A little history:
The old club really wasn’t organized with any official administrative structure, and it fell on bad times in 2007 when the originator sold his car and then handed the club responsibilities over to another individual; sadly the new manager did very little with the club as he fell on personal hardships. However, there were many of us who still wanted to pursue developing the organization. Recognizing one man could not possibly run a club with such potential and without any real organization; so, five of us did some research and discovered the club was never officially registered as a business or non-profit. We took the name, with the blessing of the predecessors, essentially we dissolved the old club because the records were incomplete, and started fresh. We determined which would be the best way to create something to last. We decided to incorporate the name and file for non-profit status and become a 501(c)7 corporation of voting members; those who own or lease a Crossfire may join and have voting rights and essentially own one vote (share) of the corporation, by doing this we have created something to last for many years.
We love our cars; and now that the Crossfire is an orphan child of divorced parents (Chrysler and Mercedes), we believe we should all to stick together. This is an exciting time for us, we have achieved approximately 40 members in short time since we opened for membership on November 2nd, 2008 and many others have pledged their support after the holiday. I anticipate we will achieve between 75 and 100 charters by January 31st 2009
I hope I have sufficiently answered your questions and concerns.
