January News
While the Media is still swirling all about the covid, we have a lot
of news.
Don Noone has stepped down from the Nationals Board. Don was
instrumental for Years in the
promotion of vanning and the National Truck-in®. We Thank him for his many years of dedication
to the Nationals.
Taking his place is Amy Hale from Ohio. Amy has been spotted
at van runs all over the place
helping out where ever needed. Welcome Amy. She is a valuable addition to our Board.
From our support staff we have 3 members advancing to
National Board Alternates.
Brad Phillips from CA, Ken "superbeast" from NJ,
and Ben McDonough from PA.
Welcome Gentlemen.
Amy and guys, roll up your sleeves, we've got a lot of work
ahead of us.
The biggest news, the host for the 49th Nationals is pulling
out all of
the stops for this year’s Nationals. If you don't know what
the Burning Man
Event that is held in Nevada every year is, go goggle it
right now. This years
crew has modeled this year’s Nats from that event. All the
wild lights and
craziness. From the return of the N.U.T.S. bus, to the
Tunnel of Light, Building
a wood van and burning it to the ground, it will be very
entertaining.
Remember you cannot enter the grounds for early camping
unless you pre-register!
