2015 Membership Packet

[GSJoe]

My 2015 membership packet arrived in the mail a few minutes ago. WOW!!! The tee-shirt is spectacular, and the idea of putting our forum ID on the 2015 membership badge was a great one. It will be most helpful at events for members who know us only by our forum name. Once again the new window decal is a neat design. We get one heck of a lot from this club for our small annual membership dues! In addition to a class membership packet, just think of the fantastic food and drink provided at events for those who attend. I'm referring specifically to the C4 gathering at Bowling Green each spring and Corvettes at Carlisle in the summer. That food alone is worth far more than the price of our dues. I can tell you I don't get nearly as much from my 30-year-plus membership in PCA (Porsche Club of America). I thank David Johnson, Mark Horner and all the others who were once again responsible for this year's great membership packet and for all the other things you do to make this, in my honest opinion, the best car club there is!!

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Can't wait to receive the packet; hopefully in today's mail for here on the West Coast? I agree about the Registry, value, and the heart and soul the board members put into this organization :cheers:. I'll have to wear my new shirt at the local Cars and Coffee next month.

[Scrrem]

Mark,
Great job on the shirt! Love the car color.....RED!!

I received shipping notification on Fri 3/6 and double checked the tracking # a few minutes ago. My packet departed San Antonio yesterday ... wonder why USPS kept it so many days before shipping? Should arrive by this weekend, though.

Prolly cuz they had to inspect it for terrorist's materials, found the T-shirt, and the inspector wanted to wear it for a couple days - living the dream. But, that is just a guess! (But, check it for BO!:p

Mark said he sent them out alphabetically. In that case, it will (like always) mean waiting and waiting (again) for my "turn":cry: (Story of my life!!!) LOL!

Paul,
Got mine yesterday so go out and stand by the mailbox, should be your lucky day.
Great looking shirt, nice enough to wear to church.

[Vette Guy]

All,

I should have the remaining packages out today.... I sent all the easy to ship items out first, and all the "custom" and international shipments for last, as they take me a bit more time to package and ship.

I appreciate everyone's patience, and am glad to hear that "we did good."

Best Regards,
Mark

[-=Jeff=-]

Got mine yesterday.. Are we able to order more shirts from somewhere?

[carter200]

Got mine packet today and all is good except the car color was to be black on mine since I wanted the faster color Z ;)

[cvette98pacecar]

Wow, I guess D is after Z seeing as how I did not get mine yet. Who knows maybe tomorrow.

[JimZRyd]

Sorry about the alphabet mix up Robert, as I got mine today. Tracking USPS had said this past Friday but you know how the post office can be:censored:

Anyway, nice job on the shirt guys! Looks awesome! The user I'd on the name badge is a neat idea also!

I did not get a USPS tracking number either. Must not have shipped yet.

[RussMcB]

Wow, I guess D is after Z seeing as how I did not get mine yet. Who knows maybe tomorrow.See post #29. Apparently you are a "Special Needs" member. :-)

[Paul Workman]

Got mine today (W), but didn't see a tracking # either. It just showed up.

NICE shirt!!

[cvette98pacecar]

See post #29. Apparently you are a "Special Needs" member. :-)

There is nothing custom or International. So I do not see the reference to post #29 unless you are trying to be funny. Which is that case I can see the humor.

[Z06scentair]

Mine arrived today!

Awesome job guy's, everyone that was involved should receive a raise.

Check is in the mail.......lol

All,

The remainder of membership packages were delivered to the post office today...

For all members in the United States, the USPS system automatically sent a tracking number to the email address we have on file for you, and cc'd me. Please let me know if you have not received your tracking number - I'll be happy to send my copy.

As for the method of sending out ~500 packages.... I went with the easy ones first - straight membership packages w/o additional items. By doing this, I shipped by size in batches with packages of similar weight, and have been getting out ~125 per day. The "custom" and international orders shipped last, as weighing each package to determine weight (even required for flat rate packages) takes a bit more time.... customs forms speak for themselves - actually not, which is why these take so much time.

As for the design, your Board of Directors didn't just accept what was presented to them, rather they put a lot of thought into it, and provided our artist with the vision to create a sensational graphic worthy of our 10th (Silver) Anniversary, hence the color of the shirt. A special thanks to Rich Muhr and Joe Cagianut for providing the high-resolution photos needed to produce such a fantastic graphic.

I will now be working on transferring Membership over to Dominic Sorresso, who has been anxiously awaiting to get started!

Best Regards,
Mark

[Gunny]

... For all members in the United States, the USPS system automatically sent a tracking number to the email address we have on file for you, ...

Thanks, Mark, for providing the tracking numbers and getting all the membership kits in the mail. It's an incredibly difficult/demanding task to perform in a short span of time that I remember all too well.

Update on my membership kit from the provided tracking number:
March 6, 2015 Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS
March 10, 2015 , 5:28 am Accepted at USPS Origin Sort Facility SCHERTZ, TX 78154
March 10, 2015 , 6:43 am Arrived at USPS Origin Facility SAN ANTONIO, TX 78284
March 10, 2015 , 10:56 am Departed USPS Facility SAN ANTONIO, TX 78284
March 12, 2015 , 1:02 am Arrived at USPS Origin Facility DALLAS, TX 75398

hmmm .... package took 2 days to travel from San Antonio to Dallas, normally a 4 hour drive. Hopefully, it will leave Dallas for Atlanta before the day is out. Don't know how long it will take for the kit to travel from Dallas to Atlanta but USPS packages usually take 2 days to make the 160 miles from Atlanta to where I live, so I'm hoping to see my membership kit sometime next week. Gotta love the efficiency of the USPS.

Mark, you've done a great job getting all the kits out to the membership and I'm not complaining ... just observing what I've always suspected about our USPS "service".

[Roadster]

Received mine yesterday, the shirt is great!!!! but didn't know what I was thinking as I ordered an X lg and it is big..... if anyone would like to trade a Large for an Xtra large, let me know.....thanks......

[JFFerner]

Got mine today...everything's great! Thanks.

And so it goes...Jim

3/12/15 update
March 12, 2015 , 5:45 pm Arrived at USPS Facility COPPELL, TX 75099

Well, it only took 16+ hours to make it from Dallas to Coppell (28 miles according to Google). I can hardly wait to see the next USPS update (i.e. how far the package got and how long it took). This is sorta amusing, in a warped sense ... at least it's providing my daily humor.

George, This is terrible. It reminds me of a joke. Do you know how to keep someone is suspense? (Big Pause) I'll tell you tomorrow.

I am sure it is because we are away from major metropolitan areas. My shirt will go San Antionio, Dallas, Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Frankenmuth then be delivered to my house. I garanttee you it will show up Monday when I am in Atlanta.

[Gunny]

... My shirt will go San Antionio, Dallas, Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Frankenmuth then be delivered to my house ...

It reminds me of an incident many years ago when I was in the Dallas area playing a gig and was literally minutes away from missing my flight back to the Tri-Cities (TN) airport. I was traveling fairly light EXCEPT for my tuba (which was in a large, damage-proof trunk on wheels). When I arrived curbside at DFW I explained to the sky cap my need to catch my flight that was already boarding and could he manage to get my tuba on the plane, too? No problem, he says. In my rush to get through security & board the plane I totally didn't think about putting a $20 in his hand (sky caps at that time were not officially supposed to be tipped). Anyway, I had an uneventful flight home but no tuba when I arrived. Piedmont Airlines (remember them?) had no idea where my tuba was but started searching. Approx. a week later it arrived after traveling to Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, LAX and finally back home (gee, thanks Mr. SkyCap). The tuba was OK, I was ticked (but got over it), and, most importantly, I learned a valuable lesson.

[philco]

Received mine today in Kansas very impressed shirt is cool.:cheers:

[Agpilot1]

My packet showed up today and I just want to say OUTSTANDING work to all involved! :dancing

The design/graphics on the shirts really show off what the ZR1 is built around, the heart of the Beast--the great LT-5, and I will proudly wear it.

Thanks for all the items in the packet.

On a side note... REALLY wish I could make it to Bowling Green in May for the Gathering, but unfortunately it is my busiest time of year spraying crops in the MS delta. That Mountain Run sounds like a blast also... Maybe one year..would like to see some of you guys/gals in person...:cheers:

[edram454]

got mine yesterday. shirt design is great. It looks like it took a lot of thought and a good artist to make such an impressive design. Love it.

Shoulda' bought locobobs plenum and injector housing while you where tearing things apart and we could have talked about whether red or black where fastest. Other en that, and we know black is faster.

Steve, every body knows that the black ones are the best ones!;)

That's NOT TRUE! The RED ones are. They'll fly, and I have first-hand proof! :o

[GOLDCYLON]

Mine came today... But it was sent to my old address. I updated my address profile months ago. I want to make sure this is corrected before the next kit goes out next year. Nice shirt

Paul,
I knew you'd agree! :cheers:

[cvette98pacecar]

Love the new T-shirt!


I have to find out what are left of the 2008 and 2009 like these, I really like the design on the front.

[Kevin]

I know why it was done, but the "10th anniversary" on the front and "25th" on the back is a little funny

[Paul Workman]

I have to find out what are left of the 2008 and 2009 like these, I really like the design on the front.

I suppose that's cuz some of us have more realestate in front than others... :sign10:
