The Lazydays Chef will also be doing a Presentation, "Unlocking the Mystery’s of Microwave/Convection Oven Cooking" on Thursday, February 13th at 1:30PM;

I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH THAT IT VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE NEED AS MANY MEMBERS ATTENDING THESE SEMINARS AS POSSIBLE. THE PRESENTERS ARE THERE FOR YOU AND TO GIVE YOU VALUABLE AND UPDATED INFORMATION AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. IT IS GETTING VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE PRESENTERS TO COME AND PARTICIPATE WHEN NO ONE SHOWS UP FOR THEIR PRESENTATION.
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT THAT INTERESTED IN THE TOPIC THAT IS BEING PRESENTED, EVERY MEMBER SHOULD ATTEND THE SEMINAR OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE PERSON WHO IS GIVING UP THIER TIME TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION TO YOU. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT LEARN!

The following is the Preliminary Schedule and Seminar Agenda for the 2020 Monacoers's Gathering.

ALL THE PRESENTATIONS/SEMINARS ARE OPEN TO ALL THE LADIES, PLEASE ATTEND!!!!!

Hello Frank,

I called Lazy Days today and confirmed our attendance.

Justin could only confirm our Monacoers site from Feb 11th to Feb 15th, he could NOT confirm site for Feb 16th.  However he did charge my credit card for the full amount of $533, saying this was a new policy to apply charges as soon as the site was reserved.  He recommended i call back everyday to see if they have had a cancelation for Feb 16th, thereby freeing up a site for Sat night.  

This info may be important should others attempt to sign up.

Enjoy this day.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are no longer able to attend this Gathering.  I am cancelling our Lazy Days reservation now.  Hope you have enough to still hold this Gathering. Hopefully we will be able to attend next year.  We are so sorry for this last minute cancellation.

Just came back from our mechanics shop and although he did what he could to resolve the fuel line issues, he won't have it done in time for us to make the gathering and will cancel with Lazy Days tomorrow in the a.m. when they reopen.

We were looking forward to the gathering and meeting some fine people.

But we know you all may have been under similar circumstances and that RV'ing comes with many issues, some easy to resolve and others not.

Best wishes to you all, have great meet and hopefully down the road we can participate in another one.

Best regards,
