Additional Caravan Captains Named
The third group of our captains for 2014 has been selected and all are experienced caravaners and most with previous captain duties. They will be putting together their organizing teams in the near future and will be calling on those in their areas for assistance. We urge those planning on participating in the 2014 caravan to volunteer early to help them so a high level of refinement can be reached in time to ensure the smoothest, most satisfying caravan yet!
