PROGRAM

Bill McLaughlin talked about travels in the motor home with “Charlie” the dog doll. Rosemary and Bill have had the opportunity to travel border to border, coast to coast several times; the trips include many, many side trip to all of the lower 48 states.

They attended the 2005 Rotary International Convention in Chicago, and camped in the lot at Soldier Field right near the McCormick Center with 150 fellow Rotarians ala The Fellowship of Rotary. Great time.

Traveling offers many opportunities to make-up Rotary meetings across the land.

They are leaving next week for a trip to Wisconsin, staring in Madison to attend a FMCA, Family Motor Coach Association, convention in Madison.  Then onto Baraboo, WI for a two week Habitat for Humanity build.

Bill spoke to the club about his journeys around the country with wife Rosemary in his huge motor home! The map is pinned where they visited.
