For starters it was nice to finally start meeting interested club members and put faces to names, thanks to all who made our first meeting tonight. Just a quick recap of what was discussed at the meeting and things to think about for the next couple of weeks. John Kelly opened with introductions followed by those in attendance introducing themselves. Ideas about club formation and organization were discussed as well as possible activities, events and community involvement. Tiffany Cranford is going to look into whats needed to open a club bank account and suggested our next meeting be held where we can eat. John Cranford will look into eateries that has meeting space and offered to tinker on a cool logo for the club and Cody knows some sources there also. It was decided to have another meeting before we elect officers so we can have more member turnout and those interested can ponder the idea of being an officer. Getting more member turnout was discussed and ideas given included business cards, flyers, craigslist posting, (maybe thrifty nickle) and Cody will talk to the service manager at Street Toyota. Harley suggested a wheeling trip in the near future and this may be a good way to get additional people on board for initial memberships (Hmm Harley want to head up a trail run?) Other activities to ponder in the next few months would be the 4th of July parade in Canyon, car shows on Saturdays, fund raising with t-shirts, stickers etc. to help with initial operating costs. John Kelly talked about getting a quick reference for roberts rules to help guide the meetings and initial member dues were discussed. Long term ideas included wheeling in Raton, Palo-Duro Canyon, Lone Star Land Cruiser Roundup at Katemcy Rocks, Post Texas wheeling (I believe Cody Broke Something there?)and establishing the club as a class act group of Toyota 4 wheelers reperesenting the Texas Panhandle and maybe even hosting our own 4x4 event someday here in the Panhandle with BBQ, live music, dancing, raffles hardcore wheeling, camping and just hanging out. Looking forward to our next meeting and our first trail run. Thanks John

Any number is good to start with. Stay focused on the people that participate. The basic "rule" is anything that toyota build with a transfercase...let that be as grey as you want. Make flyers for everyone to hand out / put on windshields. We use meeting / mud club page to keep up and post events.
Look for a 4th of July parade that is visible and get everyone together to drive in it. Basically, if someone wantsto do a trail run / poker run / event, let them post up and everyone join in. Later you can have an activiity chariman.
TLCA is a great resource and the anchor of the Toyota 4wd movement. I would encourage meembership, great magazine and more benefits coming everyday.
Feel free to give me a call.
