CARS HELD HOSTAGE {2.0}

[98SVT - was 06GT]

The club belongs to the dues paying members not 3-4 individuals.  Should we not vote on officers and committee members? 

The "club" is just like Sears, Costco or Walart. It is owned by a private group of "stockholders". You buy their service (magazine & good will for CS cars) with your dues. The "membership" does not entitle you to a vote in the operation any more than buying a set of tires from GoodYear let's you vote on what they do with your money. The "club" from what I understand does not own or run this web site. This club has worked well following that formula since 1975. The hicup when CS sued to try and control the club, registry and money caused a change in the board. I've seen too many car clubs and other associations ruined and killed by Home Owner Association types who keep changing by-laws and rules to create their own little empires - I certainly wouldn't like to see SAAC among them.

Our club IS NOT like a brick and mortar business such as Sears Costco etc. There are major differences between them but one similarity we can draw from is both seemingly worked good until they no longer were what people wanted. So after approx. 130 years Sears is no more what our club was seemingly is not what it once was. Sears,JJ Newburys,Robinsons, May Co Motorola are all gone by the way of the Dinosaur's. Why....? Because they did not keep up with a changing world, they didn't keep it fresh and listen to what its customers wanted. Sound familiar? You can draw similarities to your favorite restaurants,Kinney shoes, Foot Locker, I could go on and on. I shopped at all of them had friends that were in MGMT in most of those places. The powers to be back in the day were like the DODO birds they were oblivious to what the customers wants and needs were. They said we have been around forever we are not going anywhere... They were wrong! So to with our club if we don't pay immediate attention it will continue down that slippery slope we are on until there are no members to boast about these cars we love so much.Remember the tv evangelicals Tammy Faye and Jim BAKER They cried and said send your money to us for the LORD. There is a lesson to be learned there as well.
