The 2022 Annual General Meeting for ROG was held during the National Rally on July 21, 2022 in Shipshewana, Indiana. Here is a brief summary of the meeting:

We had 144 people with 73 Redwood coaches at this year's Rally.

Thanks was expressed to Redwood RV for the ongoing support of owners at the rally once again. They are under no obligation to provide the technical service or dinner and tent sponsorship, and their level of support is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks was expressed to Patti Brown for her years of service to the ROG Board as Secretary. Patti has term-limited on the board but has been an invaluable asset to the Redwood Owners Group.

Thanks was expressed to Lisa Price for her exceptional leadership as the Rally Manager since 2017, and her outstanding organization and execution of the 2022 National Rally.

New Business Discussion. Paul Bridges led discussion on the changing tone of social media, where online discussion, comments and quick retorts can change the tone very quickly and have caused intentional or unintentional offense. We recognize that this is caused by only a small number of participants compared to the number who fully comply with our website and Facebook rules. Many comments and thoughts from the members were shared for the board to consider, concluding with the desire of our group to carefully monitor and report inappropriate comments to a moderator, post the rules of the group in a visible spot, and be mindful of our own comments and the way they might be received. The ROG continues to desire transparency and not "gloss-over" problems that owners are having with their coaches, but the discussion needs to be productive and solution-driven rather than just an avenue for venting.

Respectfully submitted,

Paul Bridges, President, Redwood Owners Group
