When we started the club I never thought that it would last this long, but we stuck through some hard times and here we are today!!!! It's that time again. We are currently going through some changes that will take us in a new direction and I feel that as long as the group sticks together and works together the way a club should that we will benefit from it. This will be our toughest challenge to date. Jason has run the show for a long time, and he did an unbelievable job with it, and I think he deserves a ton of credit for the club staying together. I've been there with him every step of the way discussing issues that arise. Noone knows how many days and evenings we've spent discussing things about the club. However, when it came down to it, everything rested on his shoulders, no matter if it was a decision he made on his own or if it was one that he and I discussed before it was presented to the club. Jason was the one that people looked at when a decision was made...and that is a lot of stress for one person to handle when you consider he's working 40 hours/week, running a business, and trying to raise a family. I'm anxious to see how much work everyone puts into their new responsiblities (including myself). There is noone else in the club that juggles as much as Jason does, so I know that each person can fulfill their task.
I hope that this is the best year yet for VAPERZ CC!!! With a little hard work and dedication, I don't think we will have a problem. I have faith in everyone that has stepped up to the plate, and there isn't a doubt in my mind that we can get the job done! Lets get the name back to where it was 2 seasons ago!!!! Noone touched us then...and there is no reason why we can't be at that level again!!!!

Noone touched us then...and there is no reason why we can't be at that level again!!!! I have never said anything like this so bare with me... I'm glad to see that people has stepped up. Dave has been there from the get go and went through a lot with the club. Thanks to the ones that have been through the long haul!! I could not continue on doing what I was doing something had to give... I will still be a member and Im sure I will be in most of the heavy conversations but the club needs this change. You have to be active to be a member but you have to be much more dedicated to take on club responsibilities. Hands down I want to thank you Dave…Not only for taking the position but for saying what you just said. There is no guide or course to take when heading up the club..You have to do what you think is right and fumble along the way...No one told me that this would go on this long or to spend countless hours on the preparations for car shows, car washes, coordination with other chapters to get them started, copyright laws, legal registrations, coordinating meetings, website stuff, contacting members, and so on…. The funny thing is I even heard someone say “I mean what all is there to do to be a president but to look over stuff”….That stuck a knife deep when I heard that because I knew others felt the same way but its not what you see that I do but what you don’t see..I have broken up fights, been in fights, been yelled at, done some yelling, been criticized, and so on….Now you are thinking why? Why stick around…Members=The Club…You have to remember it’s not about me, it’s about you…It’s not about the person that gets kicked out or quits or the one that’s bitches….It’s about the other ones…You stick it out and hope for the best because every one person that has a problem you have 50+ that does not. Remember that!!! I can not remember very many times anyone came to me and flat out said hey you are doing a good job keep it up…I do remember stuff like that…for an example this time in 1996 when Dave made an announcement at a meeting and said “I just want to say that I’m glad that we now have a president that has taken control of the club”…I guess you had to be there to understand that….I was not the first president but I was the one doing more than the president…After that I just took it on…Thanks again Dave….If I was the president for just the glory and the recognition then the club would have stopped in 1996. I love the members and I the love times that we had and continue to have. Thank you for making the right choices by stepping up to continue these memories!!

Thank you for making the right choices by stepping up to continue these memories!! i am not sure if i have ever said this or not jason, but thanks for all the work you put into keeping the club around. you all are the first group of people that i found, that i truly feel like i fit in. i love cars and so does everyone here, which is freaking awesome. as dave said, i see this year being a great "rebirth" for vaperz and hope to come out stronger than ever!! oh jason has dave talked to you yet about me helping out on here? need to get with you on that.
