You're right, membership has fallen off.
Around 2008 when the economy took a dive, many people dropped out. The fuel cost to come to events were starting to make a dent in the pocket book.
Another item is some members were well into rock crawling mods on their rigs and the events here in Florida did not appeal to them anymore, so less showed up to events. I attended two planned events where only me and one other member showed up.
But, I'm sure as Obama said, "Don't worry, the middle class is doing fine...", so I must now be in the poverty class.
Like with the Cruisers, keep going forward...
