Fredericksburg Area start up

Coon-azz

Hi all. Myself and another Fredericksburg area Z owner are considering starting a chapter of the Z club for our area. Before we move forward, I'd like to find out more from our current clubs. I have several initial questions and would love any constructive input/feedback you could provide.

QUESTIONS:
1) Do we need permission from any of the other Clubs to build our Chapter?
2) Should we start out as a sub-chapter from one of the other groups? (MAZOC)
3) Any objections with starting an area chapter?
4) Do any of the other groups have a sample set of guidelines they developed?

FEEDBACK:
Because I've never started a car club/chapter, any advice you could provide would be helpful. Here are some of the ideas that I've been malling around, but never pulled the trigger.

a) Monthly Cars and Cigars meet
b) Start with model specific Z's. 280,240,300, 350 370. I'm only suggesting to start out with Apples-to-Apples.
c) Build a chapter specific website for events etc
d) Monthly/bimonthly Tech Sessions
e) Quartely road event

Please feel free to provide input.
