FSTJACK said:There was a meeting in Houston in June that was attended by;
Myself (FSTJACK)
Steve Holden (Texas Yellow Fever)
Ken Liebich (NBT)
Adam Walker
Ken Waits (GA Ken)
Dave Breiner (Roktman)
Jamie (Rolex Dr.)
Kevin (BDIA)
I very much wanted to see a national club formed. I was asked to sit on the board.
I declined as it could have been a potential conflict of interest with my ownership position on this Forum. The board also thought that being an owner or moderrator on a forum would be a potential conflict.
There was a board of directors elected;
Steve Holden
Ken Liebich
Adam Walker
Ken Waits
Kevin (President)
Dave Breiner (Vice President)
Jamie (Secretary)
The board set up some things for the three officers (Kevin, Dave, Jamie) to do. They were to;
Compile the minutes of the meeting and send to the board members for approval and or changes.
Get an address for mailing.
File the required paper work with the State of Texas.
There was a time frame for all these things to be done by.
Nothing was done in accordance with the time limits set by the board of directors, that all agreed to. The officers did not comply to any of these things that were to be acomplished.
I have talked to the board members and all stated that the "Officers" did nothing after the Houston meeting. There was little or no communication regarding progress for anything to move this forward. The club died beacuse of nothing being done by the people that were charged with those duties.
I am sorry about how this came down. A lot of us spent money (1500.00 by me) and time to get this going, for the ball to be dropped by a few.
At the Houston meeting I felt that a few were trying to control the club and profit by it.
At this point I feel we don't really need an official club. Dodge has discontinued the Ram SRT-10 and probably has no interest in having a truck club associated with them.
We are such a strong community on this Forum, and do many good works for others, and have fun, do we need anything else?
What did happen in Houston, I was able to meet some very nice people and make some lifelong friends.
All of us that have talked about this are pretty much in agreement that things are just fine the way they are.
Georgia Ken said:Jack, thanks for the post. It is most accurate and well written.
I am a big believer in Open Information. I am going to say some things that Jack cant because of his position.
The three officers as mentioned above, were suppose to perform some simple task of which they didn't. Texas Yellow Fever, NBT and myself all agreed that they, the officers, were not going to follow through. The three of us decided that when the "Club" fails, that it would be for the best. All agreed that this forum was the best avenue for our "Club". For the members and by the members. Everything that a "Club" does happens on this forum. there are many GTG being organzied, occurring, have occurred and will continue to occur.
The meetings were a Joke, to put it kindly. It was obivous there were a secret agenda by two of the three officers, Dave and Kevin. If not, then they attitude projected a hidden agenda, to me. This is my sole opinion here.
It cost me about $1,500.00 for the trip and I lost an additonal $1,000.00 by not being able to work that week. All of this loss was WELL WORTH IT TO ME. I made GREAT FRIENDS in NBT, FASTJACK and Texas Yellow Fever and his wife. Because of this forum, I met and developed other GREAT FRIENDSHIPS. I hope to be able to meet each of you before I pass, no time soon.
I want to personally thank everyone on this thread for being the GREAT P EOPLE that yall are. May Glod Bless us all.

Rolex Dr. said:no worries Georgia Ken (i remember giving you that name)
i take nothing to heart
between you, Fla.Ken, a Texas i have not had that much fun just hanging out and doing nothing
i did do the notes and they were not the best i will admit I had never taken notes before but there was way too much behind the scenes BS on 2 or 3 sides
