Now, because we've been acquiring sponsors and they have been donating prizes for the 3 car groups involved, we don't want to invite FAMILIES of other car groups, because potentially that would limit space for the car groups specifically involved in the meet. As a direct result, some Lexus', BMWs and MBs may miss out on participating in the raffle that was designed and planned specifically for them. I certainly don't see any harm in you showing up at all as a single car unit. It will be nice having a G35 in the mix! But we are definitly discouraging groups or families of "other" car brands from coming, ONLY because of the combination of space limitations and fair prize distribution to the car groups invited.

Finally, raffle tickets will be $1 per ticket and there is a 5 ticket limit per person. This will be discussed more in another post. But just a heads up!!

Not to be a nuisance, but this doesn't seem the fairest way to do this. Here's my thoughts...
A) The prizes are all donated and since there is no expense associated with the meet, why should tickets be sold??
B) Letting each person have up to 5 tickets means there is a possibility of someone winning more than one prize.
C) Selling them opens up the possibility of someone not a "club member" taking home a prize.
I would like to suggest that each "member" (driver of a car in one of the clubs) be given a ticket when they arrive. They should be present when the numbers are drawn. Draw numbers until all the prizes are given out. This insures equitable distribution of prizes, and takes away any question of what happens to the money collected.
Just my $0.02 ...

Selling/Swapping?
Just wanted to check in with the organizers to make sure it's OK to sell/swap parts at this meet? If so, I'd like to post some of the parts I have to offer and list some parts I'm looking for. Guess it should be in a new thread??

A) Yes, the prizes are donated, but the Roosevelt Park permit that we acquired was not. The money gotten from the raffle ticket sales will be used to pay for that. We're hoping that we can raise enough to cover the cost that came directly out of our pockets. The WE I speak about here are the coordinators of this event: Tommy (Tommy), Doug (lexusk8), Derrick (DGOT20s) and Ron (That would be me A.K.A MSBoy / RRRize @ E46Fanatics).
B) It's true that there is a possibilty that 1 person may win more than one prize, but the probability of that happening is not likely. The 4 of us discussed this at some length and we determined that it would make things more interesting if we allowed people to increase their chances of winning a prize by allowing a 5 ticket limit. (By doing this, we also increase our chances of covering the cost of the permit that we acquired from the Parks Department.)
C) The fact of the matter is, this meet was designed for, but not limited to clublexus, e46fanatics or MBWorld members. We are certain that the greater majority of the people who attend will be forum members. The others will be people invited by forum members and those who got wind by scanning the forums. Ultimately, there is no way of controlling who comes to the meet or any way for us to ensure that we are addressing a forum member when face to face with people. Sure we could ask, but again, this meet was designed to not be limited to forum members only. But stay tuned for the raffle post promised. We did anticipate this issue and addressed it to the very best of our ability in the way in which we plan to conduct the raffle. I think you will find it satisfactory.
Regarding your closing suggestions, those are excellent thoughts and we have considered them and you will see them reflected in the raffle post that's up and coming.
Thanx!
Ron

First off, I think you should read the entire thread before you post, because I have already quoted you and said that THIS--IS--NOT--A--CAR--SHOW. This is a meet for owners to get together, share info, give product testimonials, etc etc. There will be no DJ, no charge, no trophy's, etc etc etc.
I am not sure if you are familliar with the way that meets work (your comments indicate you are not), but in most cases, owners just pick a parking lot, show up and hope for the best. The organizers of this meet assesed the amount of cars we had signed up, and knew that a more secure plan had to made. The parks department was contacted, the process was layed out, and a permit was procured.
Now you tell me, would it be better to show up with 140+ cars with NO PERMIT, or show up with 140+ cars with a 100 CAR PERMIT?? Seems like a very simple equation to me. It has already been noted 2-3 times that if we are on our best behavior, we should have no problem with the extra cars.
Also, since you are new to this forum, why not hang out, READ THINGS, and get to know people before you start making certain comments? As a coordinator of this meet, I think your "swipes" are a little harsh (ie, STUPID!!!!!). Not to mention the fact that we are doing this for fun, the coordinators are not receiving a CL voucher for putting this meet together so go easy with the demands. (ie SOMEONE GET BACK TO ME WITH MY QUESTIONS)
I hope you dont take offense to my reply, but this is the second post of this nature that you have made and I thought it needed to be addressed as I dont want others to come on this post and potentially be scared away by your incorrect and unfounded comments.
If you need me to explain it any further, just click the little button below my reply that says "PM", you can send me a private message and I will lay it out for you.

D,
You put that so well and in a calm manner. I know personal attacks are not allowed on CL but I'm sorry if nobody is gonna say somethin .....
I guess its that NYC comin out in me but.....DOG!!! (MEARALMAGE) IF YOU ARE GONNA GET IN THE KOOL-AID .....KNOW THE FLAVOR...You played yourself yellin about a "car show" and how you "done it B4" and callin basically all the coordinators "Stupid".....when
1. Its not a car show ...and he said it about 2 times ....this time in bold
2. If you read the posts you would know whats up and wouldnt have typed that whole crap
3. Most of us already know eachother from prior meets and know the set up and routine ....THEN you, a BIG NEW JACK with your "10 posts" come stomping in a thread makin about as much sense as TV's in the headrests on a Hyundai Accent
GET FOCUSED MAN!
Sorry fellas, I know person attacks arent cool with the Mods....but I'm done, I cant see all the positivity of this meet ****** on by someone who been to zer0 CL meets,......I wont say anything else and just let ignorance be from this point on.....but I had to on that one!
FOR ALL THOSE THAT DONT KNOW.....THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A MEET
