There is still enough interest in a club, that a group of us are offering membership to a club for the states of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kentucky (Illinois and any bordering state) while this geographic area is fairly large we think that it is manageable and would allow members to easily drive to events within that area. This club will be designed to futher promote the fun and friendships spawned by the forum and the HHRs. The goals of this organization will be to organize events such as carshows, runs and larger events supporting chairties and the organization's goals of fun and friendship. This organization is in no way meant to compete or detract from any regional activites of groups within the forum or other clubs that will likely form as the HHR contines to grow in popularity and groups like the forum continue to create friendships and allow the exchange of ideas. This club will have it's own website for the members to post and for the club to distribute information monthly newsletters etc. There will be quarterly meetings supported by a monthly electronic newsletter (avaliable in hardcopy form at a members request). We feel that the structure allowed by a club will be an aid to the planing and execution of larger events and simply allows members another level in the HHR experience. If you are interested you may pm me at the forum or contact me at scaleguy61@hotmail.com...Thank you for allowing us this time and space in the forum and have a great day !!!

 

I have PM'ed most people that where at the Summer Run and the House Warming to see who wants to be an "OFFICER". Pat and I feel that the people that where at the said functions are the cornerstone of the "club" and should be the people to start this group. And by NO means does this mean that people (6 states) will not have a chance to become an "officer" after the first year. Also, if you don't like the idea's of this thread, PLEASE do not use this forum as a pulpit to preach. OK, with that all being said, If I didn't PM you please let me know if your interested in: President, Vice- President, Secretary, and Treasurer. P.S. A wife can also be an "officer"

 

Most wives are already "officers" in charge of everything!

 

Your right...sad to say

 

Robin, you are absoltely right and I had Rita's permission for this post...hahaha. As James said we are looking towards the core group that has been interested as the starting point, and as we grow the scope will change to reflect the growth...This again is by no means anything that should create problems, the club is not intended or designed to detract from the forum or the Mid-Central region...It is just another layer of flavor (food reference...surprise!!!) and will hopefully be a nice addition...I certainly hope that this anouncement will not be seen as anything more than what we have stated...

 

did you say officer or enforcer james??? LOL

 

In your case...."enforcer" "you feel lucky...well do you"!

 

What about the name?

I remember something like Midwest HHR or something along those lines, how about a naming contest?

If y'all like Midwest, I'm cool with that!

I just thought with the group of minds we've got around here(keep the jokes to yourself! ) we could come up with something fun/cool that says more about the club than where some of it is!

No matter what though, I'm in!

 

Here's a few, mostly boring, ones I thought of.

• Mid-America HHR Club
• Land of Lincoln HHR Club
• Illini HHR Club
• HHR Club of Greater Illinios
• Runs “R” Us
• The Greatest Club on Earth

 

I have to admidt I like the Mid-America HHR's. That way it really puts no limitations on the geography.

Mid-America= Mid West
Mid-America=USA as compared to the continent
