Annual Rate Survey ... SUCCESS!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Earlier this week Verna sent an urgent appeal to our members asking them to complete the 2009 Annual Rate Survey -- and many parks responded! As of today we have 96 out of 333 parks who have submitted their rate statistics -- thank you!

As a part of this process, it came to light that five parks had already submitted their statistics, but weren't on the list ... so our apologies to the Springs at Borrego, Twenty Nine Palms RV Resort, Flag City RV Resort, Movin' West RV Park, and Coachland RV Park. These parks all responded on the same day and their submissions were overlooked.

Thanks to everyone who has participated ... we can now compile meaningful reports. Please check this list to verify we have received your submission. If not, you have one last chance to participate!
