To all the complainers: Maybe I can shed some light on this. I've been a member of this fine club for over 30 years. For most of those 30 years, both the 300 Club News and the NewsFlite were edited by our beloved Eleanor. For the last 4 years or so, Andy Mikonis has done a fine job, under great pressure. Most of the pressure comes from a big lack of cooperation from the members, no contributions! Andy literly begs for input every issue and has to dig up older, rerun stories sometimes to fill the Club News issue. Sad! We have 1000 members and he can't get any to send in their story! The Newsflite has mostly been a repeat. Every 3 years, it starts over again with old Magazine articles, the next "Letter" each issue. The only "New" stuff is some of the Ads and Meet info. Charlie has pitched in to help with the Newsflite and may take some time settling into the job. I'm sure he's seen these emails and, if he doesn't throw up his hands, will write some interesting stories about our Brutes. he has lots to contribute and has good writing skills as proven by the F.I. article. Now to the part that makes me mad. Some of the complainers I don't think I've seen on the list before. But I'd bet that damn near all of them (not to mention most ALL of you) have never sent in a story about their car and how it came to be in their care. And that's after many requests. If you have a "G" and Andy is asking for "D" stories, sit down and tell us about your "G", were (and who) it came from, what you've done and how and so on. Send it in, tonight! Andy can hold it until he needs it. And for those that say Charlie needs to get better writing skills, YOU write something and sent it in, it just might get printed. As to why it " why it looks as bad as it does.", What that supposed to mean? This is an in-between issue to balance the Club News (now with some color) which is only quarterly. It was never meant to be more than a flyer, so the ads would get out sooner, with a little Editorial content. Don't sit there complaining about what comes in the mail if you don't help. I thought it was interesting, this club is about more than the cars, it's about the people, Ray in Mena On Apr 21, 2008, at 9:35 PM, Ron Waters wrote: Yeah, add me to the list of people curious as to why our club publication is being used as an individual's personal soap box.

I'm lost. > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/Yahoo!
