There is a difference between coming and looking at cars or talking to members and participation in things like election of officers or other business matters and in having a car judged. These things have always required membership.

I sure hope that you meant to put a comma after "members". Then I have no problem with your comment.
As written, it can be read in two different ways.

read what she wrote in RED

My computer shows this:

NOTE: MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLUB IS MANDATORY FOR PARTICIPATION. JOIN ONLINE WITH CREDIT CARD AT WWW.KFCLUB.COM OR COMPLETE THE ATTACHED APPLICATION AND MAIL WITH CHECK/MONEY ORDER.

It does not say:

you do NOT need to be a member to attend any KFOCI Convention or Division/Regional meet.

This may be why it is difficult to get participation from many members...

Regarding the note that Bulletin Editor posted at the bottom of her post.... you do NOT need to be a member to attend any KFOCI Convention or Division/Regional meet. If you are a person on the planning committee of any of these meets, you need to be a KFOCI member to be covered by KFOCI insurance. The general public attending would be covered for injuries, if any, by the insurance carried by the location that is providing lodging/accommodations for the meet. - Mike Neubecker, President KFOCI

Interesting and good information. However, I don't see it posted above where you said it was.

I can't view it unless I "download" it to my computer.
I am unwilling to do that.
I know there is a way to "view" only, but I think it's the way the poster "attaches" the file.
I'm just not sure.

This forum has ended. Many regulars gone. Bestbif luck and I mean that sincerely, to the KFOCI group in these challenging times. Lots of friends here, and a couple who dont like me like M Fleming, but overall it was the knowledge and history shared that I enjoyed. Loved the "pickup " thread and wish i could have bought that, would have loved a couple of Rudys cars, like the leather trimmed 48 Manhattan, and picked up a Dragon to restore but i no longer am motivated to spend the time and money. Still, enjoyed it. And this forum, now dead, was my link. I joined a total of years in the past 14 or so. Not enough to be considered a club member. Only club member i met was Rudy Phillips. Never went to a meet.

Seems like the politics are intense here, for reasons I don't understand.
Like Roadmaster49, I enjoy reading the history and the mechanical side of things. Learning the nuances of different problems and the solutions has been invaluable. Yes, there is a camaraderie between most posters that some just can't understand.

The only meet I ever attended was several years ago in Brookpark/Middleburg Hts Ohio. Although I tried to converse with a couple of those in charge, their minds were occupied on other things. I felt ignored.
I guess it's my fault for not more heavily pursuing interactions. At the time, I had two young children to attend to.

Kory Fox says: "I still check this forum multiple times every day. I wish I was more knowledgeable so I could help others but I am one who needs a lot of help to get my car back on the road and maintained after it is back on the road."

That fits me to a T. I am quickly checking in and out, hoping to glean some information or news.

I have a '48 and a '51 Kaiser; both are non-runners.
I have hopes of getting them out of my barn and operational again, but at this point it is wishful thinking.
Physically and time-wise, i find I just can't work on cars very much.
Life goes on.........

Roadmaster49, although this Forum will be "locked" and relocated to a new site with historical access only, the fact that you (and others) are still posting here clearly proves it is NOT (yet) dead.

I was reminded yesterday that this Forum morphed from a previous version, which morphed from (several generations of) the original KF Chat Room. Standing still = stagnation ... time moves on, and so must the club if we are to survive.

Whoa! This is the first that I have heard about this. The reason for me re-joining the KFOCI was to have access here on the forum. And now historical access only?

I'm not sure I would have spent the meager $5 fee otherwise. And now it's $25??? Wow...

Although I have Facebook access, I don't use it except to view some family pictures.
I hate it. It is basically spyware IMO, and it is difficult to sort out the BS from actual helpful material.

Nice looking car... but for $15K, he could have straightened the camera and put some air in the tire.

General Discussion / Re: Hurricane Laura

While driving my wife to the hospital for surgery on Sept. 4, we were surprised to see a spread-out convoy of power company trucks heading north on I-271 near Cleveland, OH (towards Canada).
The interesting thing is that they were marked Holland Power and were from Quebec!
I can only assume that the 30+ trucks were part of a hurricane relief effort.

Here's hoping that things will get better for you soon, Carpenter and Louisianans.
