The "East Coast VAC Rally" will be held during the dates of "June 19, 2008-June 23, 2008" which is a Thurs-Monday. The rally will be held at the "KOA" in "Staunton, Virginia". Staunton, Virginia is located off I-81 between I-66 & I-64 in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.

The "KOA" offers things for the family with kids and the kids at heart. Nestled within a 1½ Miles Horse Shoe Bend of Middle River. SVKOA is the only campground in Virginia with a spectacular Waterfall and four 6-person Indoor Hot Tubs. We offer Free Wi-Fi, River Tubing, Wading and Trout and Bass Fishing in the River as well as Trout and Bass Fishing in our Well-Stocked Lake. We have a Huge Pool and a Kiddie Pool, 18 Hole Mini-Golf, Game Room and Two Playgrounds and Nature Trails.Be greeted by our Tame Bunnies, Squirrels, and Ducks on your way to the Pitstop Cafe for a Pizza. Pitch Horseshoes, play sand Volleyball or cool off under the refreshing Waterfall. On summer nights sing Karaoke (Fridays) and dance to our DJ (Saturdays).

Here's how you need to sign up for the rally. "You need" to call the "campground" and make your own reservations. Let them know you are with the "Airstream" group. Since their sites range in size, we ask those of you that have the smaller trailers (16-21 footers) please let them know (we're trying to save the longer sites for longer trailers).

I have on hold 48 sites that have water/elec ($34-37 a night). They have about 12 more sites that have water/elec/sewer ($39-42 a night) that require a credit card to hold them (I was not going to use my personal credit card to hold these). They also have many other sites at the campgound that can be used.

I have the 48 campsites are on hold until 30 days before the rally, at that time, "ALL" campsites are released to the general public. The other campsites (water/elec/sewer) can be held by anyone and anytime (general public) by using a credit card. Again, I "do not" have these on hold.

My thought is this, in an "attempt" to please everyone:

Sign up for the rally is open to only "WBCCI" members until "March 17, 2008". On "March 1, 2008" the rally is open to "ALL" Airstream owners.

I do want to make a (personal) offer to all "non-WBCCI" owners out their that have a vintage Airstream trailer (25 yrs or older) that would like to attend. If you have a need/want to use the early "WBCCI" sign-up option, if you sign-up for the WBCCI before "March 1, 2008", "I will pay" the added $20.00 dues to become a member of the "VAC" for the first year! But, you "must" attend the rally and "must" become a "WBCCI" member "prior" to March 1, 2008. At the rally, we will fill out the "VAC" paperwork and send it in with a check from "my checkbook"!!!

I can't do anymore than that!!

I'll send out an agenda later.

Please email me letting me know you have signed up.
