As a proud member of the WBCCI and most importantly the New England Unit, I am happy to say that during our last official rally of the season for '07 we had five new families join as members. Most of those new members are in the 30 Something group with young children, HURRAY! Every family member gets a name badge and is a valued member of our unit. Sure, we enjoy our adult activities and happy hour but it is a joy to plan events for the younger members. The future of WBCCI is what we make it today.

I was rather rude to Ed Emerick for blasting the entrenched of the WBCCI, which was pretty unfair to him on my part. I was politly corrected by a mod, and did apologize. But I still don't understand the animosity towrds this group of people. It is basicly their club, they made it what it is, and we'll make it what we want it to be. We are enjoying the legacy that they created. How will we leave it for the next generation?

I find this similar to growing up in the 60s and 70s, hating what America had become. Now that my generation are our nations leaders, it's is not what I envisioned how we would remake it, not at all.

On my list of things to worry about:

I can't bribe anyone to help me put on my WBCCI numbers, I'll get em crooked.

Pondering how the earth tilted since I bought my AS, my eggs run to one side of the frying pan now.

Loving children (especially with salt and pepper).

How I can stop my AS from squeeking so much, what my neighbors must think!

How about calling them 'friends?'

Novel idea huh?

I kinda like "Aluminati." Has a respectful ring to it, but also references the thought of having been in from the beginning. Since they are the "elders" so to speak of a long tradition, even tho we may not always agree with their perspective.

cheers, bill b.

I don't seem to sew well with threads.

Friendships have no boundries. Friendships have no categories. No titles! No restrictions. No age limits.

Happiness is a wide open lovely thing...with absolutely no restrictions.

The only thing we really need to call each other...is friend!

Enjoy life, enjoy Airstreaming!

You have to keep in mind that most of the old timers that are in positions of leadership grew up during the WW II era. Disipline was forefront, especially those with military background, they are used to a "snap to" response. You just have to look past alot of that. A lot of those members pioneered what we have today and are passionate about it, they certainly don't want to see the club dwindle, but most believe that you just can't have a good organization with out organization, if you catch my drift. That generation may view change as compromise and are concerned that if you have too much compromise, then the original structure of the entire club collapses, if that makes since. They're just going by what they know has worked in the past and if it worked in the past then more of it will work for the future. The attittude of "we always done it that way" is very hard to break. The best way to ensure change for the future is to get active in a leadership role now and start working your way up the ranks. No one lives forever and there will have to be leadership turn over during the next 5-10 years. Be on board and in place for when that time arises. I can guarantee that no one is just going to walk into the role of president 5 years from now from out of nowhere.
