well we chose the name Crossfires of Maryland, not Crossfires of the Mid-Atlantic. We are focused on building the club in maryland, by going to Maryland events, contact with Maryland vendors and Dealerships/garages. I have nothing against people from the other states wanting to join the group, but our focus need to be in Maryland and so it needs to be stated that way. People need to know that we are a club that is very active in our state. we are open to all that want help and want to cruse with us, but we are a Maryland group. CICCI will help any regional group that asks for it. CICCI needs to be known as the active parent group, not us. just my thoughts.
