Frank--
Lots to think about.
Thanks for sharing and I'm really sorry I couldn't make it--
I would think at some point you, Arron and Steve will need to make a decision which way the club should go. Hopefully, you will get some feedback you get from others--
Let me know if I can help---
Are you guys asking for help in London for the shirt sales?--
Later,
Mike

Mike:
Yep! All the help we can get! I figure 2 hrs isn't that long a stretch so volunteers won't miss much.

Frank ~ I'll kick in a couple hours of my time to work a t-shirt booth. I can also donate some time for the wet t-shirt contest too!!

Although I was unable to attend the meeting, I would vote for a "CLUB". I believe it would tend to be a little more organized and better participation from the members.

How about a get together at the vintage car races next month at Mid-Ohio???

With a couple of real youngin's, a wife that works and me overworked with a family construction business, it's tough for my wife and I to find very much free time. I LOVE being around other cobra's but to keep a happy home I have to spend the free time very wisely. Once a year I would go out with the Midstates Owners group for the Cobra's in Columbus drive. They have done this every year for the last 10 years. It's a laid back meeting. Everyone interested pays a fee for Friday night dinner at Fred's in Pickerington with a T shirt, then a nice Saturday drive through southern Ohio ending up at a nice place like Longaberger's Homestead. Then Sunday optional get together for goodbye's until next year. Very laid back, but a good time. Fun for the men and the women as well. It's only once a year, but we always plan for it. Of course it's only ONCE a year. Need a few more gatherings for my tastes.

Free advice is cheap!

Jim:
If you're looking for a "little more" you ought to consider OCC. Other than an annual dues (if it comes to that) we plan a schedule of events that might interest you and your wife. Of course we're just getting our collective act together as a relatively new organization put we're always looking for new members.

Frank,

I'll try to plug myself in whenever, and wherever, needed. Also, I will be running the scales sunday at the lodge, if anyone would like to assist me with that.

Frank--I can help Friday night, if needed--
I like the idea of a club with three chapters--
It sounds like things are happening

Mike I see you have been busy on the Forum since I last checked.I would gladly sit in the dunk tank if I thought it would help our cause but.. remember the whole purpose of this event is to raise money not frighten away potential dollars!! Now if you got in the Dunk Tank... we could make a killing for Team Jenny!!
Hey Mike when does Wink's drive thur start back up?
Cindy
