Monthly Meeting Location/VOTE.......

[ttocs]

I'm sorry man that isn't what I got out of this. I would have praised you for doing it and been thankfull that somebody would take the time to protect my baby. I think it is more that we are just a little sad that we pay for a place, and have to have somebody to protect our cars, the very reason we are meeting. The fact that we can have the meeting for free and safely is the point I got out of this.

Frankly its only a pain for the summer months. I live at 12th Street and Bell in Phoenix and its definitely a drive to Berge. But only for 4 months out of the year when its roasting, otherwise I think the drive would be fun. Also I am fairly new to the club but so far Ive seen alot of the members driving from Mesa etc to the Church, has to have been a drive for them, so its probably nice for us to give them a break, as well as making an appearance to help the club sponsor. However in August I'll probably pass on the meeting depending on when the move is made. Stage 3 isnt really any closer for me either, but whatever is decided thats the way it is.

I do believe though that alot of the west siders will bail. I'll be on the side of the majority since we need members there to conduct a meeting.

Just a thought, maybe we could use North mountain park (ice cream social location) for some of the meeting in the fall.

Also I appreciate the watchdog with the .45

Curious though if the church has had anymore issues with the gas thief.

71 miles round trip here, 40 minutes 1 way.

Reread what Steve said "I don't think that will stop the chance of something happening to our cars.", that's what got me. Nothing happened last month, did it? I found that a little insultive.

Anyway, the bottom line for me is, yeah, we can save a grand a year by moving it to Berge, ya, I'm all for that. But, Berge is nearly a hundred miles round trip for me, think gas prices, and do the math. That is why I said I would not be able to attend meetings, if held at Berge. So I have mixed feelings on this, on the one hand, the benefit to the club and on the other seeing the club become more unaccessible to me personally. btw, the church is 18 miles one way from my house, so it's not like it's any closer for us westsiders than the eastsiders.

There has been some good suggestions on here for places other than Berge, and Rocky's Mom is moving to Surprise, so I guess we'll have at least two in the carpool (welcome to the hood RM)

First of all, I never intended to insult you. I was just stating my feeling on that subject and since I wasn't there last month I didn't know what you did as far as Security. More power to you and good job. That was probably the 1st time that parking lot had real Security. I am sorry you were insulted but that was not my intention.
BTW, I am happy that we got this out in the open and are discussing it. I think the alternating between the East and West side is great as well as having it at different locations. That way we would be including all member's since the Valley is so spread out now. I think the Berge and Stage 3 idea would be great. I will be at the next Monthly Meeting for sure so we can discuss this in front of everybody as well as the board.
Thanks again- Rev'n Kevin
