carwash · 09-11-2007, 10:45 AM

I would like to nominate Lisa Belcuore (tjjeepjeep) for Club Secretary.

94Dodge Truggy · 09-11-2007, 11:06 AM

If you are holding a current position and want to resign or change positions please specify on the website if possible. I would like to be a larger part of the Core offroading club and would be willing to run for a position available. I would like to maintain the family oriented qualities that Core has, add growth to the members of the club, and help out in any way possible be it trail run scheduling, technical advise etc...

carwash · 09-11-2007, 11:22 AM

I will not be running for Vice President again. Sorry, i obviously don't have the time to do as much as i could be.

I would like to recommend and nominate Scott Pater for Vice President. I think it would be good for scott to have a larger part of the club. He seems to be very active, and is all about keeping the club going the current direction that it is.

I will still continue to be in control of the website and forums, with hopefully Brad Watts continuing to assist me with that.

94Dodge Truggy · 09-11-2007, 11:30 AM

With all of the work you do on the site and your new business venture I would like you to hold a position. Maybe the club members need to talk about rotating the meetings in locations to help others who have long travel times to the current location.

carwash · 09-11-2007, 11:45 AM

well, most of the members live up that way. We used to hold it at a more central location, but that was when we had members spread out all over. The multi-location idea is not a good one i don't think. Need to be stable, so that new members and visitors can find us whenever needed.

I would be happy to be a trustee, just to hold a small amount of control in the club, have an officer's vote, etc. But, i just don't think i contribute enough to the running of the club at this time to hold a position as high as VP.

I think yer a great man for the job scott, and i will second my own motion to nominate you. HA!

94Dodge Truggy · 09-11-2007, 11:56 AM

I would like to have the opportunity to be the vice president of Core. Thanks Carwash for the nomination.

tjjeepjeep · 09-11-2007, 04:31 PM

I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the club as Secretary. Thanks, Mike, for the nomination.

94Dodge Truggy · 09-11-2007, 04:41 PM

I would like to 2nd the nomination for tjjepjeep as secretary. (

hope you can keep records better than you wheel

) LOL!

JasonCJ7 · 09-11-2007, 11:11 PM

Man ya'll saying I did a bad job as secretary this past year??? J/K

All joking aside I would be up for any officers position if someone wants to nominate me.

carwash · 09-12-2007, 12:38 AM

no problem at all jason, couldn't have done a better job, in my opinion. Just trying to mix things up a bit.

As acting secretary, I assume you remain in position if you want to be, and are included in the hopper for the vote for your position. If that isn't the case, I will nominate you as well for secretary... how you like that!!!

jeepmanjeff · 09-12-2007, 10:33 PM

I accept the nomination for President again...Anyone else want it? Don't be afraid :)

jeepmanjeff · 09-12-2007, 10:37 PM

I would also like to nomiate Scott Armstrong, Jim Smith, as trustees.

krawlin85toy · 09-12-2007, 11:22 PM

I'll run for president, and suggest that Bob Heath runs for treasurer again since he does such a fine job!

:p

Are you still interested enough in the club and want to be the president? I want to make sure that you are still into it and that you are not feeling like you have no options.

carwash · 09-13-2007, 09:31 AM

I think he's trying to say you don't do enough work and he wants you out of the club Jeff... damn these noobs... hahahah

you skip one meeting to go to the most exciting football game ever, and you are being stripped of your official position... how's that for gratitude!! hahahaah

just kidding, i know what you mean Scott, you just want to make sure he doesn't feel obligated to hold the position. I think Jeff is an interested in the club as anyone, and makes a great president. but i agree, others should run for it if they are interested. sometimes change can be good.

94Dodge Truggy · 09-13-2007, 09:54 AM

I have known Jeff for a long time now. (over 15 years/ back in the 250 quad days) He is a great speaker and has been very benificial to the club. I just want to make sure that I know where he stands. ;)

tjjeepjeep · 09-13-2007, 10:02 AM

Maybe it's just me since I'm fairly new and have just recently become more involved with the club itself. However, I find myself wondering what the responsibilities and/or member expectations are of each of the officer positions. Can someone help me to understand?

This is going to require alot of typing. :o Good question!

JasonCJ7 · 09-13-2007, 08:12 PM

I actually was hoping to be nominated for vp or trustee. I have been a member for 4 or 5 years, and want to keep the club "crawlin". I have beenimpressed with the club, what it stands for, and its outreach efforts.

No hard feeling towards anyone else, I think the club has voice and whoever is elected will do their best to continue the clubs forward progress.

jeepmanjeff · 09-14-2007, 09:18 AM

I am still very interested in the club and still will do the best job I can if elected again. Just saying that this position should not be "locked"into myself. Every paid member should have the opportunity to run for any position. This is a democracy!

I appreciate all the kind words from you all!
