A message to NJ Unit members as we head into the 2026 Airstream season.
From the President's Desk: #Adventure! Begins
An update on new initiatives, upcoming events, and an invitation for member input as we build momentum for the 2026 season.
Dear New Jersey Unit Members,
I hope this note finds you well as we head toward spring and a new Airstream season.
Our Executive Board met earlier this quarter and focused on strengthening communication, structure, and member engagement. Behind the scenes, we’ve been working to make it easier for everyone to stay informed, get involved, and get out adventuring.
That work includes:
• A refreshed NJ Unit website
• A newly launched Facebook page
• The return of our Unit newsletter
• A renewed emphasis on participation
All of it supports our 2026 theme: #Adventure!
Adventure doesn’t have to mean a caravan or major rally. It can be as simple as a weekend meet-up, overlapping campground stays, or reconnecting at Jersey Shore Haven.
Your Voice Matters — Just Hit Reply
Rather than sending a formal survey, I’d love to hear directly from you. Even a one-sentence reply is helpful.
• What types of activities interest you most this year?
• What makes it harder for you to participate?
• Would you join informal, member-led meet-ups this summer?
• Would you be willing to help in a small way (welcoming members, coordinating light food, event planning, etc.)?
Your responses will directly shape what we focus on next.
Upcoming Dates
May 14 – Region 2 Rally (Pocono Raceway)
May 30 – Executive Board Meeting & Member Meet-and-Greet (Jersey Shore Haven)
Following our in-person Executive Board meeting, we’ll open the floor for member questions and then transition into a casual meet-and-greet. This is a great opportunity to connect with the Board, ask questions, share ideas, and simply spend time together.
July 24 – Joint Rally with Central PA Unit (Jersey Shore Haven)

Sometimes the best adventures start with:
“Anyone around this weekend?”
Thank you for being part of the New Jersey Unit. Whether you’re long-time members or new to the club, your involvement matters.
Here’s to a year full of #Adventure!
Warm regards,
James Lorden
President, New Jersey Unit
