Lets do something good!

[FieroDough]

Hey guys!
Who would be up for some kind of fundraisng for a local charity? Nothing big, but just to get in the "good" with the locals and othorities.

I can't stress the importance of being seen as a responsible club and not a bunch of bandits!

This being said, so far all has been real good. But some good point were brought up at the Orleans car show yesterday. We should have some sort of  "Code of Conduct" in place at all are Fiero get-togethers. No incidents yet, but just to keep it that way.

any suggestions?

I was thinking of doing something for M.A.D.D. (good choice for a car club) or maybe Cheo? Maybe something for the illness Steve's father has? Kinda be fun to give somethign back ya know.


Cheers!
Eric

Hi Eric and yes I could not agree with you more that a code off conduct should be in place. Things like pulling donuts have to go and speeding through the parking lots. I would much prefer that people say hey that ottawa fiero club has class not o'shit the punk's are back I remember my first outing and we went to Tim's and the guy's that were speeding through the parking lot I thought to myself what a bunch of punk's. and also when at car outing like at Orleans, if the guy's ask you to straighten up the Car's just say sure know problem's if you talk back it will not get you any brownie point's. you have to treat people the way you wish to be treated. you can get more bee's with honey I just threw that in for the youngsters. I don't want to sound like some one's dad here but Let's make the club one that people will respect. And I guess I have put I my two cents. And as far as the fund raiser It sounds like a good Idea. let's start a Q.& A. column and put everyone input as to come up with something. Maybe we can wash the hooter girl's car's and they can take pic's of us on there hoods can you see it. lol

Woohoo! a responce! i thought i was gonna get shunted for saying that.

I'm gonna try to make a poll for possible "things to do" as far as charities.

Cheers!

Awesome idea's Eric.  Here is a simple one but that's the point

Abide by the laws & rules of the club -hmmmm rules eh
Promote goodwill in all activities
Honour commitments given to the involvement in organised Club activities and to members
Respect the property, rules and possessions of others, visited by Club members on club events
Attend club meetings and activities where possible
Respect the elected committee members and their duties
Where possible, to join in and help committee members to organise events etc. that will benefit all.

When I started this the last thing I wanted as I've seen in some other clubs is a whole lot of bureauctratic crap and ego tripping, but in order to keep a good reputation for the club and it's members I think it would be important to establish such a set of rules.

Do I have any volunteers to help develop such a set of rules?

As for a fund raiser it's a great idea, I really like all you listed MADD, CHEO, ALS Foundation or the Cancer society would be all great canidates. I think the best would be to participate in an exsisting event as a club unless we can get a good comitment from all the members as a solo event.

I'll look into events this year we could take in part of and hope to have a mail out tonight provided the pints don't get to me first
