Just thought I would chime in. Up in the Northern California Chapter, we've been struggling with the same thing. We've gone through our growing pains, trying to get the chapter started, and are finally gaining some ground. (come on by Norcal Chapter if you wish, we'll welcome anyone with good a heart to join in for the fun)
We also went through a down period, where it seemed almost futile, to get an active chapter rolling along. Now, things seem to be going along well.
Hang in there guys/gals. It will all be worth it, once you make it through the growing pains.
We all have a common interest. Ford Trucks. I don't know about you all, but I really enjoy participating with folks with the same interest in trucks as I do. It's an American facination, trucks that is, and I am partial to Fords. So participation in a club like this has been very rewarding for me.
Hang in there guys, it will come around. But it will take all of you to join in to make things come together. Well worth it I might add.

73F350SC, your chapter leader, is a good guy. He is willing to do what he can to have a successfull chapter, but he needs your help too.

I am originally from Southern Cal, and I come down there from time to time. I hope to stop in and visit with you guys on a chapter meet, if you'll have me. You're always welcome at our chapter meets, when they start taking off. We're still in construction, but getting there ourselves.
Good Luck, Tim
