Any intrest in having this club be part of the festival of lights parade? I can find out what it takes to be part of the christmas parade if you all like?

I think you need to have lights on the jeeps. but it would be a good way to promote here in the springs.

This sounds interesting. I think it would be a good idea to look into this and see if we can get a good group to participate in this.

Sounds like fun to me... I got an inverter, so I can plug in lights on my junk.

Ok, here is the information. they guy is excited about having a jeep club be in the prade. he also said that we have to be decorated with music.

there is an application form that must be deleivered by 11-05-06. Now, here is the catch unfortunatly. There is an entry fee.

If you have a form 501(c)(3) that proves we are a non profit, then the entry fee is $125.00.

If we are not a non-profit, then the entry fee is $335.00.

so what do you all think? since I am not a memeber yet, i can not fill out the entry form, but I have it if you al decide to pursue this.

High all,

I haven't participated much yet with the group, but I would be willing to participate and split the fee. Do we have the non-profit status? The total cost per driver may impact my ability. If the full $335 is required, I think we would need 10 jeeps or so to make it reasonable for everyone.

I also have an inverter, so lights wouldn't be a problem. What is the deal with the music? A bunch of x-mas CD's playing? One per vehicle? DO we all need to have our stereos blasting? Just curios. I have XM on my KJ and they have a 24-7 holiday channel every year. I also have a boom box that I could stick out the Sun Roof with the XM going. Would that work?

Keep me posted.

Well, we are non-profit, but have not officially done the incorporation and application, and at this point I do not think we are going to unless we get huge.

My question is this: What is the fee for? Who does it benefit? Why does it cost more for a regular club vs. non profit?
If this is to simply fill the city coffers, I am definetly out. If it goes directly (75% or more) to united way, red cross, toys for tots, ETC... then I may be in still if we can split the fee.

I'm with Ted on this. If the money goes to a charity of some sort and we can split the cost, I'll probably be in for it. If it's just going to the city, then I don't think I'm going to go through the trouble of breaking out my inverter and figuring out a way to wire it up (it's still in its box and not designed for ... um ... ah ... vehicles without numbers painted on the bumpers).

I had not even thought of where the money goes. I suppose that some of it helps to offset the overtime for the police force. I think either way, unless the fee is split six ways, I would not be interested. Can someone find out about where the money goes? Also, is the only way for a reduced fee to have the 501(c)?

Most of it goes to the parade, to get the permis and police coverage and the like. don't know where he rest goes.

Yes, it is a large amount. I was not told at first that there was a cost until I got the application.

Yes, to be non-profit we have to have that paper.

So I guess no parade, it was just a thout.

Just a thought: Is there a non-profit that is going to be in the parade that you could tag along with? You might even offer to pay their $125 fee and that would help them out.

I know that is kind of a "back door" way of getting in but I am a "back door" kind of guy!
