Yes William your wife is very welcome to come… it’s $40 per person and I wish I could help with everyones gas, but I have a hard enough time with my own these days icon_lol.gif . Whatever counties want to join are all welcome. I dont think that really matters, just that everyone have a great time is all I’m concerned about

I have to admit, starting a chapter one month after joining the club is taking the bull by the horns.


Make sure you talk to Nick and the lovely lady that makes up banners for meetings.

Nick will send out announcements to all the member and non-member inspectors in your area (I think) to help insure a good turnout.

Have you scheduled Nick and/or any of the other higher ups to attend your first meeting?

I'm not so much sticking up for you, I just like to give " I also thought that was humorous" a hard time.

I do wish you the best of luck.

Cheers

Walter:


Chapter Meetings are not intended to be One Time Events. (Correct me if I am Wrong)

What are your plans for sustaining the continued success of the Chapter?

Hmmmmmmmm … well Gary if you must ask than I guess I’ll just have to enlighten you eh!


Someone (not mentioning any names like Gary or anything) was supposed to meet me in NY this past weekend and didn't show up!

Now apparently this un-named person (like Gary) was sick all weekend. Therefore this said person owes this other Person (Me) a drink or 2.

As the first person(Gary) shouldn't be drinking while sick or in training!

This is the same person who said they would bring me an item which I needed for this week, but hey I'm old and I really don't worry about time anymore.
