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.
