NOBODY (ESPECAILLY ME!) is taking shots at those who are keeping on top of things (Jeff, Marc, and all those you mentioned), I'm concerned about things like this:
SECTION 7: DUTIES OF THE EDITOR

The Editor shall be in charge of the quarterly publication and all special publications of the ZR-1 Net Registry newsletter, this quarterly newsletter shall be made available to the ZR-1 Net Registry members both in hardcopy (at extra cost) and to the ZR-1 Net Registry web site as an electronic file for downloading. The Editor shall solicit articles from all Regional Directors and club members for publication in the quarterly newsletter. The Editor may edit articles as necessary but not to the extent the article loses its intent or meaning. The Editor shall determine that articles relevant to club business or proposals are written in a manner which displays no malice toward others. The Editor has the authority to accept or reject any article for publication. The Editor may appoint an assistant to share the duties of the position. Publication will be best effort possible. Newsletters will be mailed the first week of January, first week of April, first week of July and the first week of October. The editor has the option if required to publish additional newsletters during the year.

***************************

The first week of April was quite some time ago. If you are short of material, the officers need to demand more from their loyal Director level subjects, not criticize the members. I really don't know, and how could I, if you are short on material to publish or just not getting your job done. I suspect you are doing what you can, but obviously I do not know what is going on.

As for other duties, why are the financial details so out of date? This statement is over TWO YEARS OLD (from the current web site)>

Registry Financial Statement
Last update 03/03/2006

Treasurers Report

I take a great deal of pride and pleasure in presenting the financial status report to the membership of the ZR1 Net Registry. Since the creation of the Registry we have been very busy building the fiscal infrastructure necessary to support our organization.

I am happy to report that we have been quite successful. However, this success can only be attributed to the hard work of the volunteers who hold administrative positions in the organization and the members who have had faith in this organization via their financial support.

Allow me to highlight a few of our financial related activities:

We are now incorporated in the State of New Hampshire as a non profit entity.

In December, our organization was conditionally granted 501c(7) tax exempt status. We are in the process of filing the IRS paperwork for â€œconfirmedâ€ approval and should have that accomplished within the next few months.

We have implemented a fully functional accounting system (QuickBooks) complete with receipt and invoice capabilities.

We have established systems to accept payments of various forms- including those from personal checks, credit cards and Pay Pal. This indeed makes it very convenient for our members to join and purchase items.

At this point most of our major expenses have been made. We are in a very sound

financial position as we enter the time of year when most of our activities will take place.

The financial activities of the Registry from inception to December 31, 2005 are reflected on the accompanying statement.

Respectfully Submitted,
(DELETED)

2005 !!!! You get the point!!!!!!!!!

You guys need to re-evaluate this situation. You need officers who will work for your club, not a group of members who just happen to have the coolest ZR-1s.

Oh, Kurt, the pics were interesting. I know if I wasn't out there (and Kevin) chasing the "other" cars from between the Kerbeck tent and our tent, half of you guys wouldn't have had a plce to park!!
