DeTomaso Mailing List: May 98, Message #43

So Scott, certain individuals at the Board Meeting in Vegas didn't stand up
and say that POCA will never sponsor a track event at Vegas as long as their
on the Board? 

And that Kent Snyder wasn't fine with Dennis talking about the Silver State
but Joe Moore stepped in and said no?

Tell me you haven't onced talked about the De Tomaso Forum at a POCA Board
meeting and nobody has ever asked about a way to silence or moderate it?


Having worked on the POCA Board and producing one of the best Newletters POCA
has ever produced, I'm aware of the sacrafice and time needed to do the job
right.  What I hated most the entire time on the Board was having to get
anything changed for the better of ALL POCA members.  Like "nixxing" the
LA/Orange County  X-Mas party funded by POCA.  Like a computer and scanner for
producing the Newsletters.  This was met with a huge fight, but paying $1500 a
month to have the Quarterley type set by someone was fine?  It should be noted
that now Mike Drew does this on his computer for nothing.  The printing costs
of the POCA Newsletter and Quarterely were never questioned until Bill
Hohnhorst, on his own, looked into it and found a friend of friend had been
doing it for years for way-to-much!  Point is Scott, that if people like us
don't ask the hard questions, there is no way any change ever takes place.
Like you said, you sacrafice alot of time being a Board member and if I didn't
care about POCA, all the Members of POCA, I wouldn't be spending my time
writing this stuff.
