NW area status?

[ZRWON]

Nick, have you officially been approved by those in control as our Rergional rep? If not what neeed be done to get this finalized?
As I posted earlier,
How and why we are to where we are today is water over the dam.
It all boils down to this:
1, We in the NW had a gathering that for whatever reasons did not follow the bylaws. As a result one of our brothers is out of pocket > $800 that he incurred thinking the Registry would reimburse him.

2. Our executives performed their fiduciary duties and followed the bylaws; refused the payment request.
Their position does not allow consideration of anything but facts. Compassion is not an option to them.

I want to draw closure on all this crap abnd make the NW region stronger than ever it has been. I now have 2 younger new ZR-1 owners now living within a few miles of us and would like them to become Registry members and be involved in NW region's events void of any future political BS. They both have become members of our local Corvette Club,

Need me to help you in some way to make this reality???

PS: This fall is very busy for us but come spring, I'll work on a Whidbey Island cruise for us.

Effective as of Spring of 2009, I had resigned as the Northwest Regional Director. I "took it back" unofficially this year to make sure that the Northwest event would happen. As we all know, it happened, whether officially "sanctioned" or not.

I appreciate your support, but I must respectfully decline officially taking the position again. Without Registry financial support, and given the political climate posed by the current Board (and, any successor Board, as far as I can see by the nominations), I cannot, in good conscience, accept. Even the promise of Registry financial support going forward, if we dot all the "i's" and cross all the "t's," does not provide sufficient comfort for me that our event(s) will be supported. I don't trust 'em.

In addition, as I have stated privately to Ron Kreigh, I will not be renewing my membership for 2011. Obviously, money speaks volumes, and I'm hanging onto my money going forward.

Thus goes founding member #32.

Thanks.
