The red CTC will be removed from those member's names on the Official Texas Member list thread.
Members wishing to remain in the Central Texas Crossfires may do so by participating in club GTGs.
I left the door open on the last sentence of the thread for those members. Everyone of the members in question have been pm'd over many GTGs without response, therefore shows a lack of interest. Now don't put it all on me, as I said this was voted on by attending members at the time of which they also had concerns about no shows and I sent those members what I intended to post and got their ok. I made a few changes as not to be to harsh. That is another reason to attend GTGs as it is also our meeting if there is business to take care of. All I did was follow through and give all members and opportunity to attend or respond to a GTG. Those same members have continued to not socialize with the rest of us. It is this way, if you are in a club and pay dues, you are a member in good standing, if you don't you are out. We do not have dues but it would seem reasonable to attend some GTGs to remain in good standing. A club is made up of people who have something in common and want to have fun, if you are not having fun, what is the purpose of being in a club. Some times I don't feel like going to a GTG or something has come up, but as a member I feel obligated to be there, so I work around any issue as I have committed myself to being there. I feel I owe it to the members and want to help to have a good turnout. Heck, it is only once a month. I have to practice what I preach. So, those members who have missed the last five GTGs will be re moved from the CTC roster effective 6/14/2009 which is our GTG. Everyone has an opportunity to sign up. All are welcome to join our GTGs, member or not.
Has anyone noticed, not a comment from those members who I've just described. The comments are from active members or non-members. I haven't even been pm'd by them.
