Re: Elections

 
I would accept a nomination for a board position Laura.

A little bio on me for those that might not know me.

Billy Thomas
wife, Tracie and son, Colt
We live in Red Oak, TX (just north of Waxahachie in Ellis County)

I have been a member since 9/15/01, member number 1394.

I am also a member of DFW-TX4WD. For DFW-TX4WD I have been on the
Board of Directors, Vice-President and currently on the Board of
Directors.

I have made several general membership meetings and to two meetings
concerning EDRA, one of these was in Ozona and the other in Austin.
Both of these meetings were with my son, Colt who will be 6 years
old in July.

Reason for desire to be considered for a board position is the same
reason I gave when speaking for EDRA. I want my son and his kids to
have a place to go wheelin'.

I and my family enjoy wheelin' and enjoy making it a family affair.
I do think that most think that guys in big Jeeps, dirt bikes or
ATVs are just a bunch of drunk rednecks. I strongly disagree with
that stereotype.

I have been on ATVs and dirt bikes, but bleed Jeep when cut. I
started driving a Jeep when 9 years old. Current Jeeps include
mine: Rubi Red, '03 Rubicon, 5.5" longarm lift with 35s and a few
additional modifications, wife's: '07 Rubicon Unlimited named lil'
Blue.

With seeing the above, feel free to nominate myself for the At Large Position on the TMTC Board of Directors if you feel that I would be a good canidate for this position. 

 

Then I have one more request - PLEASE VOTE.  If not for me, for the person of your choice.

 

Thanks

 

Billy

Thanks for working hard for the offroad community Billy.  I and I am sure the rest of us will support you.

Amen to that.  Glad to have someone willing to volunteer their time for the betterment of us all.
 
Billy, you would definitely get support here in the club.

That's awesome, Billy.  Thanks for stepping up!

To everyone, TMTC Members or nonmembers, now is the time to get involved.
If you haven't made it over to the new Yahoo groups members group...please ...you owe it to yourselves to join. You owe it to yourself to stay informed.
I have invited all the current board members, so there shouldn't be any reason why your questions and concerns can't be addressed. Please, they are willing to listen and give answers..now's your time to ask the questions.
It's as simple as sending me your email address.
 
Thanks

Finally signed up last night and was "admitted" this morning.  I'm listed as "equin4x4".  Unfortunately, I cannot access yahoo.com from work for some reason, so I'll read up later on when I have time from my home computer.

I haved moved the discussion to a forum on
Texas Offroad Network
http://www.texasoffroad.net/forum_ph...reads.php?Cat=

I have to have your user name to give you access.
It's important that all members stay informed

Laura,
can you hook me in? name there is  Pat_Hammer   thanks

Folks, I have tried to read up and everything that is going on with TMTC.  Right now it is important to stand up and be counted for TMTC.  TMTC has an obligation to the members, and if the members feel that there is a problem or a concern, then TMTC needs to address it.
 
I believe that in the past TMTC has done some wonderful work for what we love to do.  Right now there is more work that needs to be done. 
 
Please post your comments and concerns on TON - www.texasoffroad.net.  I know, just another forum, but one that is viewed by other TMTC members. 
 
If you have questions, please post.
 
Dates to remember:  July 28th - TMTC General Membership Meeting at BMRA
 
Thanks
