                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ladies & Gentlemen,

At the 2019 Rally we mentioned that we were planning to develop a new website. I am pleased to advise that we are working diligently on this project and have accomplished our first project milestone - the design and uploading of content is now complete.

However, it will be a few months before it is readily available, as we have just started a small group initial test phase. During the next 2 weeks, I have provided access to the Board of Directors and an additional 4 previous Board members, requesting they thoroughly test the menu, links, content, sign-up, log-in, etc.

In early September, provided no major issues are found, I will be recruiting a slightly larger Beta test group to further tests on a multitude of different devices, operating systems, etc.

If all goes well, at this time I anticipate making the new website available to everyone in October/November. Our plan is to operate both websites in parallel, for a number of months to ensure we have addressed all issues and receive additional feedback, before shutting down the current website.

The set-up was not overly challenging for a non-web design person, but when we eventually move it to the current domain, I will definitely require some technical assistance from somebody with considerably more website design & domain management experience than me.

Therefore, in the next few months, I am requesting some assistance from member(s) that work in IS/IT, specifically with website design (Wordpress) and moving websites between domains.

In addition, if you wish to participate in the Beta test group next month, please drop me an email - president@redwoodrvowners.com or reply in this thread.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are proposed changes to the By-Laws to be voted on at the 2019 AGM. The By-laws posted on the website are Version 3.0, which is outdated, however Version 4.0 had very minor changes.

There are changes and deletions which should be reviewed before the membership can vote to accept them.  All changes are in <span style="color:red;">RED</span>.  Deletions have a <span style="color:red;"><s>strikethrough</s></span>. All changes/additions are <i><span style="color:red;">italicized</span></i>.

I encourage everyone to look at the proposed changes (<span style="color:red;"><i>Version 5.0</i></span>) before the Rally.  In particular, please look at 5.1.3.  It infers that Non-Attendees of the National Rally (AGM) will not have a vote, and the Board of Directors will decide if they will let you vote.  Considering the amount of Rally attendees is limited by the ROG, and the membership role being the majority - a small group of members will decide the direction of the ROG and the majority will have no say-so.  I hope this is not the case.

If the attachment does not work, please p/m me and I will e-mail you the document.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ladies & Gentlemen,

A number of months ago, one of the members inquired regarding the possibility of introducing a lifetime membership option. I am pleased to advise that we have discussed this and are pleased to introduce a new membership option.

<b>Lifetime Membership Option</b>

 - Effective immediately, the Board of Directors is pleased to add an additional option to the existing 1 and 2-year membership terms.
 - We will have up to 25 lifetime memberships available, which is about 10% of the membership.
 - The rate will be 10 times the annual (1-year) rate, for a total of $150.00 However, as many owners have recently renewed, credit will be provided for any full year(s) left outstanding on an existing membership. No credit for memberships with less than 1 year remaining.
 - In recognition of the service provided by past and current Board members and rally managers, we will provide those volunteers with the option to sign up. That option is available for 2 weeks. All remaining lifetime memberships will then be available on a first come basis.

If you are interested in a lifetime membership, please send a request to president@redwoodrvowners.com I will compile a list of interested members, in the order which they were received.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ladies & Gentlemen,

A number of members have questioned the removal of the ROG link from the Redwood RV Website, since it was updated last December.

With assistance from my contact at Redwood, I have finally found where the link is now located.

On the Redwood RV page, in the top header, select "About Crossroads" On the next page, on the black menu line, select "About Redwood", which is the 2nd from the left. Scroll down and the link becomes visible.

Since I would never have found it without assistance, I have asked if it can be placed on the main page, under "Owners".]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ladies & Gentlemen,

I am pleased to announce the ROG's latest initiative, our very own merchandising store which currently retails "Redwood" branded merchandise. We are currently developing a high resolution ROG graphic, so ROG branded items will be added at a later date.

We have received many requests for this initiative and my thanks go out to Paul Bridges (Vice-President), who has worked for many months finding an option for a small non-profit, with no physical office, and that is managed entirely by volunteers.

The store is an online retailer where we have created a virtual store. They receive the orders, print the products ordered and ship directly to the member.

Before ordering from the store, please read the Return & Exchange Policy, which is located in FAQ.

For all of us that were unable to attend the rally, I note that Paul has added a replica 2018 Rally T-shirt.

The link to the store is located in the "Main Menu" at the top of the left sidebar. It is located directly below the "Amazon" link. (If I have figured out the software correctly, it should be visible to all)]]></content:encoded>

Many months ago the Board created an objective to post the Board Minutes and Financial Reports, which would be accessible to Paid ROG members for their review. It isn't something we can do easily, so we have opted for an alternative work-around.

Effective immediately, any Paid Member, in good standing, may submit an email request for copies of the Minutes or Financials back to the previous AGM. Please forward any request to president@redwoodrvowners.com

I also remind everyone that the entire Board is comprised of volunteers, as we have no paid staff. Therefore, please allow us a few days to respond and action any requests.]]></content:encoded>
