[R Sorak]

For the 2008 year we're going to get this club going!! And we're planning at least 1 fun car related event per month March-Nov.
For March Mike or 57saratoga has stepped up...
April is Stan
May is David W.
I have no idea what these guys have planned, so if any of you see this give us a clue?
If you have an event you'd like to plan please step up and reply with your idea here!
Thanks
Rick

Ken O'Neil just emailed me this great list of ideas: Thanks Ken!

1. Spring cruise/ family picnic, with games like volleyball, horseshoes, and
> car games if paved space is available
>
> 2. Monthly Friday or Saturday night club cruise (Sonic cruise night, poker
> run, scavenger hunt, etc, and with one or two longer cruises- Shiloh or
> Reelfoot, for instance)
>
> 3. Club caravan to regional car shows (local or as far as Nashville), and no
> I don't mean just Mopar shows. The reason that most of these local shows
> have a Mopar class is because of this club, going to these shows en masse.
>
> 4. Club outing to Memphis Motorsports Park
>
> 5. Club caravan to the Mopar Nationals
>
> 6. Fall cruise/ family picnic, with games like volleyball, horseshoes, and
> car games if paved space is available
>
> 7. Video Night (winter event)
>
> 8. Christmas Party
>
> 9. Club Swap Meet (Fund raiser for the car show)
>
> 10. Garage tour
>
> 11. Club "Field trip" (to a good junkyard, or a place like Comp Cams or a
> car builder shop, etc)
>
> Something I would also suggest is bringing back some of the old traditions
> that used to be carried out with the club, such as year end awards to
> members who had performed in an exemplary way. Examples of awards we used to
> give out, at the Christmas Party, included perfect attendance at meetings,
> most active member (showing up for the most events), the most improved car
> over the year, member who got the most new members, member who got the most
> sponsors for the show, etc... The awards were plaques, nothing fancy but
> they instilled in the club members a sense of pride and encouraged more
> participation.
