Way back in the day, before home computers, internet, etc, I was in a VW club and a mini-truck club, during my high school years. Guess what, had to pay membership dues back then too. CICCI is a "car club", that just happens to use the internet to conduct business. Back then we had monthly meetings to conduct club business. We used the membership dues to have summer outings, BBQ GTG's etc, nothing fancy, but it was nice to have these GTG's sponsored by our club, and we would invite other clubs and be the "host" club. Don't know if that will happen at CICCI, but we are new and growing, and suggestions that members have made, some have already been put into use. OK, I'm done. TY
