If you know of anyone who has any interest, or a business that would do something like this, please contact me directly. I appreciate any suggestions and ideas. Thank you in advance.

I mean no offense to the current website maintainer, but as a web programmer by profession i feel that we can do much better. The newsletter could even be managed and pulled directly from the site. Several projects I've had in the past had newsletter views of the website that were used to actually generate their newsletters. This reduced the need to replicate data in two locations and simplified the process. I don't know if the website maintainer position is open but i'd love to throw my hat in the ring.

Newsletter Editor: (1) edits monthly newsletter, posts each on website and mails to members who requested copies by US Post using labels generated by the Membership Director (see below); (2) recruits, duns and keeps happy newsletter advertisers; (3) constructs and mails out annual photo calendar (assuming we want to continue this recent tradition). Webmaster and Membership Director (posts have been combined under new appointee, Drew Frink): (1) maintains website, including Lucas calendar, newsletter issues, and For Sale/Wanted section; (2) responds to requests to join by new members; (3) maintains membership database and email list; (4) generates labels for newsletter mailing each month. Chancellor of the Exchequer (filled by Marty Van Nood): (1) make deposits and withdrawals on the club bank account; (2) make annual financial reports to club members; (3) represents club as a non-profit organization to the Internal Revenue Service and State of Utah. Quartermaster: procures, stores, cares for, and disseminates (e.g. by sales) of club regalia and property. Did I forget anything?

Of course Jeff and Floyd did great work, as well. Floyd was handling the newsletter during my tenure and I interacted with him frequently. My comment about you rescuing the newsletter was based on the fact that had you not taken on the newsletter, it could have resulted in a situation not unlike today. Indeed you carried on and improved upon the original vision and traditions of the newsletter. I hold all present and past board members in the highest regard. Sure it's work and we're all busy, but I am sure all will agree the rewards have always more than compensated for the investment in time. My objective is to pique the interest of some of our talented members in hopes they will step up to the tasks.

I was not sure why we do not have a set term of service for the Governor General and then have a Lt. Governor General that learns the job for their upcoming term. We would then have a span of time to find the next Lt. Governor and not be facing the lag in leadership. Maybe the club membership would be a lot more willing to step up if they knew the job and just followed a pattern of succession like any other leadership structure. Just a thought for the future, does not really fix the current problem but could correct the future. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Lindstrom" To: "Rondo Rawlings" Cc: ; Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [Bmcu] [BMCU] Club Officers > OK, here's my shot at it: > > Governor General: (1) schedules events and ensures each has a leader, a > report is written, and photos published; (2) fulfills legal obligations > for the club, such as procuring event and director/officer insurance, and > maintaining our relations as a chapter/zone of VTR and NAMGBR; (3) handles > misc. requests of the club, such as appearances at charity car shows, > etc.; (4) nominates and oversees members of the Board of Governors. > > Newsletter Editor: (1) edits monthly newsletter, posts each on website > and mails to members who requested copies by US Post using labels > generated by the Membership Director (see below); (2) recruits, duns and > keeps happy newsletter advertisers; (3) constructs and mails out annual > photo calendar (assuming we want to continue this recent tradition). > > Webmaster and Membership Director (posts have been combined under new > appointee, Drew Frink): (1) maintains website, including Lucas calendar, > newsletter issues, and For Sale/Wanted section; (2) responds to requests > to join by new members; (3) maintains membership database and email list; > (4) generates labels for newsletter mailing each month. > > Chancellor of the Exchequer (filled by Marty Van Nood): (1) make deposits > and withdrawals on the club bank account; (2) make annual financial > reports to club members; (3) represents club as a non-profit organization > to the Internal Revenue Service and State of Utah. > > Quartermaster: procures, stores, cares for, and disseminates (e.g. by > sales) of club regalia and property. > > Did I forget anything?

In the past Mike Bailey and I have put together a swap meet down at his shop. We were discussing this, and think it might be better to have an area set aside at Field Day for such a purpose. I think having it there would be of more benefit to both buyers and sellers. On another note, I'm thinking about whether or not a grouchy old procrastinating scatterbrain such as myself would be of any benefit to the club in one of the open positions. Need more thought. mjb.

If it sounds okay, would you send it out to everyone. St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and the buffalo ended up on Antelope Island. The spring run to A.I. has been an annual event for the BMCU for years. This year, since groups of vehicles are no longer welcome at the St Paddy?s Day Parade, we?ll take advantage of the great weather that is predicted for this Saturday and have a run to Antelope Island. A brunch/short drive event had been discussed/planned but the predicted great weather and no other available time for AI led to the conclusion that this Saturday should be a drive. The folks from the south should meet at the east side of the State Capital at 9:30 am for a 10 am departure. The route used in the past has been popular. From the capital head up Beck Street and take Highway 89 through Bountiful and up into Farmington. Then take Highway 107 or Main St. north past Lagoon up to Kaysville staying on Main St. Continue up to Layton and turn west onto Antelope Drive by the Kmart. The rendezvous for the northern BMCU?ers is the first small strip mall west of Main on the north side of the Antelope Drive. The northerners should meet at 10:30 for an expected departure of about 11 am. The club will then head west on Antelope Drive out to the entrance gate (admission charge) at the causeway. The destination is the ranch at the south end of the paved road on the east side of the island. Great spot to enjoy the lunch you remembered to pack and do some more first-run of 2009 socializing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If it sounds okay, would you send it out to everyone. St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and the buffalo ended up on Antelope Island. The spring run to A.I. has been an annual event for the BMCU for years. This year, since groups of vehicles are no longer welcome at the St Paddy?s Day Parade, we?ll take advantage of the great weather that is predicted for this Saturday and have a run to Antelope Island. A brunch/short drive event had been discussed/planned but the predicted great weather and no other available time for AI led to the conclusion that this Saturday should be a drive. The folks from the south should meet at the east side of the State Capital at 9:30 am for a 10 am departure. The route used in the past has been popular. From the capital head up Beck Street and take Highway 89 through Bountiful and up into Farmington. Then take Highway 107 or Main St. north past Lagoon up to Kaysville staying on Main St. Continue up to Layton and turn west onto Antelope Drive by the Kmart. The rendezvous for the northern BMCU?ers is the first small strip mall west of Main on the north side of the Antelope Drive. The northerners should meet at 10:30 for an expected departure of about 11 am. The club will then head west on Antelope Drive out to the entrance gate (admission charge) at the causeway. The destination is the ranch at the south end of the paved road on the east side of the island. Great spot to enjoy the lunch you remembered to pack and do some more first-run of 2009 socializing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think it will be difficult to find an MG Midget in the $2000 range or a more reasonable $500 range for that matter as the average sized range is only about 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. I guess you could get one in if it was compacted in a car crusher to that size but then would you really want to buy it?

Turn the key-fuel pump clicks- car starts right up- turn it off and look for leaks-none. Car sits for 30 mins- fire it up again, no problem. I let it run for 5-10 mins then shut it down. Thirty mins pass. I think I'll take the car for a test drive. Jump in and turn the key ALL THE WAY(NO PAUSE FOR FUEL PUMP!!) Car doesn't start. THEN I remember I need to puase, this is not my truck! Turn key NO pump noise. Checked that it is recieving amps and it is but on noise no start. HELP!
