Tampa/St.Pete/Clearwater area meet-n-greet

[jhelmuth]

OK. I'll have to find a place, but I'm thinking of the parking lot in the new Clearwater mall or Hooters across the street (or maybe both as we can start at Cleawater mall and move to Hooters if we have the right #s). I have enough pull over at Clearwater mall to rope off an area for us and I may be able to get some merchants to fork-up some freebies or discounts on food, beverage, etc.
I'd like to leverage the local Chrysler dealers - so I'll pick a date out in the last part of June (the 19th or 26th - a Sun.) and let's look at 11:00 am as a "open" time. We can all discuss if we want to do a monthly (say every 3rd or 4th Sunday - same bat-time, same bat-channel - or what).

If everyone would please reply to the post and let me know - "I'm in" - or "I can't make this, but I can make _____" , then I will move on posting some flyers to the local Dodge dealers. I think we can also make this a basis for a 300 club if everyone would like to do that (I would for one).

No problem. We'll keep yall in our prayers. Family First.

Dont worry, there will be other meets.

[jhelmuth]

OK. It's the 26th of June. We meet in fromt of the Target store parking lot at Clearwater Mall (located @ Gulf to Bay and US 19 in Clearwater, FL) - I'll try to have a clearly marked off area (cones and tape). We'll start at aprox. 11:00 am. Bring whatever, but I'm going to bring some cool drinks and a couple of folding chairs.
I am also going to try to rustle up some new members for the forum here and participants for our GTG by faxing or sending them a flyer with the details. It'd be nice if we could get 6-10 participants to start with (hopefully we'll grow from there).
I'd like to propose that we have this event the 4th Sunday of every even month (Feb,Apr,Jun,Aug,Oct,Dec). If any of you all have suggestions or can assist with making this a great event, please jump on in.

PS - ALL are welcome. You obviously do not have to live in the area to come join us.

June 26 is cool.... i too will bring some chairs...

I don't have any problem w/meeting on anykind of regular basis (4th sunday in the month), but obviously, there will be conflicting schedules. If it turns out that after the first couple meetings our schedules conflict too much, to accomidate as many as possible, we may just have to meet on a predetermined day, as opposed to the regular day. We'll discuss at a later time...let's get the first few under the belt.

did you have any success in contacting any of the dealerships to see if they have any desire to sponsor/participate ??? If they're smart, they'd send a salesman with a bunch of flyers, give aways, food, etc...

Let me know if i can be of any assistence to you.

[jhelmuth]

Here is the list of who's in so far...

jhelmuth
foodybat
C-Man
Goose

Come on guys... let's get at least 4 more.


PS - I'll be contact local dealer later. I'm not sure that I want a sponsor - yet. I'd like our group to feel like there is no sales part of this meet. I do think that it would be nice for future meets if we can get vendors to come give us product shows, etc. If you all want food, I'll see what I can arrange. I may also contact Hooters on Gluf to Bay and see if they'll provide us with an area for our cars to be all in a group. If so, then we can graze and whatever with our cars close by.

PM me if you want my cell# for contact. I can coordinate this better if I can get email addresses.
