Questions - Student Org Night

[DavidM]

But in all seriousness, I too have been a little disappointed in the general state of affairs this year. In fairness to the officers, a lot of the work that goes on is behind the scenes, and people who were never officers (and I know the majority of the people in this thread were, but for the sake of argument) might not see how much effort had gone into things. That said, the evidence of work going on is seriously lacking...campus events are rarely posted up on the forums, and major events are often not discussed or attended (or in some cases even known about?) by current students....that's an issue to me. One of the things I learned as an officer is that you can't make anyone do something they don't want to do...and if people aren't interested then fine. But the key is to make sure everyone knows about all the great opportunities the club provides, and thats on the officers and older members. I do appreciate the frustration from some of the non-officers, but one of the great things about MM is that you don't need our permission to do anything - if you're bleeding your brakes post up and see if anyone wants to come learn. I can't even count how many times David, Jake and I were out in the PRun parking lot doing god knows what and had various MMers stop by to lend a hand or learn something...to me thats the basis of the club. Sure not everyone can come out to VIR for the whole weekend, but most people can spare a an hour or two on the weekend to come learn about to change pads....

So I rambled a lot, but the thing I want to see more of is the information sharing...post up here and on Facebook when things are going on..that will do a lot to increase the participation as well as the perception that something is going on. Oh, and for God sakes tell us something about the car show, have we even figured out a date yet? I remember the first weekend back in the spring Jake and I were working on getting the lot reserved, lining up sponsors for raffle items, and reaching out to other local clubs.
