It must be so exciting to meet a fellow DVCer. I know for this new member, it would be! What's disappointing, though, is that I'm probably the only DVCer south of Corpus Christi. So where y'all from and what resort do you own? I'll start-Rio Grande Valley of Texas, owner at VWL.

I live in Pekin, IL. (That's near Peoria) We own at OKW. There are 4 DVC members at our church. I think that we started a chain reaction. We have a family at each WDW resort, one at OKW (us), BWV (pastor and his wife), WLV, and BCV. Boy every Sunday you can gaurantee there will be some WDW or DVC discussion during coffee and donuts. There's also a member where my husband works and at the school I used to teach at.

Bought in to OKW in April '97 (our 5th year anniversary this year!), and into Vero last year.
Didn't know of any DVC members around here when we first bought in, but have met a few since then.
Hey Stevie Kay - tell "the beast" we said "Hi!" My maiden name is "McLean," and I dream of getting out your way some day to visit!! I have a cousin who's going over soon for his first visit, and is just happening to be there for a McLean reunion that takes place every 4 years, in Skye, I believe...

I've lived in Lawrence too. I Love Billerica but still a warm place in my heart for that area.
I've seen eeyore2u post and chuckle to myself I probably ride by them often on my way to the mall. I'm always watching for the DVC licence plates.

My husband only shoveled our driveway twice this winter, which is amazing for Rochester. Having grown up in Virginia Beach most of my life, I did not miss the snow, except on Christmas. However, many of our friends and their kids were extremely disappointed, as skiing, sledding and snowmobiling were impossible.
However, if they really wanted to see some snow, all they had to do is head west 70 miles to Buffalo; our neighbors to the West were hit hard a few times by snow.

Guess I better check in from the state of South Dakota. We live in Sioux Falls the largest metropolis in the state (130,000-- approx.). We don't know any dvc owners. We've BWV owners since 99 and just bought at BCV. Most people just don't get it. We do know one family from Yankton, SD who go to WDW a couple times each the year, but don't own dvc. Looking forward to going to "Boardwalk" ( my four year olds name for all things WDW) in 57 days.

Hi to everyone! We live in Lenoir City, TN which is about 24 miles south of Knoxville and about a 45 minute drive from Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mts. We purchased DVC over the phone in 1996 after vacationing at Vero and Hilton Head. Our Home Resort is Vero Beach and we also have an add-on at OKW. We recently used points for the DVC 10th Anniversary Cruise which proved to be one of our best DVC experiences to date. Hoping they'll offer more member get-togethers in the future:)

I see someone else from Rochester is thinking about a DVC breakfast club - might be fun. There are 3 families in Hornell that are members so we might be able to come together.
