Re: Newsletter Poll
Yes, I liked the newsletter! I miss the newsletter! I liked the paper copy to keep in my files for reference. Being an "old guy" I still like the paper version. I like to sit in my old chair and read it.

Re: Newsletter Poll
How much was the refunded amount supposed to be? I have spoken to numerous current and former members who are very unhappy about having paid for the newsletter and not receiving what they paid for. I know many members who didn't rejoin for 2012 because of the lack of the newsletter in 2011. It doesn't seem right that topic of refunding money owed to members for a service not received just gets swept under the rug. This matter should be addressed properly. If it gets redirected to the members-only section, then former members who didn't rejoin this year because of their unhappiness over the lack of a newsletter will never know what is being said and done.

Re: Newsletter Poll
Years for a newsletter to get accomplished?!?
Where are the Refunds? Based on the membership numbers there is alot of $$$$$ owed to the Members who never got what they signed up for. Also, there are ton of Members who are no longer Members as a result of how this organization continues to be run. You promised "Change" when you ran for office. If anything, the problem has gotten even worse, so far in fact that items are discussed in "Member's Only" Section. Excuses are offered up left and right, and nothing improves. The organization is so poorly run that you Failed to execute a quarterly newsletter. Yes, Quarterly means 4 newsletters a year! (1 per every 3 months) Not once, did a VP or President Apologize, instead just dodging posts, lame excuses and posting in "Members Only" Section. With all the $$$ that seams to be floating around in a bank account somewhere... Why don't you just Pay Dwight to do the newsletter? Volunteers simply do not work and it has proven itself year after year. Meritocracy runs rampant, excuses are a dime a dozen. When you have guys/gals who don't want to pay $60 (basically a tank of gas) because of what has transpired in this club, it shows that the state of affairs of the club is pretty sad. Here is a novel concept for Board Members: Why do posts get edited or deleted all together? Why do issues get swept under the rug? Why don't you be transparent and accountable to the ZR-1 Membership??? I pay thousands of dollars to Memberships that are yearly, yet refuse to pay $60 for this Membership. Others do the exact same thing! Ever wonder why that is?? How bad do you think things have to be before Membership Fees are denied by a Member (ME) who has been a Member since the beginning of the Club. Last edited by xlr8nflorida; 10-15-2012 at 05:47 PM. |

Re: Newsletter Poll
I think we're better off under the current leadership, the newsletter not withstanding. I couldn't agree more with what was stated in another thread.
"As a founding member of this club let me just say that all this childish jib jab is really disheartening. The Registry was started as a knowledge base for a specific car.....our cars. The friends I have made over the last 15 years of ownership of ZR-1's are invaluable to me and all the BS that's been happening of late disgusts me!" Charlie Arnold MO State Dir _____________________________ I sure hope the complaining stops and the helping others with car problems increases.

Scott, 1. If you hope complaining stops, how about you stop the complaining about others' concerns & allow those concerns to be heard & addressed? 2. Why is it ok for you to hijack my thread about the newsletter by trolling in & discussing a topic that Dave K indicated was for the 'members only' section? I would like to reply to posts made by Dennis & Jim Voter (replies made directly to me, btw - no hijacking here), but the thread is gone, but you've obviously cherry picked your own portion of a thread from that section to post here. 3. Since 'members only' is being dragged over here, shouldn't I be able to reply to Charlie's post? I won't bother, because I don't wish to stir the pot for no other reason than to create trouble - I would ask you to kindly show the same respect.

"How can you help Paul with the (sic) newsletter?" I saw a few suggestions but so far no one posting complaints has drafted an article, or said that they will draft an article. Articles are what we need to create a newsletter. The discussion has gone around the same circle several times and has degenerated to a sparring match. This thread is closed. Jim Voter |
