Regional Contacts

How has contacting the Regional Contacts for The 928 OC gone? Is this still in the process?

Sorry, really not sure what you are asking.
James does try to keep in touch with them, and lets them know of new members.

I got the spread sheet for what is in our area, maybe even all of Canada, but I haven't spent any time checking it out closely.

I am guessing that it is not complete and that there are more then a few names that need to be added. Hmmm am I on there???:rolleyes:

Stan, I couldn't find the thread, but I thought there was going to be someone (probably James) sending out e-mails to the contacts confirming their status and if they are active or not.

I ask this because I have never heard from my Regional Contact when I joined 928 OC. But, I did hear from a neighboring Contact right away with some planned get-togethers (Kitty and Gary Knox from Eastern PA).

Is it possible for me to get the names of club members in my area even though I'm not a Regional Contact?

Not all regional contacts are as active as others. Since they are volunteers, we appreciate whatever they do.

You could ask James. If you were thinking of having an event, it would make sense, or if you were considering volunteering as a regional contact.

thank you for your interest

Yes, I understand this.

Both. If my RC isn't ever going to plan anything, I will. Then I might as well be the RC right?

Rick,

I am in the process of getting hold of people. We are going to do some house cleaning. I don't mean to step on toes but if you can't AT LEAST email your new members then you really have no business being a Regional Rep and we are going to be changing things up VERY SOON! If you are interested in being your RR then I am ready to listen!

FL is having the same problem. Quite a few new folks and no contact from anyone. That is just unacceptable...and it will change...SOON!

That would be great. I believe the previous RR did quite a bit, but moved to Montana, so the current RR might have more moderate interest. Perhaps you can take the slot, but work together.... ?

I agree with Stan, but was somewhat less diplomatic! LOL! You need to work with ALL the 928OC members and divide things up (or have a RR that is a control freak...kind of like me, but willing to do stuff and be active and rally the troops).

I mean, if you can't at least send an email to a new member to say "hi" well, then you are not really doing ANYTHING AT ALL are you?!

Yes, Ed did quite a lot (so I've heard ) and I missed all that. I would very much like to work with my RC. Or if he has no more interest in it, I would take it over.

My thoughts exactly!

Rick,

STAND BY...you are about to get busy! I want excited and motivated people in the Regional Contact positions! I want folks who don't mind going up to a complete stranger in a 928 and saying, "hey, I am in the 928 Owners Club...how about you?" If they say "no" then you need to be ready to invite them and tell them why they SHOULD be a member and prefer that you hand them one of the .pdf's that you can download from the front page of the 928oc website!

At the VERY LEAST I need them to contact the new members who I send them info about!

James,
I'm willing to do all of the above. But, I don't want to step on toes either, so if my RC wants to hold his position then that's OK. I would work with him also, if he desires.

Understood! But again, if the person is not at least hitting the "reply all" button on the emails that I am sending out then they are REALLY doing NOTHING at all! That is pretty damn easy to do, so if you can't do that then you certainly can't handle the other more difficult aspects of being a 928OC Regional Representative!

Is there a way to see all OC members in a given geographic area, or at least a list or regional reps? I know who the RR in my area is, altho he is not active on this forum. But I'm curious about adjacent regions.

www.928oc.org/regional_information.htm for regional reps.

Duh! Thanks Stan - I'm so used to just clicking thru the login page I'd forgotten it might have some other info outside the forums...

Hi, Stan.
Can you get the list updated to show me as the SoCal ( LA and south) rep, please.
TIA
Neil

Sure, last I knew you wanted to check with Bill to see where to list yourself. If that is what you decided, it is ok with me. Would you reply to the email from 2/1/11, so James is copied as well?

Neil,

Did I not send that list to you already???? Maybe I was waiting for your break down, but I thought I sent you a SoCal list... I'll ping Jim Willman again...

I'll see him tomorrow at 2nd Saturday ASS too...

Not a problem, James - look forward to seeing the list and going to work on the members - see if i can get a SoCal GTG on the calendar.

Cheers
Neil

Right on! Thanks Neil. Will get it to you by the end of the weekend for sure.

James - I'll volunteer to be a Regional Contact for the State of Oklahoma. I've created an email address for just that purpose: soonerstate928 AT cox dot net

Has a nice ring to it, no?

cool, ya I like the sound of it

Jarrod, you are ON!!! Way to STEP UP BRO'! Most appreciated! In the past they have been getting pawned off to Roger to the South or Marc White to the north!

Glad to have a contact there.

STAN? You reading this??? We need to add Jarrod Wise as the Regional Rep for OK!

Jarrod,

I have you listed, please test the link for your email to ensure it works. Thank you very much for helping out

It's working just fine, or as Clarkson would say...

Excellent! Thanks JW!

Any contact yet with my RC, James?

Rick, not a peep...you interested in a new job for Western PA?

We have Ron Carr in Central OH, but I have not heard from him and so I am guessing if I get folks from Eastern OH I'll put them in your Region too Rick.

I'm your man James!

Thanks Rick...Stan, time to update the RR portion of the website again! Sorry to be putting all this work on you bro, but glad to have some folks that are excited to be playing an important part in keeping 928's on the road and 928 fans connected!

Happy help, just give me the details, are of the new RR, name and email address too.

Thank you for volunteering Rick.

Thank you for volunteering Rick.

Happy to do it Stan.

I'll PM you my info.

Rick, shoot Stan and email with first/last name and email address you want to use for you RR contacts and he will get you put in place on the web page.

Thanks for stepping up!

Already done and the site is updated.

James,
Please send me the contacts and I will get an e-mail out to everyone in my region. If you want to combine close region(s) to me, that is OK too.
I will also get an e-mail out to the owners that I know, that aren't 928OC members and try to get them involved too.

Rick,

Jim Willman is my assistant and right hand man and he will get those out to you in the next week or two. Stand by for them, but don't expect them REALLY SOON as we are trying to get the new illuminated switches installed in the '92...taking longer than we thought it would.
