Join us Saturday, June 13 at 6pm Central for a live performance with The Border Hookups! We're broadcasting live from the Xscapers Facebook page.
We Must Work Together to End Racism
In light of recent events and the struggles our country is currently facing, we, the Escapees Board of Directors, feel it is important to share not only our acknowledgment of the situation but also our support to end inequality. At the same time, we feel it is important to share this message as a reminder of the values of this organization and to offer our support.
Freedom is a powerful word. Whether whispered or shouted it evokes deep emotion. We will defend it with our lives and cling to it desperately when it becomes jeopardized. Freedom is the most important principle that binds us together as a Club.
It comes as no surprise that we feel restricted by the lack of freedom as we defend ourselves against COVID-19. As if that were not enough, we are confronted with an even more divisive epidemic—that of inequality.
Scientists around the world are working together to find a vaccine for Covid-19. We the people must work together to end racism.
Since its inception, the Escapees RV Club’s most revered principle centers on equality. We’ve taken great pride in the fact that we are an inclusive organization that welcomes people from all walks of life, regardless of race, religion, or political orientation. We have gone so far as to revoke memberships when individuals have not complied. It is not always easy to stand up for what is right, but if we don’t, we tarnish everything that our club and our country have been built upon.
We will get through this time of turmoil. One day soon we will dance and sing and hopefully hug again! Let’s pledge to be even more united than ever before.
Sincerely, Escapees Board of Directors
Updated Stay-in-Place Guidance
Over the past couple of months, we have been asked to do something which is challenging to any RVers’ nature by staying in place and postponing our travels. As the country and world start to find a way forward, we must continue to look out for the safety and wellness of RVers and the larger community. With this in mind, the safest thing you can do right now is to continue to stay-in-place where you are currently hunkered down although we do understand this may not be possible for everyone. RVers should take care to follow best practices while at home and traveling.
Reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 or passing it on to others by staying in place as much as possible.
If you should travel, minimize your interactions while in transit and follow any state and local travel restrictions in place along your route.
Be mindful of the perception of RVers as outsiders during this time.
