Idaho Unit of WBCCI
A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Happy April and welcome to spring! Most folks are happy to say goodbye to snowy, cold, windy days and
welcome warm sunshiny weather. Many areas of the country greet the new season with local festivals and
spring flings. Perhaps the most well known festival is the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington,
D.C. Did you know there are 3,700 hundred cherry trees in the nation's capital? North Carolina has the
Azalea afestival. Holland, Michigan and Pella Iowa, both celebrate with Tulip Time. Out west, closer to
home, there's the big Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, the Washington State Apple Blossom
Festival, and the Portland Rose Festival. Local, for many of us in the Idaho Unit, is the Payette Apple
Blossom Festival. When I was "researching" this short article, I was surprised to find a list of 200 "festivals"
in Idaho alone! Of course not all of them are in the spring of the year, but there are lavender festivals, tree
festivals, music festivals of all kind...and even a beer festival. I'm intrigued by that one, but I'll leave it for
another article. Another website lists 153 festivals in Oregon. And for the sports fans among us, myself
included, two other big things are happening: college football is underway for another season with spring
practice, and Major League Baseball has wrapped up spring training and opening day is already behind us.
Fact is, there's a spring festival or event for just about any person's hobby, activity, interest or
involvement. So what do all these festivals, spring flings, and sporting events really commemorate? At first
glance they commemorate national, regional, and local icons. But it's safe to
say there's a deeper reason: spring is the time of year when we tend to
become more active and mobile, when we revitalize our friendships and
become reinvigorated with our outdoor hobbies and/or avocations. It is a
season of renewal of all things.
Please note that I've purposefully not listed yard work, window washing,
spring cleaning, pressure washing or painting as worthwhile spring
endeavors. However, washing, provisioning, and preparing our Airstreams
and tow vehicles for the first rally at Hagerman does warrant due diligence,
and I hope all members have those tasks well underway and are making
plans to be there for a good time, good food, and our general meeting. It'll be
a great sight when all of those "silver bullets" are gleaming and neatly
aligned. See you there! ~Bill Lawrence

Airstream Rallies & Caravans-A Sense of Community by Marilyn Collins, Rally Coordinator
A new camping season is fast approaching -- are you and your Airstream ready? Have you shed those winter blahs and are you looking
forward to fresh spring air? Have you de-winterized, checked the tires, water systems, batteries, etc., etc.? The Idaho Unit Directory
contains some helpful hints for preparing your rig for camping. And we can share new hints around the campfires during the season.
Have you sent in the current reservation coupons to the Rally hosts (and to the Caravan Leaders) yet? Your early response helps them
plan scheduled events and excellent meals for our enjoyment. Plus it's a chance to meet new people and greet old friends, to catch up on
the latest news.
That's what rallies do -- create a sense of community, even if it's only for a few days a year. It's been said that we can continue a
conversation where we left off at our last get-together, even months later.
So, check the schedule and join your WBCCI community during the upcoming rally and caravan season, hopefully at more than one!
