NW area status? - 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?

I too was wondering what will happen to the NW event. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 that I attended. I hope it is possible for it to continue. Hopefully the Registry will continue to support the only gathering that takes place on the west coast.

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 support the local ZR-1'ers and other members. I know others feel the same as I do, including non-local members.

Foks:

There was a group of ZR1 people who met at Jeff Flints over the usual Rose City Vette gathering weekend. I guess it was a private party and did not represent the ZR1 registry. Nick, I heard you were there and can verify if this is correct or not.

Seems to me others will need to step uo to plan some events this coming year for Registry members and be sure to invite all.

The email I got from Jeff did not say Private?
It was smaller this year for sure, but it's was members that showed.

Was this years "not" funded??
Where is my annual fee going to?

Good questions. Maybe we need some more "clarity" in the Registry's financials.

Be my guest! Please!

The truth of matter is was for the most part it was a private event.

To begin with there was a lot of confusion about having the club support it this year. We had every intent in doing so. However we have a collection of emails over the last few months where the person running it went back and forth and other emails saying the event was on and then off again.

Also noted was the event was never broadcasted over any media.

For example why wasn't the event ever mention here?
Nothing was sent on the ZR-1 Net list nor the ZR-1 Net Registry list?
Also we have a newsletter and nothing was posted there as well.

So it's tough to have an event if no one knew about it.

Hopefully next year we'll have better communications and we plan on having a more formal mechanism to qualify an event.

So, I take it that Nick got stuck with the bill.....
Great, I feel like a AZZ. Eat and leave. Nick let me know if I can send you some money your way.

7 years of going to the PNW Gathering and I always felt great giving my annual dues, knowing it went to a great event. I will have to think twice on the next renewal. I can not believe the Registry is that low on cash or that tight on money they could not help in some way.
As to the "Private Event" I sat with paying members eating and having a good time.

For those who don't know, or never paid any attention. The PNW Gathering also goes hand in hand with Rose City Corvette show. http://www.rosecitycorvettes.org/ You can always check there too. That's what makes this a great event, you have the " ZR-1 " stuff plus Rose City stuff to do all weekend long. No Down Time!!! Always Go Go Go

Nick I would like to say sorry, This is not what you should have to put up with. Nice to see the Registry step up and help you this way.
