[1969] Group meeting @ the Convention in Tacoma last week?

[Jim]

Thanks for your well-stated reply, Steve.  It seems like in the age of
electronic communication there isn't much demand for "conventional"
organizations and newsletters.  We tried, offered, asked, and suggested, but
as you state below, there were no takers to lead the group in another
direction or try something different.  Like the Corvair, it was a short run,
but enjoyable.

Hey folks, we've asked for people to step up and take over leadership
positions and to volunteer for show meetings but there have been no takers.
None for the past couple of years. That's the cold, hard reality.
Leadership has floated the idea of formally suspending the interest group
and donating the group funds to CORSA and at this point, that may be the
most prudent course.
Thoughts?

take charge of the meeting, but I'm just a member like everyone else, and I
have the Air 'Vair meeting to run and am treasurer for the SCG, and that's
enough. So bottom line is that everyone just sat around and either stared at
the four walls, or chatted with others. Most boring non-meeting I've ever
been at.

not, I think we should advise the 2015 Convention planners NOT to allocate
time to us.
