Treasure Coasters 

   travel across the Sunshine State

           Members reap benefits

     as a caring group of RVr's 

The Family Motor Coach Association of which we are a chapter of has been extremely busy revising it’s eligibility rules, it’s website and the magazine. At it’s fall executive board meeting FMCA voted to accept self contained towable RV’s into it’s membership and the members followed suit at the international rally in Perry, GA. With the action taken above by-laws of individual chapters now need to be revised at the chapter’s discretion to allow towable RV members to hold a chapter office. The Treasure Coasters chapter is changing the by-law wording accordingly.
