Are the meetings formal, with call to order, reading the notes, old business, new business, recognition, etc?
The voting seems to be informal. Are motions also informal, or do you require a second?
-
It's pretty informal. Sometimes too informal when groups start their own conversations while the meeting is going on.
-
Yeah, that is very frustrating--especially as time runs over and you have urgent business.
-
Voting requires a motion and a second. Only dues paying members may vote but during discussion, all present may participate. They may even make proposals that the club might vote on. Board of Directors meetings allow everyone to be present, but only Board members participate in the meeting discussions and voting. Board actions usually pertain to approval or rejection of requests by the club officers to spend money above and beyond the allowed limit. Things such as sending flowers to a sick or deceased person, parts for project cars, entry fees for events, etc.

How Many Project Cars Does The Club Have Right Now ?
-
How many people do you usually get at the meetings?
-
Usually everybody that shows up is there.
-
Usually everybody that shows up is there.
That answer would work, had I asked ”Who is there for meetings?” Since I specified a quantifier (many), not so much.
-
Speaking of meetings, I wont be able to make it tomorrow.
-
Kind of like when people call my work...
"You working today?"
"Well... at least I'm here."
-
I usually tell them I checked my work orders for the day and 'give a damn' was not one of them.
-
There were 6 people at the meeting today -- 7 if you count Scott, who joined by phone. We decided to sell the club car (88 4-cylindar Fiero). There will probably be more about that later, from Fierofool, who currently possesses the car.
-
Thanks for the info. I commend the people who make these meetings--especially the regulars, and those who have been doing this all these years. Food for thought for the next 20 years.
As far as the car, it seemed to be mostly unused. It was a good idea, but underutilized. Of course, it was probably used more than was evident from the posts here.
-
Do you guys really have 3 meetups on Saturdays, during the warm months, or was that last year only?

Linda, I get the impression that you're very practical.
-
Regular business meetings were always on the 2nd Saturday. We were doing the cruise ins on the 3rd or 4th Saturday, I forget which. There were a couple of months that we did a work day at OldOne's and a scouting run, so there might have been 3 activities those months, but generally, there were only 2 things per month.
-
I was referring to this:
1st Saturday (warm months)
Atlanta, GA Galaxy Diner, 3320 Henderson Mill Rd, 4 - 7 PM
Marietta, GA Panera Bread Co, Ave East, Roswell Rd, (8 – 11 A.M.) Frank (770) 565-2281
Austell, GA Sonny's BBQ, 1804 E.W. Connector S.W. 5pm-8pm.
-
We've never been to Panera or Sonny's. The only places other than The Diner are Sonic and Dairyqueen. Once there was a BBQ run down toward Augusta, but that's all.
-
Ah. I was wondering how many people you could get at 3 events on the same day.
It shows those here (http://gafiero.org/events.shtml)
-
That's a listing of other events that car people might be interested in. Our email is subscribed to several feeds. Southeast Wheels sends us notices of car shows, cruise ins, poker runs, and all sorts of car things from around the southeast,. Some of the more local ones were posted in that section. We also get things from SCCA and Road Atlanta.
It's not being updated any more.

Some Of Our Members Still Work, And Could Not Be At 3
Meetings A Month.
That Being Said, 3 Meetings A Month Would Possibly Take A Toll On Club Membership.
-
It read like 3 on the same day. I was wondering how that went over. Seemed like a lot.
Job or no, there are lots of demands for time.

Together We Stand,
Divided We Fall.
-
It's not on the calendar, but presumably there is a meeting next Saturday. Will it be another tech day, or just discussing stuff?
-

Regular monthly meetings is posted on the home page. Any changes, we usually put them on the message board, sometimes in the calendar and sometimes in events.
