Member to display photos from 1965 gathering

FMCA’s California chapter held its formation meeting in February 1965 at Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.

At FMCA's 2008 convention at Fairplex, attendees can view photos of motorhomes present at that gathering.

Jim and Ginny Holifield, L387, were among the founding members of the California chapter, two years after the startup of FMCA. Look for Jim’s photos in the outdoor display area.

Jim, the California chapter’s third president and national director, also will answer questions about the history of the chapter.

The photos represent a time when the California chapter, chartered in June 1965, was the only FMCA chapter in California. Today, FMCA has 60 chapters in the state.

“Fun and Friendship” is the motto of the chapter, which has approximately 286 members.

Flxible conversions, the same coach depicted on FMCA’s logo, are among the motorhomes shown in Jim’s photos.
