Most obbessed? I should vote for myself, seeing I have sent e mails to about 40 different sites begging for information to join or start a club in my area, and no one has pointed me in a direction. Heck, I'd be willing to organize and run it myself.....I'm not that obbessed though, last night my wife came downstairs at about 3 am, I was asleep on my computer and was in the middle of another message trying to find a club.....I'll be fine.....turbomangt 2003 turbo 5 speed/ stinger cowl induction hood
Starting a club can be a slow, but satisfying experience. When PTE comes on-line again, you may want to contact the Motown Cruisers, TomCat and/or Bullwinkle, for they are the closest to you and can offer advice, support, and tips. As for our small PT club, a couple of us just happened to meet at the local shopping center/mall almost weekly and decided to form a club. Getting more people involved/joining the club, is quite simple really. Leaving business cards or flyer's on windshields and/or talking to PT owners if you happen to meet them. Greet and Meets or local cruises can be scheduled at a local park, beach, lake, food stand, parking lot, shopping mall, or at a member's house. If you decide to charge a modest "dues" to cover printing and operational costs and/or club window clings/decals, make sure your books are up to date and available for anybody (at least members) to scrutinize or look at. Last thing you want at an early stage of a club is somebody accusing you of skimming dues or getting a salary without a club charter authorizing (by a membership vote) that kind of expenditure. As your club grows, there will be more options and opportunities available to the club to obtain discounts from local and mail order merchants and build relationships with other local car clubs (not necessarily PT related clubs) to put on or be part of joint events. I can send you a copy of our charter if you are interested.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
