Hello all,
My name is Ryan Herold. I'm going to be running for Vice President. I drive the black Mazda3 sedan and have been in the club since Freshman year but a bit more active this year since I have a car up here. A little bit about me for people who don't know I'm Florida, my mom's an Alumni. I will be a junior CIS major next year. I work at the CampusNet department for JMU.
Well I believe we need some more social events. We need to get the Freshman attendance up and feel welcome to the club as they don't have a car here. When I was a Freshman I felt like I couldn't do anything because of the lack of transportation so I didn't do as many things. We should maybe try have more on-campus meals to get together like there were last year to offer Freshman the chance to join in and get to know others. We should keep offering rides to Freshman as well. All in all we need to get people to get into the club and stay before they get too involved in other things.
I think we should keep doing the awesome job with car show. Maybe have it twice a year instead of just the one in the Spring. Fall and Spring car show I think would be both great successes. I also would like to go karting more than just once. I know it is costly and we always lose money on it but it has been awesome way to get everyone together. I still think we need to keep with it for the NASA events at VIR and Summit. I also think we should be more inviting and try to attend more Auto-x opportunities than just at Verona as a club. Keep the Kline's meet twice a year as well once in the Spring/Fall.
I think we need to also look into other local events such as drifting at Shenandoah Speedway and Summit, cruises, etc... that some people may enjoy. As always who doesn't want to go on more club cruises? Maybe we can try and figure out other routes besides just 33W.
Also, we need to get some fundraising ideas out there. Car washes are simple and effective as well as bake sales are a couple ideas that we definitely need. Keep the apparel orders going I know a lot of people like that for the Fall.
Feel free to bring up any questions! :thumbup:
