Here we are almost a week since we began exploring the feasibility of a dynamic new WBCCI unit in the Southwest U.S. Here are the numbers so far:
Arizona 3 Colorado 2 Kansas 1 New Mexico 7
Of these prospective 13 charter members, 8 are currently members of WBCCI. The other 5 were waiting for a unit like this and will be new members of WBCCI.
We need about five additional committed charter members to get this going. I would like to demonstrate to Region 11 that we can generate the requisite 10 members for a new unit over and above current members.
Any update on the numbers?

As Flyfshr correctly stated, I have been at this year's Rocky Mountain Vintage Airstream Club Rally in Creede, CO. It was great! While there I discussed our new unit with a number of folks and garnered the support of the President of the Den-CO Unit.
The Region 11 First Vice President has asked to meet with Airstream25, Ken J and myself to discuss and clarify our proposed unit objectives. He lives in Portales, NM. We hope to meet with him at some halfway point as soon as the three of us can synchronise our schedules. Here are the numbers for Prospective Charter Members at this time:
AZ 3
CO 3
KS 1
NM 7
Total 14
We gained one from Colorado and two from NM since last count, but we lost two from NM so that number stays the same.
I'm off to the Manzano Mountains and will be offline until Thursday or Friday.

My former neighbor, a dear friend, also lives in Portales. Guess that must be a third of the population.

Brad,
As I recall, Portales has 12,000 nice people and a few old grouches, at least according to the sign on the north side of town. Made many trips to Portales, our oldest daughter went to Eastern New Mexico University from 1993 to 1997.

Speaking of a "few old grouches", can we get this tread back on track?

Meeting was proposed for a half way point like Santa Rosa. However, I suggested just having a conference call. Faster, easier, cheaper.
Since the prospective members are from AZ, NM, CO & Kansas, looks like if the unit does get formed, we would likely have our meetings via conference calls or possibly on an Airstream Forums private chat room.

There's always Skype. If you haven't used it, Skype works great for multiple callers. The guys use it for the VAP just so you get an idea of the quality of sound.

Brad and company.. I have not used Skype but continue to hear good things about this eBay product. There are also several net conferencing options it will depend on the level of meeting participation for greatest cost effectiveness. Maybe this chapter can help bring the WBCCI into the 21st century.....imagine...virtualstreamin.....

I use Skype to talk to my son in Brazil.
Skype is good and free. However, it requires downloading and installing the application and for best audio echo elimination, a headset is suggested.
I have a feeling that many people will not do this.
Skype had unlimited conferencing however, Wintel platforms has hobbled it to a max. of 4 participants + host.
