I kind of have the same question. I'm always in support of people getting together to have a good time and build local camaraderie, but I'm not really sure what a council is supposed to do (I've never seen one). If it's so that everyone knows about whats going on in town, then I say the answer is Facebook.

love how the people that are on board with this you never see at anything!! just saying

IM DOWN!! WAIT....... DAMN IM IN TX! LOL

I agree, Facebook is a great tool to let everyone know whats going on in the community and it works great!! I always know whats going down but working 2 jobs makes it hard to make it out everywhere.

PERFECT POISE AZ

I think Arizona has one of the strongest "scenes" of all. There is always somone out here to lend a hand. I do believe there are some people out here that have the my way or the high way mentality but they dont really hang out so no worries.

Could someone who has been a part of SCMTCC help fill me in on the positive benefits of a council?

I went to a few meetings when AZ had one and it was like a lynching. I'd take Will's idea and run with it. Start an online based facebook/website that helps keep the minitruck community up to date on events coming up. Maybe feature a ride a month...something along those lines.

I've been to SCMTC meetings before and I personally found it to be a waste of time. Bob hit the nail on the head about the stock whips and such. The "council run" for "council members only" was a joke. Clubs that were not in the council were still there, and besides...why would you want to keep people from a show because they are not in a council?? Makes no sense.

As far as information being passed, the website is less frequented as this site. When I used to check it out it would never update. Go to one cruise night and you'll get all the information about every other cruise night around. Plus, this is 2011. I would say something like a local Facebook page would work better as most everyone is tapped into that already. Plus it's free and easy to maintain. Just my thoughts.
