| Colorado Rockies The Colorado Rockies have 4 camping musters a year in in some of the most beautiful scenery in the nation. We have a Christmas muster at a resturant or someones home in December, and at least 2 musters in resturants when the snow is on the ground. We have had musters in New Mexico, Wyoming and Nebraska, also traveling musters to the National Parks in southern Utah, and a traveling muster to the Badlands of South Dakota. We try not to go back to the same place twice, unless separated by several years. As you can tell the Rockies don't believe in camping within 50 miles of their home, so come join us for a wild ride.

| Kansas Cavalry Chapter Kansas Cavalry Chapter is a new chapter in S.M.A.R.T.. We do not have a lot of members here in Kansas, but do have a total membership of 21 members. We have many Chapter Friends from Colorado, Missouri and others. Our goal is to offer a compilation of services and benefits to our members. Most of these benefits fall into the intangible category. They’re not something you can hold in your hand. Of course, not every member sees the value of our Military friendship in the same way as others do. We try to have our Musters at interesting locations, also are supporting the on going efforts at Fort Riley to build a FAM CAMP on base. We welcome all Military Veterans to come and visit our Chapter. SHERWIN STIELOW PRESIDENT |
| Missouri Mohawks The Missouri Mohawks chapter was established in 1997 with originally a group of about eight members. Our chapter usually runs between 35-40 members with normally 10-15 rigs showing up for our musters. We try to have our musters close to the middle of the state so that all member will have an equal distance to travel. Most members need to drive no more than two to three hours to attend one of our get together. We try to have our musters in an RV park with a club house so that during the muster we have a comfortable place for all to get together. The members enjoy playing games such as Joker and Pegs, Domino's, poker, and the like. Just enjoying the camaraderie. Annually our goal as a chapter is to visit one of the seven veteran homes in Missouri. We go to visit leaving health and comfort items as well as visiting with the residents. Each year is a different home. New members are always welcome and we try to insure they are involved right from the beginning. Lloyd Barningham Mohawk chapter president |
| North Mid West Region Our Region is very close-knit and caring of one another. Although we encompass 7 states, ND, SD, NE, WY, CO, KS, & MO, at the present time we have chapters in CO, KS, & MO. Our 4 chapters (2 in KS), are active and hold musters all summer - usually May - September. Some of the chapters hold luncheons through the winter months at their favorite restaurants. Each chapter finds time and money to donate to local veteran organizations such as hospitals, nursing care facilities, etc. There has been contact with a member from SD who is looking to start a new chapter there when he retires. So if you live in that area, please contact me. It is proven that you have the most fun in our organization when you become a member of a chapter and get out and get involved. We have loads of fun together and always welcome newcomers to our musters. We travel extensively around our region and really enjoy "seeing the country we defend". Come out and join us at any muster near you, you'll be glad you did! At our Regional Muster (12-16 May, 2011), we appointed two new Assistant Regional Directors one of which will become the new Regional Director at the National Muster in Shawnee in September. Robert "Bob" Knight (will become the new RD) and Don McDiffett will be his ARD. Bob is out of the Kansas Cavalry, and Don is out of Midway USA. |
