The
first meeting of East Texas Lakes Unit (ETLU ) was held at Tyler State
Park on February 21, 1970. The first rally was held at Daingerfield State
Park, April 3-5 1970, with twenty nine trailers. After much discussion
the name East Texas Lakes Unit was adopted. Today
we have 100 members. All members are retired except 2 families.
This year our unit had 6 rallies and 3 luncheons.
Many of our members attended the Region 9 Rally and some are planning
to attend the International Rally.
ETLU covers an area from Dallas and Greenville to
the north, Ft. Worth and Hillsboro to the west, Rusk to the south and
Texarkana to the east.
Some of our members are unable to continue traveling
with their rigs due to health problems. New members are welcome to
join our unit and enjoy the rallies and luncheons. Many of our rallies
include tours that have been planned by the host and hostess, also
games, food, and fellowship.

Texas Alamo Unit, #168
San Antonio and Surrounding Area
Homepage
The Texas Alamo Unit of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International (WBCCI) was founded on October 30,1977. That weekend
nine families who were members of the WBCCI gathered at Lockhart State
Park, Texas, to formulate thebylaws and initiate the procedure to obtain
a WBCCI charter. The Unit was specifically founded to accommodate Airstream
owners who were not able to routinely travel great distances. The Unit
Charter was granted and the Texas Alamo Unit assumed its place in Region
9 of the WBCCI.
Unit
rallies are normally held a maximum of 100 miles from San Antonio. However,
for reasons of geographical variety and campground availability, the rule
may be occasionally altered.
The incoming Unit President schedules rallies for
his/her presidential year for the months of October, November, January,
February, March, April, May, and September. The September rally will be
used for the installation of new Officers and Directors for the coming
year. All rallies are scheduled to start with an opening ceremony late
in the afternoon of the fourth Friday of each rally month. The rally ends
after breakfast and a devotional service the following Sunday.
On the First Saturday of each month, September through
May, the Unit holds a supper meeting at a local restaurant in the San
Antonio area.

Houston and surrounding area
The
Texas Coastal Plains Unit covers about a 100 mile radius around the Greater Houston area although we have members all over the state and nation. Our
roughly 150 members range in age from young couples with children to great-grandparents. About a third of our members are still actively working. We have a number
of singles who are quite comfortable with our group. Of the 75 rigs represented
there is about an even mix of trailers and motor homes.
We
feature 10 unit rallies a year, two dinners a month, and several caravans
a year. The monthly newsletter helps keep us all in touch. We try to have
our short rallies run from Friday evening to Sunday morning so that those
who are still working or have kids in school can participate. Our members
represent nearly every occupation and interest group. Our programs are
so varied, we are sure that we’ll have some that interest you.

Austin and Surrounding Area
The Texas Highland Lakes Unit is a very active
group representing over seventy Airstream families. Most our
members are from the Austin general area, but others come from as much
as several hundred miles away.
We join for lunch at Luby's Cafeteria in northwest Austin, near the intersection of US183 andRM620, at 1pm on the first Tuesday of every month
except when preempted by a rally. We also schedule occasional "Southside
Gatherings" in San Marcos so that our far-south members can more
conveniently attend.
We hold five formal rallies each year, usually from Thursday through Sunday. A very high proportion of our members also
attend the annual Region 9 Rally and the International Rally. Very often, groups of our members will gather for "not really a rally" informal campouts.
Texas
Highland Lakes
unit has hosted five very successful "vintage rallies", featuring
Airstreams more than 25 years old. The 2010 Texas National Vintage rally will be held at Montgomery, TX on Feb 10-14, 2010.
