Proposed TLCA Mid-Central Chapters Open Event for 2009

Proposed TLCA Mid-Central Chapters Open Event for 2009

Several members of Tornado Alley Cruisers, Tall Corn Cruisers, Green Country Cruisers and Cottonland Cruisers have met and developed an idea for a collaborative Mid-Central States TLCA Open Event for Fall of 2009.

• We are proposing that the event be held the last W-Su of September or the first W-Su in October. This event could be held every other year, with the normal chapter events being held on even years.
• We are proposing that this event be held at SMORR (Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch) in 2009. This event could be held at other parks in the area (Flat Nasty, Hannibal Rocks, D-Day, Superlift, etc), should the event be done again.
• We are proposing that the clubs join forces to form the event committee and sub-committees thus evening the load of putting on such a large event.
• We are proposing that we do not limit what Toyota based clubs can be involved, we would like to see TTORA and FJC Clubs participating in this event as well.
• We are proposing that the TLCA help us facilitate and coordinate our efforts in developing and promoting this event.
• We are proposing that we make an effort to do some philanthropic project at or before the event as a group.
• We are propsing that we market this as best we can, being inclusive in our efforts to reach not only the hardcore wheelers, but the folks that are new to this sport/hobby and even those that just want to come out and see what it's like and not necessarily wheel.
• We are proposing that TLCA members would get a discount for early registration for this event.
• We are proposing that part of the proceeds from the T-Shirt sales will be distributed between the Blue Ribbon Coalition and the Susan G. Koman Foundation
• We are proposing that this is going to be a great event, that will not only bring our chapters together, but bring families together for a great weekend of TLCA fun!

Please take the time to discuss this with your clubs. If you have any questions, there is a thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/tlca-discu...l-chapters-open-event-2009-a.html#post3869018 open for discussion. If your chapter is interested in participating in this, please contact Art Schramm packman73 @ gmail.com to be added to the event mailing list. We will working on this collaboratively online through the mailing list. We would like to get rolling on the marketing of this in the next few weeks, with registration beginning the first of the year.

Our goal here is simple. Bring together those that love their Toyota 4x4's for the common purpose of having family fun and enjoying each other's company.

With Kind Regards,

Art Schramm

For those of you confused like I was for a while...

This would mean there would NOT be an official TCCC09.

That doesn't mean we can't still have a smaller scale club event as well... we just wouldn't advertise it as a TLCA event etc... may not even do a registration fee at all. Potluck, some trucks, and trails anyone?

We could move from MIOBI to anywhere.... (I've always wanted to go to Iron mountain in MN to wheel...). Or whatever...

And with the economy going the way it is, getting raffle prizes this year is going to be tough. For any club and any event...just my .02


That's a good idea Eric! I'd be down for that.

I think collaborating with other chapters and clubs will not only be great for people on a personal basis, but from a chapter perspective. This would be a great way for us to meet some new folks and see a new park that many of us have never been to before. Heck, maybe landcrusher909 and his SoCal posse could make an appearance in the Midwest again....

Sounds good to me. I always like to wheel in new places- Or just far from home.

Speaking of Iron Mountain...I've been thinking that it would be a cool trip sometime to get a group of us together (9 people max) and go paddle the Boundary Waters for a few days, come out, and then head to Gilbert, MN and wheel for a few days. How cool of a trip would that be? And 9 is the max number of people that you can have on a BWCA Permit, that's where that number comes from. I got paddling every Memorial Day weekend up there, have been for 7+ years, it's cheap <$200 for the weekend (TH-SU). And to say that country up there is pretty is an understatement.

Please read my comments in said link above. I'm not trying to be the squeaky wheel, but why do we wait until early fall to do things. Whats wrong with spring and winter?

I'd have to check on that. I want to say that 9 adults is the limit but I could be wrong.

It's probobly not important anyway, I doubt Michelle would be up for dragging a baby around in a canoe.
