its been talked about for a while and now I have the ball and I am trying to run with it - an ONTARIO CANADA AMCA chapter

I need to talk to active members who would like to see a ontario chapter started, not looking for officers yet, just people who are interested in starting and joining a chapter

I would need input on where a central location for a preliminary meeting could be held that everyone would find conveniant ( travel distances ) and need input on a name for said chapter

Fellas, just read in the AMCA mag Board Minutes, page 83 right hand column, discussion of "Chapter Email Membership Recruitment Program".
It appears that this is intended to be an efficient vehicle (how bout a fast horse?) for your current task at hand.
'course, if you do this by "their book", it does give the Board a chance to pat themselves on the back, ya know, get fat heads and all, like they were legit
anyway, all it takes is to contact Bill Wood.

please pardon my lame attempt at being a smart-aleck. I really do mean to say that this IS legit, and kudos to the board for their help.

Names huh? Being as how we are dealing with historic bikes, I was thinking something historic for a name....
Before confederation this area was known as the Province of Ontario, it doesn't really roll of the tongue!
Our official bird is, not surprisingly, the common loon. So the Loonie Chapter?!? Perhaps not.... because inevitably we would at some point have to contend with a "twoonie" chapter from elsewhere in the country and would become confusing for those not intimately familiar with our currency.
If we reach further back in the area history, we will be dealing with fur trading, and do we really want anybody equating us with baby seal hunters? Or, because the biggest of our fur exports historically were beavers.... do I even need to go there?
On second thought, I can see the historic lead is going nowhere, time to rethink this a little....

Dear Dave -

This is John Cerilli, the new AMCA Executive Director and I live in Arizona. I am in the process of trying to start a Phoenix / Tucson AMCA Chapter as well. I have the application forms coming from Director of Chapters, Fred Davis, in Wakeman, OH. His contact information is listed in the back of The Antique Motorcycle magazine. It just takes 8 AMCA members in your area to start a chapter.

If I can be of any assistance to you in this process, please let me know, as I am at your disposal.

Best regards,

JJ Cerilli

Why back track? It is 'their book". After giving me the list for nearby States and then seeing that they could not control what a Chapter might say using the list to contact potential AMCA members without a Local Chapter, They changed the Rules to censor me and our recruitment efforts. We refuse to send out something edited by this Board in our name, Texas Members can Speak for themselves without using the list. We will hit 200 Members soon by word of mouth, friend to friend, and by setting a good example of how to Run a Chapter and still have Fun Doing It.

With the success we had with the "Meet and Greet" Reach Out Approach the Cherokee Chapter adopted, We saw how the Board copied us at Barber setting up across from us, even took down our Road Run Poster after we traveled 800 miles to attend as guests of the Confederate Chapter to promote the Kerrville National Road Run as well as the Cannon Ball 3. Over 12 of our Chapter members will be riders or support crew members in September. Non AMCA event same as Barber, go where the people are to find new members.

Very little Credit (except from Fred Davis) for the Chapters work in growing x 3 in one year, from 38 to 140 in 12 months, but they say their program is the Bee's Knees as long as they can review your wording, all about control. Shelby
