A great turnout for sure.

Maybe we should start considering a BBQ or something similar for the annual meeting.

I know its cold as all-get-out in Feb, so maybe a March annual meeting and BBQ?

Just throwin it out there, don't know how feasible it is.

:cheers: and congrats to Matt!

Don't worry man, we'll all help guide ya! :D
 
We discussed our venue "issues" on the way home. I think we have outgrown the lets get a pizza and have a meeting days, which, btw, is great!

Shannon and I tossed around a few ideas:

  • Hotel/Banquet facility meeting room - would cost a few $$, but I like this idea
  • Someone's shop - bring your own chair style
  • Kemper Arena (j/k :) )

I apologize for catching everyone offguard this year with the "entry fee". It didn't even occur to me, so hopefully we didn't tick anyone off too much. Won't happen again, promise.

Andrew - I like your idea of meeting outside. We've had the meetings in January, and now February so that we had time to get a few events scheduled before everyone's calendar filled up. With the advent of ih8mud, some of that need has gone away. From what I could tell yesterday nearly everyone in the room was on that board. Makes me realize how far we've come since the LCML and 80scool list (for you old-timers).

Anyone have any other thoughts on the meeting? Erik and I have typically made the reservations, so if someone has a better location that can now seat around 70 to 80 let us know.

Thanks for everyone's participation!!!
 
topeka sounds like a great location...like chris mentioned hotel/banquet facility....or like also previously mentioned why not a weeekend event in march?...just something to think about

gardner/olathe...i like that idea too...location really don't matter as long as we have a place large enough for all to fit...with a little room left over...nice problem to have...perhaps someone should be appointed to research the options that are available and report back to the club?...

We have a facility here in Harrisonville(about 14 miles south of where we met.) It is currently the Elk's Club. Huge indoor space, with a bar:D , and catering is available. The place is routinely used for Gun shows, car shows, Bike shows etc. I can check into costs if that is not too geographically undesirable.

i say go for it ed...check and see how much for the facility....with a bar...and with dinner...i would not be opposed to paying say 10 or 15.00 to attend an annual dinner meeting...and harrisionville would be perfect....just my opinion

osagecruiser
 
Guess it wouldn't hurt to check. I'll see if there is a charge for the place and if we have to use a specific caterer. I'm not an Elk, but have a bunch of friends/patients that are. Hell, it might be cheaper for me to become an Elk;)

I'll check and get back.

BTW........................the bar is always open at the Elk's Club....heh


Ed
 
thanks ed....that might just be a real nice venue...and if it saves money it might be time for you to becme an elk

Don’t you hate that feeling when you wake up on a Sunday morning/afternoon and think to yourself that the night before is a little fuzzy—and that you may have done something you might regret or something happened to you that will come back to bite you…?? I know it happened to me a lot in college…Anybody else feel that this morning besides me??? :doh: :lol:

Seriously, I need to thank everyone for going out on a limb allowing me fill Erik’s spot. I’m really looking forward to the next few years as tac prez. Please bear with me as I get up to speed on things. I really didn’t intend to pursue this position when the upcoming vacancy was first announced but I knew that I wanted to be more involved with the group. After spending the last year sort of in the background and getting a feel for the organization I’ve realized that tlca and especially tac is definitely something that my family and I want to be apart of. Wheeling, camping, wrenching, friendships, and family bonding have always been part of my life and tac has all of this to offer and then some. I hope to carry on Erik’s momentum and make this something we all can enjoy…

I realize most or at least many of you wouldn’t be able to tell me from Adam on the street so I will do my best to change that. And please forgive me if I forget or call you by the wrong name. I’ve always struggled to put names with faces and when you add in a mud alias and/or trail rig I fear at some point I will make myself look like the southbound end of a northbound ….er…donkey…:doh: If you want to learn more about me feel free to call or email—also you can check out my intro post from last year…not much had changed save for adding a year to Hannah’s age.

I need to give a special thanks to osagecruiser for my nominatiaon. Thanks a lot bud, I’ll get you back one of these days. :flipoff2: I was down to the shop today…did you see those donuts out in the alley? Oh, and I’m pretty sure the clutch on the 45 is toast now..:flipoff2:

Also I need to thank Mike and Debi for that cute little pink bike. That was a big hit with Hannah when I got home last night. I think I spent the better part of 6 hours today in the basement holding the handle bar and seat as she tooled around. She’s a quick learner and managed to master (maybe I shouldn’t go that far) peddling and steering. Now if she figured out how to do both of those at the same time she would be set. ;p Over and over I coached, “Peddle…peddle…turn…peddle…turn…turn…TURN…Watch out!!” She didn’t have any accidents but I noticed she got a kick out of running over other toys (Yes I think she’ll grow up to be a wheeler ;) ).
 
I'd vote for topeka as the meeting spot also but I'm fearful that everyone would see how beautiful it is here and want to move here...
 
I counted close to 50 but a few were coming and going so it is hard to say. I'm still puting names with faces so I couldn't even guess as to the number of members.
 
Craig said the seating capacity of the room was 46 and we had some sitting in the main dinning room. I'd guess beween 50 and 55.

As far as meeting locations go, I have to drive no matter what so it makes me no difference. KC has a little more to do for a weekend trip ... Bass Pro, Cabellas, the Plaza, but I also need to make a trip to Expert Off-Road and use some gift certificates from FN.

Matt - In time it'll come back to you :hillbilly:

LOL on the bright side, I mentioned what happened at the meeting to my wife and said that I'll need to attend more meetings and events and she was all for it--so that right there is worth my time investments. She's even onboard for weekend trips to wichita and st louis if a "meeting" were to materialize. :cheers:
