I'd like to get things going again in the Ontario Chapter. This will take some time but I believe the interest is out there.
1. Let's start with creating some new lines of communication. I can be reached via PM, and it is tied to my e-mail at work so it comes to my Blackberry immediately. I should respond within hours.
2. I also would like to compile a new e-mail list so that I can send notice of any events, meets, plans etc. directly to members. Please send me a PM with your e-mail address so that I might get this rolling. I have opened a G-mail account so that I can accomplish this from home. I will answer you with that e-mail so that you get the address.
3. Meets. I would like if you could send me information about what you feel is the best time and area to hold meets. They can move around and I am sure that as car club members you will not mind a bit of a drive to attend functions.
4. Wrench meets. We can all use some experienced hands or even just enthusiastic hands to get us over the hump on our projects. If you are needing help, send me a message and I will do my best to co-ordinate help for you. There is a lot of knowledge in this Chapter that can and should be passed on and around. Working on our cars shouldn't be a secret. We are all working to better and preserve the mark. I know there are members that could benefit from this help and begin to enjoy their rides again.
5. New members. I have met at least one person that would be a member if I could show him some activity and interest. He saw my car at the store down the street and it motivated to fix his car that has been sitting for 11 years! Once this is rolling again, try to bring in new people.
6. Cruise nights. There are cruise nights all over the place during the summer season. In my area alone there is something for car nuts every night of the week. I would like to be able to show up to some of these as a group. I think the visual impact would be amazing and also spark up more interest in the club.
We have a history of being the most active Chapter in the SCCOA and I hope to revive the spirit. I took Tony with me to the Shootout and now he wants to take his car next year. I have heard a rumor that the Shootout may be closer to us next year. This is the premier event of the SCCOA and the people you will meet are amazing.
I'm happy to be taking on the organizational side of this Chapter and I am looking for input and ideas from you guys. (see communication above)
So that's it so far. Who's still out there?

P.S. I forgot to mention that I would like your name along with your e-mail.
