As most of you may have learned, the president resigned, so an idea to restructure the club was mentioned. Basically do away with all titles of president , vice president, etc. and establish chapter leaders over North, Central, and South areas of Alabama. The chapter leaders will be responsible for corresponding with other chapter leaders and coordinating with members in their area. I would like to get some feedback from active MRCCAL members on this plan. If there is interest in this plan, we can move to implement it.

 

Sounds like a good plan to me, that way each chapter can coordinate their own meetings and get togethers on a city scale instead of a state scale, and then the chapters can get together for a semi-annual or annual gathering.

 

Sounds like you guys are going through the same stuff we went through. Our president resigned (just wouldn't admit it) and we never did restrcture. We found it difficult to get the whole state together, but tried to have different things in different areas to help support things that particular area was putting together. I wish you guys luck.

-steps up to the plate-
hi my name is brandon, i have lived in daphne alabama, close to mobile for a while but only owns rx-7s sence january(own a gxl and a turbo II(project). in any case i 3 of my friends have or will or did have rx-7s, and a know a few people that have them also,
have just came across mrccal. i would like to help with anything i can, just let me know.

 

Ummm.. NO WAY you can compare Phil to Ian. I hope no club ever has a president like Ian again. It is hard to keep a club together with all that is involved, people's lives change weekly and usually one person get stuck with all the responsibilities and then others just want to complain and not help.

In no way am I comaprring Phil to Ian (Alan McDonald) my only comparrison was the fact we needed to restructure and it never happened. Ian resigned (just wouldn't admit it) and ended it with his BS. will be another year since his rantings on the list and still nothing (except he got the money) probably his ultimate goal (and collected the majority of it in his absense) Ian claimed he had all the responsibilities but in fact prevented those willing to help from helping (unledd it was something he didn't want to do) Someone was saying the yahoo list was sort of active again but still people leaving the list. Oh well if he's man enough to step aside I'm sure it can be saved. (wishful thinking) any way good luck with it. Jack

 

I'm for whatever. I just need to know the outcome so I can update the site.
Even though we might go to the different chapters, don't we still need a main guy? Just asking... Like a leader leader, chapter leader of the chapters...

 

Good luck guys, politics is a dirty business. Sometimes anarchy is easier to deal with than organization.

 

This is great! Exactly what I was hoping. I wanted Mobile and L.A. to be an active part of the club from the beginning but the distance seemed to be the main factor. Brandon, can you recruit the 7 owners from your area and decide on the potential candidates for position of chapter leader? John, can you do the same for B'ham and the surrounding area? I will get with everyone here in Huntsville.

I know there are more members who have not posted and it would be to our advantage if we could get EVERY club member's feedback on this. I really want our club to succeed and the only way is through a united effort.

 

Well, my idea was to avoid one person taking on the entire burden of situations that might/will come about. With a "joint" leadership, no one person can be blamed for mishaps.

 

Thanks for the support.

 

So it'd be like a panel or a board of directors so to speak. That'd be good.
Anyway I got us a MRCCAL forum on nopistons. It's under the club section. Just spreading the word!

 

I'll throw in my 2 cents and my experience with the MRCCAL (I'll make it short).

I know some of you know I resigned because I was just sick of all the "Drama" in the club. To be honest with you, the drama mainly came from one particular part of Alabama.

If I could start all over again, I would definitely have some sort of annual dues. If you don't pay, You're not part of it.

I also want those to know, I have no ill feeling toward them. I just don't want to be blamed or be responsible for minor things. I will continue to hang out with people in this club but thats about it.

Good luck and hope you guys make the best of this club!

Don, would it not be easier to send a mass email out from the mailing list of members we have?

Phil, I was also thinking annual dues be a good idea, and if you ever decide you would like to become a active member again, you are more than welcome back, you know your part of our family.

 

LOL! Thanks John.
I'm going to stick with the locals for now and if you guys do organize something big, I'll show up. Even though me and Stephen formed this club, for now, I'm going to chill back.

PHIL

 

I did. A few have replied. I was hoping the remainder who check here would post. Did you get the email?

 

Yes I got it,
