2010 Spring NCFTE get together???????

I know this is probably a lost cause but what the heck. We have had about 15 or 20 guys join this chapter in the past 2 or 3 months and we need to have a GTG or a meet and greet for all the guys to get to know one another. Lets try to come up with a time and place to have a gtg/ truck show or something. Now fellas this is a long narrow state and not everybody can be accomidated with a short drive but if you're serious about a gtg and meeting your fellow FTE members then it won't be that bad. I'll leave it up to the chapter members to throw out some Ideas. The only suggestion that I have is let's try to plan the gtg for early to mid April so we have a better chance at good weather. I know you guys haven't seen me around much here of late and it's due to my job but I am still around. Let's get something together and get this chapter back up and rolling.

I'm game for getting together this spring to talk shop and check out some trucks.

Sanford seems like a centrally located spot. Or we could schedule it with another event of some sort.

Meet and eat at a resturant or bring food and cook out.

Any one have some land they want to offer for a gathering, food and some wheeling?

My main issue is probably similar to others. Schedules are tight. Two kids that take dance, piano, and soccer. I play softball. And my wife has a home business. But with enough time to plan I hope to be able to make it out to meet some folks.

Keep the ideas and dates posted. Hope to see some of yall this spring.

James

I live in Kannapolis just NE of Charlotte. In the pst we have met right around the Lexington area but thats a looong drive for the east coast guys and the hillbillies. I'm fine with whatever we can come up with . If it's a real problem we can go for two seperate gtgs but I'd rather not do this just because it would be better if we all got to meet each other.
