Dodge Brothers Regions

What ever happened about being able to form Regions. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Someone on Board of Directors is supposed to be looking into alternative insurance companies for the club's insurance. Hoping that some other company will be more lenient on requirements for regions. Haggerty is highly supporting our upcoming meet with $$underwriting and other donations. Maybe they will be the ones. Once we settle this, we rewrite the bylaws "requirements for regions" and we are back on track. Right now, we still will assist local groups to form for the purpose of "getting together." I as editor will provide mailing lists of local members to any member interested in forming a local group. Once insurance and bylaws are settled, these "local groups" will instructed as to what is needed to become regions. Note that in the recent issues of the magazine the previous regions are identified by anything but "regions." But still supported. Be assured that this is just a temporary glitch that will be corrected. This b.s. does take time, however. The problem is, and always has been, insurance. And lack of insurance protection from law suits against the national club <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. John Bittence, editor.

John, has anyone from the DBC checked into becoming a region of the AACA? It would mean all DBC members would have to also be AACA members, but it might solve some other issues as well.

Interesting idea, Dodge Brothers region of AACA. I will propose this to the Board via e-mail as soon as I sign off from here. Does that mean that the former DBC "regions" will then become "sub-regions" of the DB region of AACA?

John and Doug,

Our VP of Regions, Sharon Lee would be happy to discuss this with you as well as our office can send you a packet of information. This is not a new concept as we have had other clubs do this in the past and several contemplating it now. It resolves the insurance question and provides you with a host of other benefits as well. It could help you and us at the same time. In any case, good luck with the club and have a great year.
