attention to all Texas Chapter Members
 

Some of Yall know me and alot of Yall dont.

Ive been around here off and on for a few years. Almost 5 come to think about it. I also seem to rember the "glory" days of our great chapter.

I have come to realize that some how the Texas Chapter has become divided into "clicks" this is unfair to us all as a chapter in whole

I would greatly appreciate EVERY ACTIVE TEXAS CHAPTER MEMBER involvement in gtgs and meet and greets.

In your respective areas (Houst,Dallas,San Antonio, ect.) Should participate in their own meet and greets and get to gethers atleast one every 3-4 months if not more regularly.

EVERY ACTIVE TEXAS CHAPTER MEMBER NEEDS TO BE ACTIVE WITHIN THIS CHAPTER. A group of 5 or 6 guys cant keep this chapter running. EVERYONE'S INPUT IS NECESSARY.

I am here as the new Texas Chapter Leader to get "our" chapter back on track so please help me fellas.

Also if any member has concerns or suggestions to better our chapter let us all know on this thread so we can make the Texas chapter great again

Amen boss. I'm sure all of us would pull together, chief!

I hope so Dom. Do you have anymore input on what you would like to see happen?

Chief, I agree with the get-togethers. Hang outs and stuff. Heck I wouldn't mind hosting a BBQ or cookout at my place too. Or we could go out to a local brewery or the beach and have a tailgate party.

And while we have our informal hangouts, we can also celebrate birthdays and anniversaries tats been covered in those months. Stuff like tat

35 views and no input? Really, do Yall not care as much as Dom and I? The reason I volunteered for Texas chapter leader is because I care about FTE and the Texas chapter along with its members.

Im with those ideas 100 percent Dom.

Sure thing chief. I hope everybody can chip in on ideas too.

So far it aint lookin good

Robert,

I would not take non-response as not caring. I think everyone who spends time on this forum likes the forum, likes the chapter, and even likes Snuggy.

I think there is more going on here is a grand socioeconomic, the world is going to seed, do I have to worry about looters, kind of way. I am seeing it everywhere, not just here. While I do not think it is the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, I see it as troubling times in the kingdom.

People are worried. They don't post as much.

Going to the get togethers is great, but most of them have been done several hours drive away from me. I always put them on my calendar, but life keeps getting in the way (that and the high cost of diesel fuel). Face it, I am not going to drive for four hours to Houston just to meet folks for lunch.

Perhaps a good plan would be to plan a regional event, every quarter or so, and repeat them so they become regular events. Like the south Texas Work Days that TWG sponsors have become regular events. (I just wish they would pick a weekend I was free to do these. Hint hint!)

The Houston guys seem to do good at getting together (I blame Snuggy!) so let them run. The Dallas area has a fair number of folks, many reaching out to each other. Get something going up there in early summer. The San Antonio area also has quite a few members. Plan a Fall event for them. Start with the high population areas.

If you planned an event in my area, you would only have a population of 5 or 6 members to invite. Which translates into one person probably showing up. But, just thinking about it now, maybe a lunch event would work in my area. Worst case, I'll go out and have lunch by myself.....

I'll think about this a little more and see if I can come up with a few more ideas.

Keep the faith. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

Timothy

Any groups in Fortworth ?

Thanks Tim. I feel like the red-headed stepchild that everybody now loves. Yay! I feel loved.... And blamed?? Wat I do now? U plead the fifth on tat which I do not know. It wasn't me officer; it was the one-armed man.

Robert,

Look at this ^^^^ There are folks in DFW who want to get together!

Go man go! Make it happen. Make it the template for Chapters everywhere!


Timothy

Oh Snuggy, we all like having you around. You make lots of things happen.

(OK. Mostly the things you make happen is our lunches come up, but you mean well.)


Timothy

Thank u tim. For the kind words. Heck, even as I type, I have my clothes on. Truth be told, I'm just lightening the load.
