Not all of us are retirees here in Fl. There were all age groups represented at this meet. The key to putting together an event like this is good planning and finding out what members are intersted in doing. I only have Sundays free so Bill keeps that in mind when planning events. I drive to Tampa from Orlando just to hang out with everyone. Over the last year we have become really good friends with the group so it's worth the road trip. Some people think car clubs mean everyone hanging out talking about mods and alot of people aren't into that so they stay away. Try to find things to do that interest a wide range of people and your turn outs will get bigger. Even though we love them you can only stand in a parking lot looking at your cars for so long before it becomes boring. Nothing is better then watching peoples jaws drop at the sight of all those smarts lined up, or the cop who gave you a hard time for being in the road trying to get pictures only to see him pull over to take his own pictures with his cell phone. Good luck I hope to see pictures as your meets grow.
