Re: NW area status?
Am I missing something? Wouldn't the event be listed under the PNW regional area of this forum? If a PNW Z Brother is out of $ I am also willing to send some $ to help offset his expenses.

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 followed the bylaws and refused the payment request. Their position does not allow consideration of anything but facts. Compassion is not an option to them. BUT, we as ZR-1 owners and registery members can and will help our brother recover his loss. Nick post your mailing address. We want to send you our support contrinution. If you get more than your loss save it for another NW event but the next time make sure you have it all documented and there are no loopholes. Regardless, we can still have a "private" gathering anytime we want even if it's not approved the the head masters. Now if our commanding officers don't like or approve this, than Section 4 of the bylaws states that a majority of the Executive Board can cancel membeships for the likes of Jeff Flint, aka bad guy, and all of the others including me who have voiced negative opinions and challenged executive authority. Stripped of our Registry membership we will still have pride of ZR-1 ownership and of being part of the brotherhood that helps their members.

Re: NW area status?
All,
How goes the Battle? I really don't know what the issues are but it is about getting together of ZR1 owners, networking & having fun. I don't have no issues with anyone or any ZR1. If you are not on the distro list go to http://pnwzr1.net request to be added to the e-mail list. Lets move on & let NorthWest region be the best & the most active of folks in the ZR1 community.

Re: NW area status?
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, MGCC, http://www.majesticglass.org/ Need me to help you in some way to make this reality??? Bill PS: This fall is very busy for us but come spring, I'll work on a Whidbey Island cruise for us.

Re: NW area status?
Bill:
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.
