Michael,
As we are talking election results the only result I have seen is
that of POCA President, I understood there was at least one other
contested position. It would be nice to know the full election
results and whom are our representatives on the team that you will
need to succeed in your journey.

Good Morning,
Merry Christmas to you all.
Let me preface this email/memo with a simple and direct statement.
I want only what is best for POCA, I want to grow the club and I
want
everybody to be happy ( if that is possible )
The elections were just concluded, the people that the MAJORITY of
you want
to run the club are in place, that is after all the purpose of
elections is
it not?
I have a great many plans for the club that I hope to garner support
for
through the proper method with BOD support, many of those ideas have
been
floated around here.
That needs to stop.
The Forum is not the place for club business or procedure, the forum
is a
PUBLIC RELATIONS and TECHNICAL tool to both help attract new members
and to
help each other out with issues on our cars. It is not, nor was it
every a
confessional, leadership suggestion box or time out corner.
The last week of postings to any outsiders lurking makes us all look
like a
big disfunctional family and would be enough reason to not join and
for
others ( who already have)A to call for the forum to cease.A That
is not an
acceptable response, but neither are these posts.
The new website will have a member's only area for such
conversations, but
you all are killing any chance of attracting new members with all
this
drivel.
If you are in office, you should know better, you are already
violating the
Code of Ethics.
You if ran for office and lost, please return to chapter business or
run
again in the next election, but this has to stop, be a team player
and set
an example.
I am establishing a new committee called "The Cleveland Block", it
will
consist of me, your VP, Mike Burnett and one representative from
each
chapter.A We will conduct a once a month conference call to bounce
ideas
around and hear what you have to say.A It is here that you can
channel your
creative thoughts and useful suggestions in the proper fashion to
actually
get something done, because I will be there listening to everybody.
Whinning, back seat driving, second guessing and undermining those
that you
have piut into office to work on your behalf is not the answer.
Think about seeing the fiorum for the first time during the last
week, it's
embarassing.
My election was a call, if not an overwhelming mandate for change,
please
contribute to that change by using the forum as intended.A A We
need new
members, I hazard to estimate the avgerage age of POCA membership,
easily
over 60, if not 65 years old.A We need new members, the people
buying these
4,000 plus cars and paying a healthy price to get them, new
membership is
ythe ONLY way this club will survive another 20 years, most of us
reading
this will be dead by then.
Please help me make things better by conducting yourselves like
recruiters,
you are one and each post represents the club.A Panteras may be the
bad
boys of exoctic cars, we are loud, brash and quick to get going, but
we
need to also be a polished and well lubed machine to go the
distance.
