Colorado Chapter Kickoff Meeting Update

old_man · Mar 6, 2004

The Kickoff Meeting was a great success. Lots of people and rigs showed up. The official signup sheet showed 27 people/families signed in. It was nice to see such a good turnout on such a windy day.

The first order of business was election of officers:

President -Tom Houston (old_man)
Vice-President - Led Lancos (shortbus)
Secretary/Treasurer - Troy Betka (yellaheep)
- Joey Barone (xjk9bar1)

We discussed the upcomming Colorado NAXJA

event this summer and everyone was excited.

Our thanks to JohnJohn / BigOffroad who ended up providing the hamburgers/hotdogs and drinks. He didn't want to make a big deal about it when the dealership dropped the ball, but I thought you all should know.

We will be getting the pictures up on the new website soon as they come back and I get the url's linked. I'll keep you posted.

Remember, this is your chapter, so your inputs are always appreciated.

WOW!!! Thanks JohnJohn! Sombody shoulda said sumpthin' though - you shouldn't have had to fork out the dough by yourself! First order of business shoulda been taking up a collection!

That truely was a great time - got to see some people I hadn't seen in a while. Can't wait 'till we get to 'wheel as a group!

Congratulations all! Looks like we're off to a good start!

This was a blast. I've only ever been the one or two of the xjs on a trail run or M&G type event, so to see so many modified rigs in one place was great. Thanks for the burgers. I had a long night so they helped out this morning. That and I forgot the digi cam. I so wanted to take some pics. Guess that is a good reason to meet up again soon.
Sent my info in for membership. Had been on the boards but with out a local chapter I never really wanted the full membership. Got some good Ideas on the direction of the build of my jeep.

Yeah, we had a pretty good turnout, alot of well built rigs that dwarfed me. Can't wait to wheel with you guys and ride along when I can't follow............. :cheers:

Cruzzin_XJ · Mar 7, 2004

Nice to meet some new folks, and see everyone I knew.
Tom, I don't think I'm on your list, I was tied to the grill when you were collecting names. So I guess I'm number 28.
