We are more than willing to help you as well Laurin if you are reading this with ANY help you need, just let us know what you need and we are there. I do not work and would be glad to help out with anything that would lighten up the load for you to continue. We want to keep this club going and the get togethers as well. Let's all help OK?

Dear Doobie Brothers And Fans, Should the plug be pulled (goodness forbid) our household will continue our own "fan club" as we Listen To The Music at home, in the car, and scream as loud as we want at future shows we WILL attend and I pity the fool who tells me to sit down.

Re: Fan Club Related
Sure I read them. But the organization is not there yet. So far all I see is that some of us might meet in Laughlin next year, and that's great, but I don't see anything that is actually endorsed by the Brothers with any kind of confirmation that they will even attend. That is one sure bet that we have been lucky enough to have with the conventions. I like many of the people on the list, but I mainly go to see a kick ass concert and to actually spend a few precious moments with the men that make up the band as well as their families. That is what makes it special. Just meeting friends can be done at the local tavern. I don't say this to discount the friendships that many of us have cultivated, but rather to illustrate the missing elements in our future get togethers, which to me is the Doobie Brothers. Oklet me have itI'm ready. This one is going to hurt I can tell already. Glenn Maui Doobie wrote: Glenn One question.

Re: Fan Club Related
Title: Re: Fan Club Related I'm actually coming in to this a bit behind the proverbial 8-ball, having only joined the club a few months ago. I, too, let Laurin know that I'm more than happy and willing to take on whatever I can to lighten his load. I say that having no idea what was has been done in the past with regard to delegating responsibilities and duties. I will disagree, however, and say that this or any other fan club cannot exist without a leader...President, or whatever title you care to use. Laurin informed us that he and the band came to this conclusion, feeling that the club had matured to such a point. Please don't flame here, but I I would have to assume that Laurin has reached critical mass as his plate has become way too full for one person, for reasons I am unfamiliar with, but suspect it may be due to a lack of "help"...volunteer or otherwise. It's difficult to resolve such issues when e-mail is the primary communication vehicle used by the members. I would suggest that we set aside an hour or so when we're in L.A. to discuss the issues and construct a plan moving forward. Things will certainly fall apart without a "road map". And the convention schedule has plenty of time for such a meeting. My two cents, gang. Best. - - rich on 5/20/01 8:36 AM, Glenn at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No Problem Chris.
