The most important thing we need to do is get everyone back in contact in
as many was as we can, and re-establish the club.this takes work (thanks
Vince), organization and time.
It's great to hear we've got a couple hundred responses so far - getting
people to join this list, and the forum are both very useful, as they
provide fairly direct contact. It looks like the old-fashioned paper method
is leading for now, as we have about 50 subscribers on this list.
It's a shame we didn't have continuity in place to preserve the club list
and records, but should be able to rebuild much of it from listings that
are a couple years old.
We'll still need club officers (that's as in multiple people to help),
including membership manager and newsletter editors. Sounds like "parts
manager" is another role.
Perhaps Vince can update us on his status a bit - I
