Wondering if the active member list is current or way outdated... And most importantly if it possible to email up to date members in advance of Monthly meeting and /or trips to increase participation in events. I see more than 400 "active" members on site but cant understand only 4 to 8 showing up for monthly meeting.
Active member Current list?

What I've noticed is members really go in to hiding in the summer, vacation and heat plus jobs, but once the air cools we see both new and familiar faces. While the count is around 400, maybe 100 are still regulars and some like @brittan , @jclarke450 and others have moved out of state they still check in once in a while. We have had members sell their Landcruiser and buy something else but we always hope they will return to our passion.
Largest gathering I remember was at Camelback Toyota two years ago, we had about 40 trucks. Tucson and Flagstaff have 10 or so members each and 6 or so in Prescott. The balance are sprinkled across the state.
This past weekend we had 20 trucks camping but 22 members, some spouses join. There are regular faces at most runs and meetings plus the new. Club meetings on Friday tend to be 10 to 20 trucks depending on weather (we had 22 trucks at our raining swap meet last fall at a different location and we were all surprised) or the promise of food.
In general our roster is like The Hotel California, you can check in but you can never leave. The passion for Landcruisers never dies, and the hope that we will see old friends again is what keeps us from dropping names.
Hope this answers some of the questions.

I am in no way advocating any changes to meeting dates, times, locations...I typically don't attend the meetings because they are on Friday night and not real close by. I doubt that I am the only one that doesn't come around regularly for those reasons. I go out almost every Friday with my wife and friends, it's been good for my now 20 year marriage.
That last meeting in June looked pretty damn awesome. Lots of hands on content, just showing people how to actually use a high lift would make it worth attending. I can barely count on one hand the number of people that know how to use and troubleshoot a hi-lift.
Just reading the thread about the meeting was worth it, I just learned about that bottle jack adapter.
I'm guilty!! Family and work have pulled me sideways from meetings and outings. I think I need to divorce both?!? LOL.. and this month I'll be camping on the Rim (Bear Cyn Lake) so will miss yet another meeting. But with layoffs and being stretched at work, its been tough to do anything. As the motto goes.. Do more with less!
