We have a new Vice Presidents for the Triangle, Triad, Charlotte, and the Coastal area. We also continue to expand, so we’re adding a Mountains Vice President…

We’ve already had one HAMOM “Help a Member of the Month”, in which 5 or 6 members completely dismantled a FJ45 to bare tub and axles in about 6 hours. Pretty impressive! 2 other guys (the President and Triangle Vice President) spent their time doing some fab work on a rear tire and cooler carrier for a 4x4LABS rear bumper. Pictures will be posted…

February will see our annual Meet and Greet event, in which all members and their families are invited out to meet everyone. It’s great time to get the kids out and let them run, talk trucks, and enjoy some great fellowship. The Board of Directors will be formally announced, the schedule will be “unveiled”, and we’ll have some official club business.

Some changes will be evident, the website will be utilized more for the official schedule. Most chit chat about the particulars, will be on IH8MUD.com, which continues to be our forum for conversation. If you hadn’t checked out IH8MUD, follow the link on the main page. Please email Joe the webmaster for any problems you might see in order to keep the website up to date and well used. It’s a daunting task, keep him informed!

There will be a corresponding trip to Uwharrie on months that we have a longer distance trip, to make sure we have activities in case you don’t feel like the trek across this great state (or SC, VA, KY, or TN).

 

So, here’s to a Great 2012. Use the spring to get your rig running in top shape, because we’re going to have an adventuresome year!
