What states will the proposed Midwest Chapter cover?

How in the heck can y'all all omit Indiana ... One way to find out if border states (those on the edge of a "core" geographical area) should be excluded is to see how many participants we get. If there are but very few, we could allow those individuals to participate since they sre interested in helping us get this going, but exclude their state. Maybe their involvement in the Midwest Chapter could help spawn a new Chapter in another area.

Just a thought ...

PS: I think Rev Den's original suggestion works well.
 
Wisconsin politely drops it's pants... :moon:
You can keep the Badlands, even though its only 3 hours and change for me.
If'n I see any of yous guys in Northern WI, I will be toting a shotgun full of rock salt.
Keep yer stinking washing machines and your god-forsaken landfill.
Hasta.

Hey I'd trade where I live for Northern WIS anyday! Now if I could the little lady to follow me up there..HAHA.

rock salt.... it only stings for a minute...HAHA
 
I second OHIO- But I live close enough to Michigan that I could join you all up there if I was welcomed.

I personally think that the original chapter is too big- I would like to see it broken up into maybe areas of three states like Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana for example.

I do not think my Jeep could make it to MN or WI if we ever had a meeting or event there!!! Could someone tow me :spin1:
 
For what it's worth the Midwest 4 Wheel Drive Association is made up of clubs from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, N. Dakota, S. Dakota and Wisconsin.

I might be interested in a Midwest Chapter, I'm from MN.

I vote for Missouri also. That's the first state to get TWO {:peace:} votes.

I think anyone EAST of the mighty Miss should go back to England anyway.

Now this is one of the reasons why we failed to orgainize a chapter a couple of years ago. We're thinking to big. Here's my thoughts

Great Lakes Chapter:
IL, IN, KY, MI, OH & WI. (WV if they aren't included in one of the eastcoast chapters)

Heartland Chapter:
AR, KS, MO, OK

Midwest Chapter:
IA, MN, NB & the Dakotas

Thats just my opinion, I think a chapter that stretches 1000 or so miles is a bit too big
 
I second Scott Mac's opinion on this. Middle America is too huge for one Chapter to encompass. SEC and NAC both have a (too?) huge area though. We share VA, but there are enough Members there for their own Ch. if they want one.

Get together, (here & in person if possible) see how many of you are into it, and what states you're from. Take it from there. :)
 
I agree with Scott also. I also think if we can get a Great Lakes Chapter going, it will make it easier for the others to get going as well, since they then would not be dealing with the "huge area" problem. I imagine there are members in those areas who have not chimed in because they feel they're too far away from the core states that we are talking about.

Does anybody disagree?

Finally someone has made sense about a "mid-American" chapter. Count me in on a Great Lakes chapter. A midwest chapter would be to large and long of a drive for me. Since I can almost pee in to Lake Erie from my house and get to Detroit in 3 hours I will fall into the "Lakes" chapter.

I still like the Midwest chapter.... but the Lakes chapter seems more reasonable for the purpose we are trying to accomplish.
 
OK by me .... How do the folks in Kentucky feel about it? They could almost fall into the "Heartland Chapter" as far as proximity.

Are these others really proposed Chapters or are they just geographical areas that have been given names by this group? Does this name change affect what we are trying to do on this particular forum? After all, this is the "Midwest Chapter Formation" forum ...

I included Kentucky only becuse they fit on the map geographicly. They could almost fit into any chapter in the east being as centerly located as they are.

All we have to do is ask the FF to change the name of the Forum. Where not stuck with the name.
 
Well then as far as I am concerned we have an area to begin with ...

Les
 
The name is arbitrary at the point. Look at the Utah chapter, it is now the Intermountain chapter. To do this right we need to decide on an area and go with that. KY could have just as easily been included in the South east chapter but it was excluded. Lets not get the area so big that is inpractical. BTW, I am not saying we exclude KY, I am just using it as an example.
