Is there any central theme (besides ford trucks) to the group? Do you guys do any philanthropic events, big GTG's, HAMON's (help a member out month), etc?

Looking forward to it.

what I drive is in my signature, we have had several work days at other members houses. let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can come up with.

In the other groups I have been or still are a part of we tend to move the GTGs around. Not everyone goes to them all. The other thing we do is post polls to let the members decide where they will be. Unfortunantly this often leaves out some but you generally have the largest turn outs this way. Just my $.02.

Heck, we have even had people show up in non ford vehicles. Its more about good folks getting together and having good times.

I would hope so. I don't drive my Nissan trail rig to our Meet and Greets. Last time I was in my F150.

this is a great Idea and we do this for simple meet and greet type gtg, but for big events your kidof stuck to one place. It's good to have another member close by we'll have to hook up sometime. watch that trailor special guy he's trouble "yankee redneck"
