Brand Newbian CatchUp

[JFin]

Good Evening BnT...Playing a little catchup here. Went to my 1st meeting in December and apologies in advance if I struggle with marrying handles and names. I have been going through the threads and I'm trying to get all my trash in one bag...I was looking for the bylaws or rules that someone brought up last meeting and I can't find them...if someone can point me in the right direction...I'll read but...for now...I'm like a football bat over here trying to get things in order, or even find them.

As I understand it, I need to attend another meeting for the 2 meeting requirement and I need to attend a BnT event. Is the event a newbie event or am I able to attend an event although I'm not a voted in BnT member? With that, 2 meetings, an event and then I am at least able to get voted upon to be a full fledged (and paying) member.

After that I can pay my dues, order a flag (or 2...if one snaps off while on the freeway) when the next order comes around, same same on the trasharoo if available, same same on the BnT window sticker and see if I can get my hands on a Toyota Carlsbad discount card (which will come in handy). If I left anything out or I included something no longer valid...kindly let me know.

My recently purchased truck is nearly there ( @chap79 is second only to my wife in helping me spend money ), new tires, did some maintenance, played reindeer games on my fuse/relay box, had my seats fixed up and just purchased some brand spankin' new sliders from White Knuckle about 30 minutes ago. A few more items but at least I should be a able to drive and get some dirt on this thing...so event bound in the near future.

Lastly....wrench days....when do we have them so I can lend a hand (and learn) if I can swing the wrench day, I will show and work hard...I'm no mechanic but i can pass a mean wrench, be a go-for and lend assistance. If I missed December..my apologies...(My Mom is in town for Christmas) when there are others, I will jostle things around as best I can to help on the wrench days.

Thank you folks...have a good one and if I don't speak with you until the next meeting hope you all have a great Christmas and holiday.

John

Well @JFin, let me take a stab at some of these questions. The by laws are not on any digital format. They are on paper only and that is some thing that we are going to change for this year and update all the by laws as well. The requirement is one run or event and come to two meeting then we vote you in. From there you pay dues to The BNT team and sign up for TLCA. All done at the point then flag and stickers are open to you and the members area. As for the Toyota of Carlsbad you need to hit up @leucadiacruiser on that info. For wrench days the person whom is putting it on will talk about it at a meeting and then put up a post following it of when and where. Hope this helps answer any questions. If you have any more hit me up!!!

Thanks @crusier Bauers! Appreciate etc answers to my questions. Understand the by laws are not digital...yet...however...I am willing to assist in that project. I can either scan and save some time or I have voice recognition software and I can talk and get them to digital if that helps. After it is digitized I can return and they can be reviewed, altered and posted for BnT. I am willing to throw my hand up to volunteer and assist. I'm not a member yet, but I am not going anywhere and am willing to help. As for membership, dues, flags, and stickers...thanks for clarifying. I'll hit up @leucadiacrusier for the Toyota Carlsbad for the discount card after I am a voted in BnT member. Thanks. And for wrench days...I didn't hear at the meeting or see any posts so I didn't miss any but I'll keep an ear out. Thanks a lot @Cruiser Bauers...I appreciate you answering my questions!

Welcome John - For your Toyota Carlsbad parts discount, all you need is to be a card carrying TLCA member. In addition, any Toyota over 20 years gets 20% off independent of TLCA affiliation. Talk to Russ - he'll take care of you.

For wrench days, I'll be posting one up soon, I just need to sort some holiday schedule stuff. Our wrench days usually involve really good food and beer and sometimes victory cigars at the end.

Thanks Phulcrum! I understand the schedules with the holidays. I’d be willing to help, and I’d like to work my smoker a little too. When you get it together, I’ll gladly help...and bring some food and beers.
