Okay - I had an AWESOME idea for the Chapter! I haven't checked it out yet because I need YOUR input first! I also need to run this by the webmaster!
I watch Ch 4 (WIVB) every morning & they have the "Why Guy" who does features on local WNY businesses/people. I was thinking of trying to get him to do a segment on Jim Dean's Off Road Shop. Then I thought about having US in the spot & where better than Mac's! They are a sponsor & the Why Guy has been there before so I know Mac's would probably say ok if I ask.
All we'd have to do is explain the website & the Chapter, mention upcoming events & ideas & recruit new members! The segment usually ends by 7:30AM so we should all be able to make it to work on time! The more of us that would show, the better it would look. We can also show we have ALL Ford trucks in the Chapter - show, off road, SUV, new & old & let prospective members know we are a fun & diverse group!
So - who wants to do this? It will take planning so we'd need to start thinking of the details now before I contact Ch 4. Whadda y'all think????????

 

Sounds good to me . Too bad i'm way down here on Long Island.

 

Well, JD - do you have something similar on your local TV news shows? This is a segment on our local "wake Up" morning news program. They spotlight different places everyday. You can check their website @ wivb.com. Click on The Why Guy & you'll see some of the spots he's done recently. I don't see why you can't arrange the same thing down your way if they have it!
OR - you guys can come on up here & we can do a HUGE group turnout!!!!!!! Now THAT would be awesome!!!!!

 

i'm out of my house toooooo early in the morning to even find out if there is something like that on TV. also i have a sat dish so i don't get all the locals. Just the ones out of then city( ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX).. I would love to come up there but i have to find hte time off from work and the money to feed the beast.

 

Cowlady, how is it possible that you can mention 2 out of the 4 people I dislike in this world?? I despise JD and as far as the why guy goes, I am currently dating his ex girlfriend, so any time I see him it is always a tad bit cold....

But, anything for the forum...If I can get there I will...

 

Um, er - I try? Sometimes I succeed? LOL????? Actually, I had no idea. Just to play it safe, who are the other 2 on your list so I can cross them off from now? ROFL!
If it's a problem let me know ok? I hope not though as YOU are the Mod of this forum & you are far more important to us! WE NEED OUR YETI!

 

What problem does he have with me???????? i never did anything to him.

 

JD - it's not you! It's ANOTHER JD! I'm so sorry - I NEVER thought you'd think we meant you!!!!!!!!!! None of us have anything against you so please accept my profound apology! Believe me, you're a valuable & well respected & liked member here!
Again. I'm SO sorry!

 

no prob. didn't think it was me. just sounded that way

 

Good - glad this is all straightened out! 'Nuff said!

 

Let me know what the plans are and I can see if I can attend. I am 2 hours away, but depending on my schedule I might be able to make it.

 

Great Ronin007! I'd like to see if a few more are interested so we can make a strong showing. That will help recruit new members! I'll keep you posted!

 

Is this idea still alive..with enough notice, Id be in !!

 

Hey! Did this ever happen?

Will it happen again?

 

Dave, nope never happened. It was a great idea, but there was no interest other than those that posted.
