Thanks. The vote was based on a consensus of all bod delegates (at least, the ones that called in... and that's not our fault.. can't make 'em do the job), members, reps, and officers.
It just doesn't make any sense with this much history to just change the name. We are clear in our bylaws that we welcome all makes of Toyota 4x4, so changing the name would only be a band aid. For now, let us focus on the cure, so that the band aid is a non issue. We are trying, and listening very closely.
And please, if you feel you might see a better way for us to achieve this, let us know, or become a delegate, or run for an officer's position, because we really do want to ge this ship righted, and to make a tangible difference in the perception of the club.
I am working with a deficit, and trying to overcome that. Hard to make up ground against these perceptions, but this club is stepping up to the plate to make it a great club for everybody, it just takes time and money, and we've got more time than money, but we feel that if the value is there, members will stay, and some may even come back.
Thanks for your patience on this deal, and thanks for the comments, and thanks for the continued support!! It all means a lot to us as we walk this path!!!
