Escapees January-February 2023

In 2023, We Resolve • to do our best each and every day to serve the needs of Escapees members. • to constantly evaluate and improve services we provide and to ensure they are operating at the highest level achievable. • to remain strong RVer advocates and continue to monitor issues that could adversely affect RVers’ rights. • to seek out and provide new programs and create bene fi ts that enhance member value. • to improve digital tools for members that will provide a more convenient and functional account management. • to target improvement projects at various Escapees RV Parks and work hard to accom plish them. • to support the staff and to reduce barriers by providing the tools and assistance needed in order and thereby create a strong, effective environment. • to expand our community and event offerings to create more ways to connect with fellow club members. • to encourage member feedback and their suggestions on how Escapees can better the RV lifestyle and club membership. • to inspire members to assist in spreading the word about Escapees so that the club can thrive, grow and remain fi nancially sound, and also so more types of bene fi ts and services can be added in the future. • to keep the legacy in which founders, Joe and Kay Peterson, set forth and to maintain our caring and sharing attitude so we can keep community as the heart and soul of Escapees RV Club.

As we stand back and look beyond our canvas edge, we see a grand portrait, a vision, a dream to create the best club possible for RV enthusiasts. But like a photo mosaic, when inspected at close range, this dream reveals thousands of smaller images working together to build a single portrait. Each having their own impact, while small, they all are an integral piece of something more. These images reveal more than 180,000 members who have called themselves SKPs. So, thank you! Your acts of volunteering, kindness, support and passion are what makes up the larger picture de fi ning what Escapees has been and what it will become. Here at HQ, we are ready to also do our part as 2023 is set to be another wild year with project ideas that are sure to fi ll our to-do lists! In addition to our ongoing goal to keep the entire network of services meeting the highest standards, staff is continually looking for ways to improve member bene fi ts and expand services. Support, events, education, partnerships, campgrounds and serviceability, to name a few, there is certainly no time to delay!
