SUN WHEELERS

June 2019 Newsletter

The Sunwheelers became a chapter in the FMCA in 1974.  We are made up of campers that like to have fun.  Our demographic center is Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.  We meet once a month with the exception of July and August.  Rallies are normally the 2nd weekend of the month and are scheduled at locations 125-175 miles from Jacksonville, FL.  However, there are exceptions to the rule.  Our rallies are held on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and end after breakfast on Sunday morning.

Thursday is for setting up and sitting outside in our lawn chairs to catch up with one another. On Friday mornings (weather permitting), golfers take off for a round of golf.  The rest of the the group may attend an organized luncheon/event, do a little sight-seeing, and/or work a puzzle.  Then, we all join back together at 3 p.m. for Happy Hour and go out to dinner that evening.  Saturday morning breakfast is served by our volunteer weekend host/hostess.  The group may meet up after 10 a.m. to have a corn hole tournament, play bingo, puzzle or play cards.  Happy Hour is at 3 p.m.  Dinner is served by our volunteer host/hostess with everyone bringing a side dish or dessert.  Then, sometimes a short business meeting will follow dinner.  The Sunwheelers will close the evening with card playing, puzzling, or sitting around a good old campfire socializing or playing trivia. On Sunday morning, a continental breakfast is served by our volunteer host/hostess.  One thing for sure, you will never go away hungry.

Also, we have activities throughout the year that support designated charities.  The friends you make will become lifelong friends.  Sometimes, we think the weekends are just not long enough.  If you would like to experience a weekend as a Sunwheeler, please contact me at the information listed below.  It is our policy to require prospective members to attend 2 rallies in their RV before submitting their application to join the Sunwheelers.
