Lexatlast,,, props to you for trying to jumpstart NJ again. I know it was attempted before,, but always good to see some life up there. Couple of suggestions to help yall grow some more as we did down here in MD.
1. Know this,,,EXCLUESIVE IS ALWAYS HUNGRY!!!! LOL!!!! (sorry Chris,, you left it wide open)
2. You will probably have better luck, and a better turnout by doing stuff on the weekend. Saturdays work for most people, however have noticed that most of the guys up there favor sundays. You guys have quite a few NJ members up there so I would not discount those who are out of school and have to get up for work the next day. For some reason, NELOC get togethers always run long (enjoyable though) and the time always flies way too fast. Weeknight event may discourage some from coming out as they have to get up to work the next morning. This will also entice other members from NY, Pa and dare I say it,,,MD to make the drive to come out. Yes, for the record,, MD WILL be making several appearances in the NORTH in 08. TRUKN1 GUARANTEED!!!!This is an area that we have fallen well short of, and def need to repay.
3. Impromptu get togethers are always a great idea as well. This has helped us to not only grow as a club, but also, we know the individuals behind the cars as well.
4. Give plenty of notice for what may be planned as "large events", and even small ones for max. attendance and interest. Throwing up a suggestion a couple of days beforehand (unless impromptu) is guaranteed to net low atendance.
5. Most importantly,, have fun and just do whatever. Doesnt even have to be car related. We have had BBQ's, bowling night, happy hour, etc. So have fun.
Just a few suggestions. First establish that family feel and comfortable environment. Then members will come from there. Good Luck!!

This answers a lot of the questions I had because I've never tried to organize something like this before so I was kinda winging it lol. Good info!
