Hey guys. I got an interesting request via PM the other day and thought I would share this idea. There is a member in Colorado who would like to start a DTR chapter. Basically, a local group that is a DTR membergroup with their own charter, rules etc. I'm sure most of you know that the TDR has these, but I have never done it, or even thought about it. <br><br>What do you guys think, should we start doing this? You think there would be enough intrest to do something like this? Let me know what you think.<br><br>Jack

Jack .<br><br>Yea ... why not??<br><br>Keith

Sounds interesting,,,,, ::)<br> I think we have enough folks in our area (VA, NC, WV, etc.) that might consider it. <br>

Anyone ever done anything like this? Manage sub-chapters I mean. I would like to consider it, but I guess that we would have to write a main set of rules and guidelines that the sub-chapters would follow, etc. It sounds fun, but I don't think it's as simple as saying &quot;There are subchapters&quot;. Opinions?

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe I can talk Wes (1Big44) into helping organize an Oklahoma club.

ya great idea, BriarHopper and I had talked about this a couple of months ago after his gettogether at his shop. <br>

Jack:<br><br>Sounds great to me. Let me know if I can help you<br>with this!<br><br>-------<br>John_P

I will also help in anyway I can to see this happen. <br>GREAT IDEA

I'd like to do a North Eastern DTR chapter! already met a couple people from here...<br><br>tom, dan, etc.?

Sounds like a GREAT idea. Let me know if there is anything I can do to maybe get a Midwest chapter going!

What do we need to do to get this thing going?<br><br>I am looking forward to getting a local chapter in my area.

I would definately like to do this, but I'll be honest. I have NO time. I would need someone to run this and lay out the law of the land so to speak. I am really sorry guys, but we CAN do it if someone wants to manage it. The only way I would do it is if this person was very dedicated to making it happen, and making it happen right. <br><br>Jack

I will be glad to take that role inless some other member wants to, but if no one spreak up then I will ;D ;D

although i'm not excellent at web design, i would be dedicated to doing it.

Hi guys. It really won't have anything to do with web design at all. Basically, this person would have to keep track of all the chapters, make sure they follow the rules, keep track of members, etc etc. I don't see anything like web design going on there. Does that still spark your intrest? It's more like a clerical role, I think.<br><br>Jack

DavidTD brought up an excellent suggestion for this. I think it would be a great idea to schedule a chat session for those who are interested in doing this, or participating in some way. This is going to be one of the larger projects our site is tackled, so we I seriously think the chat session is a an EXCELLENT idea. Thanks for the suggestion David!

Thanks for the idea David

I think Cattle hauler would be a great person to speerhead this idea if he still wants to, and I would be more than willing to assist him in any way I can. I'll be the helpy-helper.. ;)

A prairie canuck DTR chapter...first rule...<br><br>Leave the blue sheep outside.<br><br><br>PCDTRC [eyecrazy]

I would be willing to do whatever it takes to get this done. I think this site has grown to a size that this would really benefit us. Let me know when the chat session is and if there is anything we should do/research to be prepared. I am SOOOO looking forward to this!!! ;D

I think a project of this nature would probably take more than one person. I'm thinking of having the chat session tomorrow night at 8pm Eastern. Let me know what you guys think.<br><br>Jack

Jack, I am gonna post a message in Other Forum about this, A chat time of 8pm Eastern Time sounds good. That will work out perfect, will have lots of folks in chat already at that time. Should we have all the folks log into the Dodge-Diesel room or the Lobby???

dodge-diesel is fine

:( I'll be out of town and maybe laid up for a day or two...count me in for north of the 49th.<br><br>DavidTD knows me and knows I am into it. ;D

I put a post up on the main page.

just registered for the chat this evening, I will be there

Count me in. I'll be at the chat.<br><br>I think its a great idea. I'd love to see a chapter in this area.. I'd even consider running such a chapter.<br> :D<br>I'll be there in the chat!<br><br><br>Rich

I would love to run the Kentucky Hillbillie chapter [laugh] [laugh]

Sorry I missed getting online last night. How did it go?<br><br>I have been so busy with my 3 jobs it is about to kill me. :o<br><br>Yeah Jack, Good ole Scotty would be a fine candidate for a &quot;foreign&quot; chapter. ;) ;D ;D<br><br>

I can see it now...George Foreman Grills sizzlin' some food, shot glasses of #2, Penguins fanning all the members with giant fig leaves. uhhhh....maybe not. [laugh]<br>Push/Pull Rod, wearing velcro gloves.

Sorry, I missed the Chat session too. Still interested though.

Talked to Scotty last night, I would be interested in helping out. Our Alberta Bombers should be up to the task...<br><br>J-eh
