OK! So first the group will need to decide a few things about the venue and what (if anything!) is to be accomplished.<br /><br />By "accomplished", I don't mean business wise, but rather activity wise.<br /><br />For instance: Is it going to be a meet and eat, or just a meet and greet?<br /><br />If it's going to involve the possibility of food / beverage, then:<br />At a restaurant, or, <br />At a member's house for a barbecue / beer, etc.<br /><br />You'll also have to figure out how many people you're going to accommodate (members / significant others, etc.)<br /><br />There is also the possibility of making it a publicity / recruitment event with just a little imagination!<br /><br />Pick an establishment with good highway visibility and tailgate it with signage "RI Ford Truckers ...." and you're bound to get a number inquiries by the curious.<br /><br />There's even the possibility of partnering with a dealership or piggybacking on some dealer promotional event. Dealers might appreciate the demonstration of brand loyalty for the benefit of others on the lot considering switching brands.<br /><br />These are just ideas guys. These meetings can be as much or as little as you want them to be, and that goal can change over time!
