[DeTomaso] POCA Membership Dues Analysis

Now wait a minute Dick, what you write here is WAY too level-headed for this forum! 
Who is this really??
All joking aside, I obtain multiple bids for every one of a 'number' of projects that I need to conduct every year. If I found a company that could save me $8,000 a year on a particular project, I would have felt like I won the lottery! 
Sure, every once in a while the new company who submitted the lowest bid does not do as good of a job of the old one but when that happens, I go back to the next bid which sometimes was the same company I used previously and all is back to normal.$8,000 a year is an awful lot of money just to stay with the company that you have and had comfort with. 
The statement of adding color to the newsletter would of course cost a bit more money but when you consider that we would be saving $8,000 off the top, we have a touch more money to play with and the savings would still be very sizable. 
Plus, if any car club newsletter in this country is worthy of several color pages, it absolutely would be Jack DeRyke's!! This club is and will be indebted to you forever Jack! Thanks for the wonderful work you do to keep our colorful jalopies on the road!!

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] POCA Membership Dues Analysis 

Ed, thanks for the clarification of the misinformation and non-productive
comments that have been made in recent weeks, many very personal and
vindictive, and quite frankly detrimental to the club.

It is good to have different points of view on club business. But to
present one's point of view in a negative and personal  manner, does
nothing but diminish that person's potentially valued point, and their
persona in the eyes of others.

From some of the comments made, it appears obvious to me that many of the
detractors do not have much experience in running a business. And make no
mistake POCA is a business, albeit a non-profit one. To thrive, this club
must not stand on it's laurels, but continue to enhance it's value add to
it's customers.

As far as looking at the printer used for the production of the newsletter,
for the board to not look for less expensive options, as with any other
expense, with better offerings, is irresponsible.

I can only wonder what is going on behind the scenes that would have folks
want to stay with a service provider that is noncompetitive and provides
less for much more money.  We have enough cronyism in our government.
Hopefully that is not the case here, and there has been a reason for
keeping a more expensive service that provides less.

I won't bother to comment on the absurdity of continuing to mail the
newsletter, that can be printed by anyone  that is not to lazy to take 3
minutes to print it, since that may be construed as negative.

As regards to a point Ed stated, the club is not run by one person.  Each
person on the board has a say, with a majority required to decide on every
issue. Pointing ones frustration at one person is just that, pointless.

Items approved by the board, were "sold" to the board by a member of the
board to the other members of the board, showing how approving that item
would benefit the club member's experience, with the underlying financial
implications outlined that would strengthen the clubs long term financial
health.

Constructive criticism is just that: criticism presented in a constructive
manner, with negative comments of a personal nature irrelevant and
therefore non-constructive.

I for one think the new POCA board is doing a fantastic job, and to think
they are doing their job for free. What a deal...

By the way, if someone feels they want to get personal with their comments,
take it out on me.  I deserve it for letting 6831 sit idle with a blown
header gasket for years.

Peace, fellow "cat" owners.

      Ed, thanks for the clarification of the misinformation and
      non-productive comments that have been made in recent weeks, many
   very
      personal and vindictive, and quite frankly detrimental to the club.
      It is good to have different points of view on club business. But to
      present one's point of view in a negative and personalA  manner,
   does
      nothing but diminish that person's potentially valued point, and
   their
      persona in the eyes of others.
      From some of the comments made, it appears obvious to me that many
   of
      the detractors do not have much experience in running a business.
   And
      make no mistake POCA is a business, albeit a non-profit one. To
   thrive,
      this club must not stand on it's laurels, but continue to enhance
   it's
      value add to it's customers.
      As far as looking at the printer used for the production of the
      newsletter, for the board to not look for less expensive options, as
      with any other expense, with better offerings, is irresponsible.
      I can only wonder what is going on behind the scenes that would have
      folks want to stay with a service provider that is noncompetitive
   and
      provides less for much more money.A  We have enough cronyism in our
      government. Hopefully that is not the case here, and there has been
   a
      reason for keeping a more expensive service that provides less.
      I won't bother to comment on the absurdity of continuing to mail the
      newsletter, that can be printed by anyoneA  that is not to lazy to
   take
      3 minutes to print it, since that may be construed as negative.
      As regards to a point Ed stated, the club is not run by one person.A
      Each person on the board has a say, with a majority required to
   decide
      on every issue. Pointing ones frustration at one person is just
   that,
      pointless.
      Items approved by the board, were "sold" to the board by a member of
      the board to the other members of the board, showing how approving
   that
      item would benefit the club member's experience, with the underlying
      financial implications outlined that would strengthen the clubs long
      term financial health.
      Constructive criticism is just that: criticism presented in a
      constructive manner, with negative comments of a personal nature
      irrelevant and therefore non-constructive.
      I for one think the new POCA board is doing a fantastic job, and to
      think they are doing their job for free. What a deal...
      By the way, if someone feels they want to get personal with their
      comments, take it out on me.A  I deserve it for letting 6831 sit
   idle
      with a blown header gasket for years.
      Peace, fellow "cat" owners.

      Still one of the few remaining original Pantera owners still lucky
      enough to be on the sunny side of the grass.

        False it's in the bylaws and has been for some time now. Warning

        30 days, at 60 days the membership expires, check the Fiat club,
        Ferrari club, Porsche club, they all have similar rules.

        False - check your facts, the rebate was welcome by the majority
        chapter presidents.

        That is true, and that is why we are trying to get competitive
        quotes for printing to try and save money. MS found a printer that
        is $8000 per year cheaper than the one we are currently using.

        False - check your facts, most non profits have two year reserve
   in
        the bank, the Ferrari and Porsche clubs have $1,000,000 each in
        reserve. You can google there income statements.

        False, if you look at the meeting minutes of the BOD, most things
   we
        have coated on have been either unanimous vote or close to it, in
        fact there very few times it was 5-4. Again we vote in the best
        interest of the club
        This forum is supposed to be about DeTomaso, hence the name; and
        should not be used for POCA bashing, it really makes us all look
        bad. If you have an issue talk with someone about your concern,
        preferably your chapter president, they are your representative as
        in any organization. It's very easy to simply pick up the phone
        instead of using this email list as a podium for your disdain of
   MS.
        It's obvious, we get it. Please take it offline.
        If you think you can do a better job than volunteer as I did, and
        many others before me, and run for office.
        Kind regards
