Where have the leaders gone? - Dallas Ft Worth Aquatic Plant Club

digital_gods · 09-27-2010, 09:45 PM

Ok, summer is over and it's time to get the club back rolling again. Tex Gal has brought up the fact to have a meeting in mid October but I yet to hear any confirmations of a time/date/place. I keep waiting for the activity level to pickup to start referring people over to our club for not wanting to loose them from lack of activity. I yet to see it picking up. I under summertime gets slow from people taking vacations but summertime is over. I enjoyed attending my first meeting at Tex Gal's house back in August. Time August meeting rolled around, September meeting details should have been set and October meeting details in the final stages. I understand people get busy with their families, careers, etc. but you choose to take on the responsibilities of being the leaders of our club. If you no longer feel like you can handle the burden and responsibilities of being leaders in our club, then step down. Let us elect people into position who can handle the duties of being leaders of our club and drive us forward into a thriving club.

I think it just that niko is busy, and tex gal is going out of town.
no one wants to set a date... what about just getting to together for a dinner some where... what ever happen to having the meeting at the fish gallery? if I had the space I would let people come over.

It's not Tex Gals responsibility to coordinate everything. So it shouldn't matter if she is out of town or not. Their is other officers within this club that can help. I yet to hear anyone of them sound off like they got a pair.

I am ready to meet some more of the club members, Lets get together. Meeting at the fish gallery sounds fun.

The club is pretty casual. You are welcome to plan a meeting and advertise it here. People will come.

I'm out of town and just checked into the forum. I'm not a leader but a member like everyone else. I really don't know who are all the official members. Niko is the president, I think. He's in the throws of a new business so is probably really pushed for time. I'll be back in town on Sunday. Niko will be posting in today sometime. We will get this going again. Don't get discouraged

I've belonged to MANY volunteer organizations. As MacFan suggests, anyone who can organize or host a meeting should just go ahead and announce it. I really liked the idea of the Fish Gallery meeting, or any other place where we can see more planted tanks!

Dallas world aquarium is pretty expensive at $25/person, I'm speaking for you here Joey. lol... I think when I'm not pushed to study for a test, I can probably kick my parents out for a few hours and have some people over. I'm about to set up my 120g so yall can help me with that! lol.

it was just an ideal... have you desided on keeping the stand, or making a new one?
next question, who has the space to host 20-35+ people?
