending their first SNU rally. Four of these were new SNU members. Two joined at the rally they attended. Two long time members also attended their first rallies in 2007. We welcomed visitors at several rallies including two at Washoe Lake and four at Twin Lakes.
We held rallies in two new locations, both scouted out by SNU members.
More SNU members have been suggesting and checking out potential sites for future rallies. Several of which will be included in the 2008 rally schedule.
The SNU had an elected delegate attend the WBCCI International Rally in Perry Georgia.
The SNU increased member participation in Unit activities and management. This participation included increased attendance at rallies, members taking responsibility for rally and luncheon arrangements, and members coordinating service projects and special activities at rallies.
The task of getting public service announcements in local media changed hands and the SNU's new media relations person has begun getting posting in the on-line Reno Gazette calendar of events complete with pictures. He has also begun establishing relationship with key people in several media outlets.
The design and layout of the SNU newsletter and the printing and mailing of the snail mail copies have also changed hands and are being done successfully by two different members. They have ensured that there is no lapse in the publication of the newsletter.
The SNU continued its involvement in civic and service opportunities. We did some clean up of the campground and restrooms at Ramhorn Springs. We worked with SNU member Rick LaBorde and the Friends of the Toyabe to do some clean up at the Obsidian Dome rally site. SNU members, with tarps donated by Soda Lake Geothermal covered a unique Airstream at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum to protect it from winter weather. The current SNU President has begun communications with the Director of the Museum regarding the SNU taking on the task of refurbishing the 42ft Airstream custom built for the railroad. For the third year, the SNU had representatives at the local Airstream dealer open house.
The SNU continued our effort at being a good neighbor. Three SNU members participated in rallies held by other WBCCI Units. The SNU had guests from San Joaquin Unit participate in the Obsidian Dome rally. The SNU has made overtures to several adjoining WBCCI Units regarding the possibility of a future joint rally. SNU members continue seeking out other Airstream owners, telling them about the SNU and asking about their Airstream experiences. Guests and visitors are always welcome at our rallies and meetings.
“It's the Airstreams that bring us together but it's the people who keep us together”
Jerry Thornburg (2797) describing the SNU
"The WBCCI is an exclusive club because not everyone owns an Airstream! The idea is to get out and have fun with your RV - with friends who share common interests." Bryan R. Leipper (772)
