It would be kind of cool to meet up at an ice cream shop, or Hooters for a car night. Make a whole row of Ford iron (old and new), that would make a statement.

The HOG chapter that I am a member in takes 1 day a month and has a ride, usually end up at a resturant or ice cream shop. It usually brings in a bunch of people looking over the bikes. We can do the same thing with trucks, I know there are at least 5 places around Lansing that have car nights.

Is the an FTE flag, maybe we need a Michigan chapter FTE flag. I would fly one at shows, dunes (bbender), the campground.

All we need to do here is take our blinders off, there are alot of options for us to make ourselves known. We could even get more people interested in the website too, which can bring in more people into the Michigan Chapter .

what about window stickers. flags are good for when you are sitting
still at a meet or show. I want one. but stickers are best for every day.

I for one, like the sticker idea. Something like Michigan Chapter of FTE. Maybe something a little more creative than that.

hooters is hot. great place for site seeing. also there is alot of car &
truck shows all over MI., I go to about 20 every summer. got 28 trophies
over the last 3 seasons. thats just in southwest lower MI.. I am sure there is
alot more around the state. we could try to make some as a group. I do not
see alot of Ford trucks at most of the shows. lots of chevy. would be nice to
show chevy people what a real truck looks like.
