Default Re: Founder resignation
NEX was primarily founded by 3 of us that are really into our cars and socializing with people that are like minded. We had some great cruises last year!

All 3 of us; me, Bruce and Rick, have our own level of frustration about the lack of support from local members of NEX because we are so excited about our cars and our club. We are genuinely good guys trying to get something good established!

We currently have club founders. We have tried to get volunteers last year to handle certain aspects of the club. Internet, finance, photo archives, etc. We suffered a blow when a few people backed-out of their commitments when they learned what we were looking for. There is alot that happens behind the scenes that the casual member doesn't see or hear about.

We have a club name established. We have club initials established. We do have some club symbols established which were turned into decals. I believe we don't actually have to narrow it down to only 1 style of symbol. We can be flexible with the logo as long as the main ingredients are there.

Alot has been mentioned about what the club should be but who is stepping up to the plate to help? We are open to all suggestions but we can't do it alone! As was mentioned, we all have lives outside of NEX! Including us founders.

Please allow me to vent!!
It seems that after the first 2 cruises last spring, not too many people would take the time to attend a GTG or rally or cruise. We are talking about 1 day out of each month during the summer. We realize that everyone can not make it to every meet.

Boats can sit for one afternoon.
Baby sitters can watch kids.
Our cars get good gas mileage.
A work day can be swapped.

I am sorry if I have offended anybody in the past or with this post.
Thank you to the members that have participated in our events!!
Stan
