Empire became an offspring to the Mother Northeast Chapter making Empire the First FMCA Chapter in New York State. The Charter was received from FMCA at the Burlington Vermont convention with a membership totaling 107 members as of August 1972. Back then it cost 8 cents to mail a newsletter. Now with modern technology everyone keeps up to date via email with snail mail as requested. We from the beginning have dry camped in snowy weather sometimes and other times have full hookup sites with wifi and wonderful weather. How times have changed. But one thing has not, Empire Families love getting together and having fun and sharing there adventures with family-friends- children-and grandchildren. The first weekend in May starts our season with the hosts picking and planning where they want to go, and what the weekend will consist of. Usually two families work together. But it always ends up everyone pitches in. The first weekend in October is the close of camping for us, It's our annual banquet and election of officer's for the coming year. July 2002 we celebrated 30 years - 48 coaches present and 104 people. Our motto: Family and Friends Having Fun. Join Us.

The Frustrated Maestros Northeast - Yankee Doodle Dandies (YDD's for short) are a group of FMCA members who love to make music and entertain our fellow rally-goers. We play and sing during the morning coffee hour and at various other venues at area rallies and FMCA conventions. Our performers range from "shower singers" to retired band directors and symphony orchestra players. Although some of our members are former professionals, we are NOT a "professional" group. There's no audition! Our chief aim is to have fun with our music, and draw our audience into our enjoyment of what we are doing. Besides the main band and chorus, there are performance opportunities in other groups, such as the Jazz Band and the Dixieland Band. There are also solo and small group opportunities for both instrumentalists and vocalists. Do you have a musical instrument packed away at home or in the coach? Do you like to sing at church or in the shower? Have you performed musically with local theater groups? If so, please come and chat with one of us at our next rally. We are easily recognizable in our red and whites! YDD's who spend the winter in Florida are always encouraged to participate in the Brooksville rally in February, and in the Perry, GA, convention as well, during the years that it is held. If cross-country travel should be in your plans for the coming year, keep in mind that YDD members are always welcome to participate with any of the other Maestro chapters in their area rallies. Dig that high school band instrument out of the closet, pull the keyboard, the guitar, or the banjo out of the coach storage bay, warm up those vocal cords, and COME JOIN US!

Knot Fore Busses Only Chapter - Established 1983, Formerly named For Busses Only, this chapter was chartered on 12/15/83. In the early days, all of the members owned converted buses, which eventually were called Motor Coaches. This common interest in converted buses was the basis for the formation of this FMCA chapter. In January 1997, the name was changed to Knot Fore Busses Only, since many of the original members were retiring their old buses and replacing them with RV's. Today, KFBO still has eight members who own bus conversions, and we are still attracting new members who travel in converted Motor Coaches. We presently have 32 member coaches. Our rally season runs April-October. We try to hold a rally once per month (usually at a campground) but many times we dry camp. We enjoy festivals, flea markets, auto racing, antiquing, etc. We publish a monthly newsletter to keep you informed. We are a great mix of people who have come from all walks of life. We are presently looking for new members who will participate in the continued success of the chapter. Please join us at any rally so you can meet and greet our members.
