Remember our roots, they are just as important as all the newbies.
Well said Scott! I havn't posted up on this thread untill now, partially because, as allways in life, change is inevitable. Look back at how much the Club has changed the past 3 years!

We have added many new faces to the membership, and lost some well known members. We may well have to move in the next few years, but now have an idea of what memberships needs are, in selecting a new location. Hopefully the gas thieft incident was isolated, and a reaction to higher prices.

As a board member I had made weeknight trips to Dan's shop, gone home, and woken up for work, after 4 hours of sleep, on several occasions, all for "The Good of the Club". Driving a few extra miles to Berge on a Sunday, would have been more preferable, if they were our sponsor at that time.

With todays higher fuel prices, when we do have to move the General Membership Meetings, location, organizing Car Pools, and accessiblity should be at the top of the list of items to consider.
