Hmmm ... I have not seen and thread about the location of the 2010 rally location? By this time of the year there is always a buzzz about where the next years event will be. And ideas??

Has that been published in the BMW MOA magazine? Where? what page? what dates?

It was here on the forum following the last BOD meeting.

Ambassador, Biergarten co-chair

It was this thread,

That is the way the MOA makes an announcement, they put it in a thread that does not state what it is about.
They don't put it on the web site or in the ON.
You are just supposed to know.
That thread was not an official MOA announcement - it was posted by a forum member who was at (or watched remotely) the last board meeting.It was this thread,

I'm sure it will show up in the ON, though it's likely they are focused on Johnson City, and you will see it printed after the rally is over. That still gives people a year to plan. If you need to know these things sooner, you can always head to St. Louis for a board meeting (or get online and watch the webcast from home).
The "Official Announcement" is always published in the October issue of the BMW Owners News. This is done out of respect for the current national rally.
From the minutes of the April Board meeting:
Our big announcement is the 2010 Rally site has been selected. We are returning to Redmond, OR. Deb Lower and Stan Hermann will be Rally Chair/co-Chair. July 14-18, 2010.

Thank you

Are you guys simply jerking my chain? I thought they never announced before the end of the actually ongoing rally.
Anyways, the jury is still out on Redmond, OR and certainly if it was already an actual former Rally Site.
It came up in the April board meeting.
