anyone out here ???

[Thunder]

pmed DMAG, like it says to, on Saturday night when I got back from Lawrence. Thomstud and I talked about it and I think our "little club" is ready. (haven't heard anything)
The discription should be what Chris came up with. "Where the middle meets"
The region is probably SE Nebraska, SW Iowa, eastern Kansas, western Missouri. Or "tornado alley"
As for a fee, no. I would like to have everyone have a LXCentral sticker though, but not required.

[imahemi]

great!!!!.... can you do the vinyl in flat black?

also... you may have to try and PM tehking or Matt R... b/c if IRC DMAG isnt on much anymore....

[Thunder]

Ryan, I'll check with the sticker guy. As for the banner, we have some creative people here. If you have an idea for a banner post it and everyone can vote.

[PaCharger]

For the line over the banner - might I suggest : "the only way we could get Ryan (imahemi) to drive more than 5,000 miles a year"

[boggart]

I'd consider a sticker, but am not a fan of the current one. I don't like the font on Central, the big gap between LX and Central, nor the way Central leans to the right. But that's just one mans opinion.

[wickedchargerrt]

me and a friend do decals part time too guys, just fyi, and i could just mail them to you guys. Not trying to take any business from the person who's doing them now i'm just mentioning it.

or something of the sort

[wickedchargerrt]

maybe turn the t into a tornado

there are lots of politics that need to be figured out if this is gonna be an "official " club that the head guys are gonna have to decide on . By official i mean if you are gonna do any "for profit" events , car shows or cruises. If the club is never gonna make money for profit, then it makes things a lot easier. However fees are part of the decision also. I've started and help run over 5 clubs. things that will have to be decided

for profit?
if no

What will the club benefit?
will we get sponsors and discounts for members?
how many meets a year?
do we wanna put on a show?
if so, not for profit, what would be our charity?

if yes

corporate, llc, ?
club must be insured to put on events on any property not insured by a business?
hq members will have ssn numbers on all club bank accounts. this includes a min of 3 people in a corporation which is the treas, vp and p
these people will also have to do taxes on the club every year
this will mandate club fees



rules

yes

what are they?
who decides them?
who enoforces them?
And the punishments/banning of members?

no

n/a




membership?

is anyone with an lx accepted?
if not who decides?
Who has the power to drop a member?



You have to remember this also. Whereas the first thing people say is "sure everyone can be in" you have to remember there will be people you do not want representing the club. They could be drunk drivers, criminals, idiots, or anyone that embarrasses the club and represents it at the same time.


This is just the tip of the iceberg.

You're absolutely right there, I think for starters it should be a "non-profit" club, making any of the money brought in For club usage to set up events Make Banners, pay for equipment to be used, food for get togethers....

All LX owners welcome as the original Idea was, but I know that If I was to see s/o with a Sticker on the window acting in a manner Un-befitting a member, we would have to figgure out a punishment sort, banning if the infraction was deep enough

A "Cabinet" so to speak would have to be made, Pres, Vice-Pres, Secretary, etc

# of events would be set, but in the stage we are at right now I'm not sure we are ready to set that # as we dont have many Venues or # of members totally hashed out yet...

Many things need to be discussed before we really get our own section, IMO


As for the Logo, The letters being too far apart can be fixed at the application, cut it, narrow the space, and stick.
The font could be changed slightly, but not in a crazy way.... I think all the Logos should at least be really close!




This is all just my opinion guys, feel free to tell me to shut it

• Preferably a banner (468 X 60) for your forum - need
• A sentence of text for your forum description - need
• What region your club covers - need

theres the first two...feel free to suggest changes to the design

I was hoping we could cover more of NW Arkansas, NE Oklahoma, Western Mo, Eastern Kansas, and maybe reach northern states too... I think more or less, It can be for the people to decide if they wanna make the drive to the M&G's, once again, my opinion
