Hi Boyd,
POCA chapters, like any social group, change over time with the mix of
people. The level of activity and the types of activities vary with the
people that are in the chapter at the time. Some chapters like racing,
some like wine tasting, and some like shows. Some are quiet, and some
are more active. The Long Island chapter has been quiet for the time
that I have been around. It is too bad in that there are a number of
Panteras on Long Island and in surrounding areas. As I recall from my
air traffic control days on LI, it was a good area for some drives.
The lifeblood of the chapter is people willing to step up and organize
events. The fact that you are enthusiastic is great. The best thing you
can do to revitalize the LI chapter is to set up an event, invite people
from the LI chapter and from surrounding areas such as the Jersey and
EPA chapters. It need not be fancy. You could meet somewhere, go for a
drive, and have lunch or dinner at the destination. (Having a nice meal
at the destination is a good way to encourage spouses to join the
event.) You may only get two or three cars in the first event, but when
people have fun with their cars in a group setting, they tend to come
back and bring more people with them.
POCA certainly supports anybody who is passionate about supporting the
community. If you would like to be president or events coordinator of
the LI chapter, let's chat with Cliff, Bob, and others in the area. I
am sure that we can come up with a mutually agreeable plan to move
forward. Let's talk this weekend. I'll contact you off-line.
Mark
