What states will the proposed Midwest Chapter cover?

[MC-92]

I'm in southern AR.... Actually 3 city blocks from Texas....I know for a fact that there are quite a few XJ's that frequent Barnwell Mtn. in Gilmer, TX...I believe that they are mostly from the Dallas Area... Are we too "redneck" to be included ???...

Hey Bones... We are planning a trip to Hot Springs in April... I "may" be ready to go by then... If not I'll be spottin' in a '75 Bronco...

I'm not entire positive about it, but I do not think Badlands ORP was intended as any kind of strict point of reference, although several people who have regularly gotten together at Badlands have started this thread to try and form a Chapter.

The "Show of Hands" thread is intended to see where most of the "Chapter Membership" interest is.

so Whats the outcome?

Are we still waiting for people to "show hands" or was a decision reached, that I missed? :huh:

 

[LBEXJ]

I really don't think so .... the thread has just kinda settled down for the time being. There really hasn't been too many "hands raised" lately either. Maybe everyone who is interested, or at least thinking about it, has done so.

Beezil is the "temporary" secretary for this thread and is supposedly tracking the results. Several have made attempts to post results ... but it brought on some controversy over the results. :twak:

I will add up the final count tonight.

 

[Beezil]

sean has hereby taken over as secretary....

it wouold probably be good if someone got involved who actually wants a chapter....

count it up sean.

 

[LBEXJ]

Thanks seanR ...

Sounds like your no longer "undecided" Beezil ... sorry to hear about that.

Newbie in MO for a "Heartland" Chapter

I just stumbled across this thread since I've been a paying member for less than a month I'm in for a chapter as I'd like to get involved with the local Jeep community. Being in STL I'm fairly central for getting to most places.

The only face I've met is Lawn'Chero (Mark Seidman) and would like to meet more.

All my stuff is stock, but I've got tools and an MJ

I was never "undecided"....

I've been a "no" vote ever since the idea of "chapters" was discussed even beofre we officially incorporated naxja....

I never thought they would be successful, I figured it would be a major distraction in the goings-on of the mother org......

Obviously, I was wrong, NAC proved it first.

I am still totally disinterested, but if you guys can pull it off, that would be cool.

and I'm not interested in preventing a chapter from happening....it'll be interesting to see what happens.

 

[LBEXJ]

I guess I should pay attention more ... "respectfully decline" is not interested. I appreciate your help, and I'm sure everyone else does too.

stock is OK, if any of this gets going, we'd need someone to buy the beer. Usually, the stock MJ guys do that...

 

[MaXJohnson]

That's my opinion as well, but we wouldn't be able to call it the Midwest Chapter if we exclude any of those states? :lecture:

we need a sarcasm smiley

You IL, IN & MI guys can call it the "Great Licks" chapter.

how bout dat...

 

[Scott Mac]

You IL, IN & MI guys can call it the "Great Licks" chapter.

how bout dat...

Oh yea????? You're all just jealous because we have fresh water.

 

[LBEXJ]

Midwest Chapter

Why not divide it into two chapters Northern Midwestern Chapter and Southern Midwestern Chapter.

 

[MC-92]

Why not divide it into two chapters Northern Midwestern Chapter and Southern Midwestern Chapter.

I like this Idea.....

 

[Jeepin_rebel]

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 think he is on the right track im in for MO/KS

Sorry been away from the computer for awhile
I like these breakdowns
GREAT LAKES: OH, IN, MI, IL, WI
UPPER MIDWEST: MN, ND, SD, NE, IA
HEARTLAND: MO, KS, OK, AR
(TN, KY as a potential 4th or included in Heartland?)

I'm in MN. Can't remember how far it is too the Badlands from my place but its 8 hours to Chicago. So would have to say all the states together would be rather huge.

Thats great, but as it stands right now, we don't have enough people for ONE chapter.

BTW why are we judging the chapter formation around the Badlands? There are a dozen places to go 'wheeling in the midwest. Lets try to keep an open mind about this.

Oh yea????? You're all just jealous because we have fish water.

huh???

what's "fish water"?

are you talking about where fish poop ???
