    2014 Mini Regional

    I'm starting this thread to begin getting everyone thinking about how they can help make this happen. This can't be a one person job coordinating this, let's all look at doing one bit of this each. Here are some of the tasks, but if there are some I missed, post them and I'll append my post to add them.

    • Location scout.

    • Sponsors - typically would supply Raffle parts. Local and larger Falcon vendors would be contacted.

    • Food options.

    • Awards

    • Entry Forms

    • Mailings

    • Contact FCA newsletter

    Count me in for anything I can do from over here. I know I'm not in the ideal location to do much but phone calls or mailing but I'm willing and able..

    I could take on some of the graphics tasks like awards, forms, mailings. I'm sure I could talk Joanna into helping out.

    Anyone good at project management? We should probably chart out some deadlines we need to meet to hit our target date. We definitely need lots of volunteers to help pull this off but I think it would be good to have one person who keeps everyone aware of deadlines.

    And have a few meetings separate of the general meetings to work out details.

    Agreed. I do project management, so I guess I'll be working on that. My big work project is ending this next week, so I'll have more free brain soon. Art and mailings are yours Kenny. Right up your alley. Joanna too.

    Steve, you are good at "getting stuff" it seems, maybe you can be the vendor caller. Get some sponsored give away items in exchange for advertising. We'll put together a bunch of goodie bags with maybe even some coupons if they don't want to offer hard goods. Does Doghows PC have bags? For that matter a good vendor could be you. A Raffle coupon for x-amount in PC.

    Larry at a previous meeting indicated he's contact Lemay, but are you out there Larry? Should we reassign this? Location and cost, and available dates are critical early issues to nail-down.

    Obviously cost is an issue. We will want to determine a max budget for this. Maybe even buy from our Cafepress some schwag at our price. It's not a money maker, per se, so costs must be kept low, or we can sell some things to make up for expenses. I'll be in touch with Portland and see what they have to offer. Contacts, etc.

    Getting stuff is doable. Probably need to print up some sort of flyer to send to potential vendors as well.
    And a big yes to my shop kicking in either several or one large gift certificate. I do them for most the shows over here.
    I'll start putting together a vendor list and go from there.

    LeMay would be an ideal location. Here is the contact info regarding car club events.

    "For more information about hosting an event at the one of the Museum's locations, please contact LeAna Reising at 253.683.3955 or email at leana.reising@lemaymuseum.org."

    You may want to contact Monte Brachmann from the Columbia River Chapter. He probably has some checklists or notes they used. And he could give us a good idea on what it cost.

    I will be working out of state most of the time so I will not be much help. I am making a few cool raffle prizes to donate.

    Just a few ides for locations. Des Moines marina has a farmers market on saterdays. Several food trucks show up and they have public restrooms. Also a nice view of the sound and a park for kids to play. I can ask my girl to look into it.

    I was also thinking it would be cool if we could get out of the city down towards MT Rainer being we are the Rainier chapter. Some place Like Elbe, Ashford, Packwood, or Eatonville.

    If anyone wants me to check out the Des Moines marina area as a possibility, I work 5 min from there, so I could easily drop by the office check it out at lunch. Just let me know.

    I looked into the possibility of the Museum of Flight. You can rent the parking lot (only part of it, I'm sure...), but it's a bit steep. $1.5k. However, that includes museum admission....

    The Mazda club my son used to belong to once had a big picnic at Macdonald Park (no relation...) in Carnation. They've got a big barn/picnic shelter with quite a bit of parking around it. I couldn't find any details on-line, but I'll make some inquires if y'all think it's worth a try.

    2014 Mini Regional

    I will call Lemay tomorrow and thank them for their time. Too bad it didn't work out, I thought it was a perfect location.
    The Griots Garage spot that you mention Jeff also sounds very good and would be a great central point for North and South. Oregon group should be willing to come as far north as we went south though. But still, Tacoma will work out well with most I think.
    If no one has problem I will call Griots tomorrow and see what they offer/cost and get back to all. If it sounds good, Carol and I may run down there and see the specifics. I am not sure if we want to spend much money at all for the location. Any comments on that??
    Other ideas for locations are welcome and thanks. Larry

    I sent Monte Brachmann, from the Columbia River Chapter, a short email to let him know we were discussing the mini-regional. He cc:d Allen Shade and hopefully they can join our discussion.

    I think the toughest thing about finding a place you don't have to pay for might be to find one that will let a couple dozen cars park together, set up ropes, tents, and tables for 8+ hours without drawing attention to someone who will want to see a permit.

    I think we should expect to pay some money (not $2K) for a spot.

    This also came yesterday from our FCA Regional Director:

    Insurance

    If your chapter is hosting an official FCA event such as a Regional, or a Mini-Regional, then the chapter is required to obtain insurance for the event. The cost of the insurance is $100 for the event. Please complete the attached form to obtain insurance coverage.
