Happy New Year Chicago

And what does this new year bring? More headaches, broke banks and another attempt at a club...albeit more organized this time around.

Ok folks...we're going to do this again and this time with a little flair. Yeah, there are some that have said let the club die, but since when do I ever listen? This is for the ENTIRE rotary community hence the name. So you'll see this on the 8 site, JGTCA, and anywhere else there's any sub forum for 7s and 8s and the like. I'd like to resurrect this thing one more time and I am looking for everyone's help. In particular I'm looking for a few dedicated (as in for a specific task not just someone devoted, though that's a definite plus) people to help get this show on the road. Specifically one good with graphics/web design, one who may have an in with local businesses that cater to performance related goods and services towards rotaries (dealers or specialists) and one who may have a handle on non-profit organizations and the ins and outs of those.

Please EMAIL me at railgun69@yahoo.com with the subject RC3 if interested in something in particular, otherwise feel free to post away here with questions, comments, thoughts, suggestions, ideas or to criticize the **** outta me. I'm a big boy...I can take it.

Some of the things that I've left hanging out there is continuing on the new RX-7 registry that we worked on a little last year. A couple of great guys helped out in that endevor. There's a sticky with information in the 3rd gen section that has become stagnant. I'd like to have Chicago play a big part in getting that completed. I'm a new member with NASA, so I will be sure to relay any events that are open to you all so any interested parties can join us. Any events that you think of that you'd like to attend, let me know. Perhaps that with a strong enough showing and some financial support, we can offset costs associated with those events.

First thing's first in getting a site together with our own forums. We did have something last year, but issues with the provider were not worth the hassle of staying with them, in addition to the fact that the site became corrupted after they moved us to another server. Our domain remains which is still chicagorotary.com, but there's nothing there at the moment. I'd love some help to put together a classy looking site for us. I've actually spoken to Damian about perhaps some flash work and a family friend is a graphics designer. If there's someone internal to the Chicago community that can do this work, all the better (and hopefully cheaper) but if not, then so be it.

So let's get things off to a new and hopefully much better start than last year, get some interest and some support from you guys and gals and get Chicago back on the map.

To steal Amanda's line...

Happy Rotoring

Christian

YES! Good luck with that! Although I'm not more than a willing meet attendee, I do hope something gets going this year.

Happy new year every one!!

I would really like to get a couple of meets together this year.

My car will be completly different this year and would like to host a meet my self. I tryed to get the last one together but it fell threw (what a suprise).

I am not to shure on how I could help the club out personally, But I would try and am open for sugestions. Sounds more like you need computer people (wich I am really not exept for cad/cam).

Happy New Year,
Christian you know that I will show up for what ever you can get rolling and I would be able to help on a case by case basis as my schedule allows. Also, I work with a guy who does web design and has a website called chicar.com or something I will ask if he might be interested in helping to design a website.

Sounds great Christian.
Looking forward to the first meet.

I also just joined NASA and will be hitting up some of their events this year. An HPDE at Mid-Ohio is my stretch goal this year.
