NW region ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZRWON · 08-27-2010

With all the top management changes do we still have a regional org concept?
If yes, who replaced Jeff as our NW regional coordinator?
What events are planned for us?
What financial support from the top organization is available for regional activities?
Do we still exist out here?
What's going on with us?

Hi Bill - I believe Nick Solandros was the representative, but I'm not sure if he is still representing your area. I've sure enjoyed the gatherings in the PNW in the past and I hope they continue into the future. How's your beast treating you?

I was wondering this myself. I have attended the last 2 PNWZR1 gatherings and they were awesome. I hope they continue for many more years.

Certainly hope they don't go away. I believe others have expressed interest in continuing them.

Bill: I have "unofficially" stepped up and taken responsibility for the Northwest region once again. Depending upon the $upport HQ gives us now and in the future, we will be making plans to continue our annual Summer event as well as other get-togethers throughout the year. One of these days, you will have to join us!

I know I personally have expressed interest many times in seeing you and your Beast at one of our events!

If we have to, we'll come to you!

We have had a lot of fun in the Northwest with our events, and I for one feel it would be a shame to let our area down and not have support for the local ZR-1'ers and other Registry members. I know others feel the same as I do, including non-local members.

Thanks for the response. I have never been able to attend any of the Gatherings since moving back to Whidbey Island in 1994 At my age traveling any where is big deal for my old body. The 20th gathering was really a big trip and then required a couple stops both ways...getting old sucks. Traveling is even a greater problem for my wife. That said I really do like to read all the emails of what's happening in our area and on the natioal level
Some how I must have been taken off the mailing list. I heard nothing after all the posts about BG.
Please add my email to the region mailing list. I am a founding member and want to at least read about all the members and activities

BG gathering was one of the best Corvette events I ever attended. I am so pleased to have been there with all the old friends and putting faces with names
Thanks again and glad you stepped up to keep us active out here

let me try and set the record straight

the board voted 5 to 3 to not fund the PNW this year

Procedures for this event were not met. This was a private event and not announced or published prior to the date. There were local members who were unaware of the event. Expenditures were not approved prior to the event.
we have some fairly simple procedures to ensure events are announced, funding requested, reviewed, and approved prior to the event happening. this year that didn't happen which led to the vote to not reimburse.
going forward, I am going to publish guidelines to ensure that this doesn't happen again as I want to encourage regional events that give all club members a chance to get together and enjoy the ZR-1 experience and comraderie that the club is intended to support.
but the bottom line is that any event must be announced, available for all members to attend, and costs pre-approved as has happened in past years.

Does this mean that for Carlisle 2 weeks ago, the 6 board members that went to that show were paid a total of $1800.00 from the Registry's piggy bank? That would make Carlisle quite an expensive gathering for the Registry to fund wouldn't it?
