Dan, well said. JP, Turk, Jamo Godzila and others- I think we are all in the same kitchen now and we need to decide what to eat. Did you ever try to get a group of people to decide on which restaurant the group should go to?? Oh Lord!

The decisions, to be made, are not simple--each one will take some organizing, planing and actual putting "the rubber to the road" and of course, not everyone will be happy.

So someone needs to make some decisions---- ED -- you indicated you were monitoring this thread - it would be nice if you responed on occasions. I think you need to lets us know what is realisitic for you-- and what isn't, otherwise we could be spinning our wheels. JP and Turk made some suggestions that are major changes in fund raising, Godzila suggested each group or club pick a favorite, are these suggestions ok with you?? Dan makes a good point, after four years we should know what works and what does not. Somehow the same questions get asked every year -- let's bury them -- example, should we open this up to GM-FORD-MOPARS-HOT RODS?-- should we go to London? --
should vendors be invited-- etc etc.

There are some amazing ideas on the table and I think it is clear, people want it simple -- now try to figure out what that means!

Ed no one wants to step on your toes-- soooo-- how about jumping in and clearing some of the bush.
