Testing Waters : Old Meets New Gathering
Nothing is written in stone yet, just an idea that I had last night and wanted to extend to the community to get their feelings on it.
Jeff, with you being a bit more active in the community and from WV I could certainly use your help when it comes to organizing things. What I'd like to do, if at all possible is try to get a single representative in all the 'sections' of Mid-A to see if they can gather their local crowd... then have one meeting spot for all of us.
My goal is to have everyone intermingle. I know in the past people sort of stuck with the crowd they knew. Hopefully at this event it will be one big crowd versus a lot of small crowds.

i feel like the COs avoid meets where the newer people will be in attendance, even though they claim the leadership is representative and fair 


I'm with Jeff and Chad on this. Let's wait til it gets a little warmer and maybe do a meet, greet, and eat somewhere. Does early to mid March sound good?

I am more than certain I can get the HAW crowd down there. Some of the B'More guys will be tough. Richmond is a loooooong haul for them but I'll see what I can do.

Sorry you feel that way and I can't speak for the MD/DC Co's but if you ask around or come to a SOVA meet I'm almost always at the meets around here.
Bill, we've spoken on the phone a few times. You are SIGNIFICANTLY more active in the local S2000 community. I'm still good friends with the HR Cowboys (if you're OG, you understand this). I should be able to gather the old school guys, but am going to need your help with the new guys.
I suggest we find a park w/ ample space and parking where we can grill. And have games like the 3 legged race, potato sack race and egg on the spoon race... Just a friendly suggestion. Some of the meets in the past have been the run of the mill lemme hang w/ my buddies n sit around. I can bring advil for skip, wingman and the like if they are able to make it so they can participate as well.
