well the last week or so we had some action around here but it seems to have died of again,is this how things go in this chapter?anyone have any ideas on how to bring more to it,keep it as active as possible.its too bad it wasn't may so we could get together and have a cruise night or something to bring the members together.would there be any northeaster nova scotia members interested in something like that come spring?

Congrats Fred

You welcome Fred, maybe you can invite some of the other CL's over for a chat party in your B/S Chat thread. BTW you need to set one up, lol

I see the name of this one has changed,thanks for the help glruff.I'm going to start a new thread here about a car show,let me know what you think.

OK will do, just ask, lol

I just posted it george,I think it may be a fairly good idea.alot of people around here are getting tired of how the local car show is being run.

Cool does it need to be a "sticky"

northeaster79 · #9 (**permalink**) 12-15-2008, 02:10 PM

I don't think so,maybe once I get a little more interest and do a little more research on the idea as far as location,legal aspects and amount of local interest.

Do you all have charitable groups that hold car/truck/bike shows in you area?

We have good luck with chapter participation at those type events that benefit charities.

Hey Fred, just tossing something out to you to think about.

Would your chapter be more active if it was say the Nova Scotia chapter?

A good idea is to pm/email some of the former members like I pm`ed you, see who`s still around and interested in this chapter.
While I didn`t get many replies when I sent out pm`s for this chapter`s leader you may find some members lurking but not posting here.
Also try printing up and using spotter`s cards when you spot Ford trucks in your area: http://images.ford-trucks.com/clipar...tters_card.pdf
