Now that the initial excitement has died down...

Everything is sounding great, but I wonder how many of us there are down here in Tucson that would have a lot of trouble making it up to the Phoenix area?

If there was enough interest down here, we could possibly do things here, but if not, it looks like this will quickly become a Phoenix club.

There are a bunch of us up north as well. involement can happen in many ways.

As for Tucson and Flag-area folks, I would personally with enough time and properr planning be VERY interested in heading down. Take the wife and son to a sunset on Gates, eat at some old haunts (Bison Witches?), and dream of a house in the foothills there.

Yeah, a lot of us in the Valley, but there are a lot of trails and a bunch of cool stuff down south way.

Hold up guys. All of the folks up north and down south need not worrry. This club has always been discussed as a state club. Just cause you can't make it to some cruise nights in the Phoenix area does not mean chit to me. I am a member of a VW club that has members from all over the world who get involved when they can. We can make this work.

Agreed.
IIRC, the original discussion thread had mention of smaller club units for each major region of
the state. And the CSC itself would just be an umbrella group.
I would still like to see that happen. The state is too big to have just one club, and not populated enough to warrant many individual clubs.

BMAN's flyer idea

BMAN- Here's a scaled-down version of your flyer.

 

[BMAN]

Thanks,

What does everyone think? It's a start and I think we should go from there. Of course the Copperstate cruisers part won't be there until we as a group decide it should be.

 

[BMT]

I'm in.

Get-r-done...

I believe that clubs that grow naturally are better in the long run than clubs that try to become "established" overnight. What do I mean??

A) Know & share the purpose. What is CSC’s? To show off? To wheel Cruisers?? I’d hope wheel’n with an occasional show-off meeting (Sonic?) for awareness. (And allow the crippled Cruisers a chance to play)
B) Get something scheduled on a regular basis and see if participation is stable, or better yet grows. It should dovetail with the purpose, though an occasional deviation is fine.
C) When things are look’n stable, get a diverse & optimistic group together to make write the by-laws and get incorporated. For the CSC, the authors should consider TCLA requirements. I do not believe the CSC should petition for TCLA membership until sturdy roots are established, but changing by-laws is such a pain in the a$$.
D) Remember that this is supposed to be fun: not dangerous, illegal, competitive, or for control freaks that must have it their way.
E) The only discrimination tolerated will be against jeeps. They multiple like a virus, destroy natural habitat, are noisy, and smell funny. (OK, OK, this was a cheap attempt at humor!!))

I have been talking to a friend of mine who owns an auto parts store here in Tucson, on Speedway, and he would be happy to let us use his parking lot as a place to have get togethers.

Is there enough interest here in Tucson to get something like this going?
