Hi Jim; This isn't an EOC group, although most are supporters. Directors are out there and we heard from one on list. The others have my invitation to send me a phone number and I'll call if they desire to converse with me. I'm sure everyone is very well aware of what's going on here.
Is it necessary for the "head" to have a coupe? IMHO if he/she has the best interests of the membership in mind, then it isn't, but WTFDIK? Those people who are non-owners and head up multiple clubs for their own monetary gain should not be allowed by the membership to remain in the position. Oops, there I go again! Let me hop off the soapbox. I need to return a call! Al DeMarzo Visit the Ercoupe Swap Page - Free and Easy http://www.ercoupeowners.com/swap/swapbook.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: James B.

I have the vague recollection that the head of the club no longer has an Ercoupe. Whatever - it seems odd to me that there have been no posts from the operators / officers of the club. Beach (Jim) WST / RI After having “slept” on the thoughts I presented last night, I have a question: What is the Mission Statement of the EOC? To get anywhere, we have to know where we’re coming from. It is absolutely possible that the club is completely fulfilling it’s mission and meeting all of its goals! If that is so, and the club is not meeting the needs of the membership, then; maybe we need to change our mission. It is not unheard of. Successful organizations modify their Mission Statements as times and needs change. Imagine, if you will, a modern fire department with items mentioned in it’s mission statement concerning fresh hay for the horses and no mention of hazardous materials or emergency medical services. Could it be that we, the EOC, are still looking to provide fresh hay? If so, we need to re-write. Could it be that there never was a Mission Statement? If this is the case we need to develop one. I sure hope that an officer or two of the club will step up and answer those questions, not to defend him or her self but to educate those of us who do not know. Tommy
