picture, you need to wheel more often! 

   On the subject of the website, in the past few days, I have been busy creating a new bulletin board. It is nearly complete, and already has 16 registered users! This bulliten board holds several different forums ranging from Jeep talk to Ford talk to Toyota Talk and everything in between. It also has our members only forum, and our classified adds. Very soon, if not by the time you receive this, I will have pulled the old forums and classified ads down from the web. If you live under a rock, you may not have heard about it, but I DID send an email out to everyone in the club I have an address for. If you didn’t get it, it is because your email addy needs to be updated. Send all membership information and updates to Daniel Weisman.

   In going over the budget recently, Daniel and I found that we are in enough black ink to provide for some fun activities this year, and still have enough to pay all the bills for 2004, and get 2005 started again. So, I have been kicking around the idea of bringing back the Summer Picnic. The idea I have is to rent a shelter house at Lincoln State Park, have all the club members and their families come out for the day (weekend?), have a cookout (everyone bring a covered dish?), and have a great time. There are activities at the park that everyone can enjoy, from fishing, hiking, canoes and paddle boats, swimming, playgrounds, and my favorite– taking a well deserved nap! There are no details yet, so don’t press me for any, but we may possibly be able to provide burgers and hot dogs for everyone. Like I said, there are no details yet, but I did want to give you an idea of what is possible.

This year already, we have welcomed 3 new members. These are all great folks, that will fit like an old shirt. Please get to know these folks if you haven’t already.

   I am looking forward to a great year full of wheeling, camping, and having a good time with all my Boonie buds (coonie?). Do what you can to become more involved. Try to get to a meeting. Make it a point to get to one or two more events than you did last year. I’ve got to tell you, if you missed anything last year, you missed a lot!

 

Till next time, keep it locked in!      rat
