The Kentucky unit is a "more mature" unit but full of some of the coolest people I have ever met.
* Not overly concerned with regalia - we had our installation rally in t-shirts and sandals.
* Some of the best campfire storytellers I have ever heard. Also some of the best senses of humor I have encountered.
* Solid support - case in point, one member became ill during the last rally. He had to be taken to the hospital and was in no shape to drive his rig & toad back. As you might imagine, his wife was distressed and while capable of handling the problem was pretty focused on family. Within two hours the group had a visitation chain going and 2 members (that were not at the rally) dropped everything to come down, spend the night at the local lodge, and drive the rig back to their home.
* Friendly to a fault - when I pull in (they do this with everyone) the president and at least a few members will run over to your unit and greet you- see if you need anything and make you feel welcome.
* Dues are only a dollar - go figure.
Every group had intrinsic problems but -- I read about difficult personalities in WBCCI but to date I really haven’t met any.
Planning on staying a member for a while longer...
