Well I would like to know who will be paying the chapter expenses? We have already been told that we will need to have a banner with our logo. This is exactly why I have asked to not be a part of the board of directors or whatever you want to call it.

Matt this would probably be something that the original members could chip in for???

That would be collecting money from the members now wouldn't it?

No it would be a donation for supplies.

we got any other ideas for money within the chapters other than the original members forkin up the scratch for the beginning supplies?
i still feel that it's correct not to charge for membership/entry fees, but to have shirts, stickers, banners, etc, bought by members within the chapter. Have them pay cost and nothing more. Just to cover who ever is supplying the product. I don't see harm in this

I'm new to this forum and would love to be a part of this. I would like to be a member and slap a decal on my back glass to help this thing go. I have an 05 SD FX4 programmed, exhaust, intake, modified core support, 6in lift, with 37's so I know I can draw a lil attention to it also. I would like to know exactly how to do this. If you could shoot me an email at Luv2exeler8@hotmail.com.

I guess I'm a little confused here. What expenses would a chapter have? I don't think anyone ever stated that a Chapter "must" have a banner. It's just a suggestion of something that can be done with the logo. Personally, when a Chapter gets started in my area, and something comes to pass on the ORG flags, I'll buy one of each out of my pocket.

As far as t-shirts, stickers, etc... my feelings were that each member would pay for their own. That's a little different with T-shirts, but if someone wanted to do as Nate did for the SSS, there would be no problem with that.

I agree Nate. Stickers, banners and shirts are not requirements to chapter membership.
