Winnebago and Friends Chapter was chartered in October of 2008 and functions in the geographical Great Lakes Area (GLA) of Michigan, Ontario, Ohio and Indiana. Our members also volunteer at our annual Area Rally and our National Rally when held in our area. As of June 2011 we currently have less than 30 member coaches and have many member coaches in attendance at our rallies. There are usually 5 to 6 monthly rallies a year presently held within the GLA, beginning with the GLASS Rally held in Berrien Springs, Michigan at the end of May and continuing through September or October. Our Rallies promote fellowship, social activities, good food, and entertainment, and are typically held between Monday and Thursday unless specific events or activities require a weekend where our rally would start on a Friday and end on Sunday. Some of us will arrive or extend up to a day or two as there are always many activities in our rally areas. Rally costs have typically ranged from as little as $75.00 to $125.00 per coach and include camping and some meals depending on venue.
