Looking to join a local club in Ohio

[rsslark]

I have some interest in participating in a BMW club in Ohio, but every time I send a request I get no response. Any suggestions?

Hi Rick, here is the Chartered Club page for Ohio http://www.bmwmoa.org/club/chartered_clubs/US/Ohio I'm not sure where you were looking and I hope this helps. If this doesn't work you can let me know via the private message system-accessed from the top middle of the page or re-post here. Frequently the people run a little behind on requests as they are mostly volunteers. This part of the forum should attract someone from your area, if not I'll move it around for more attention. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Gary

Rick,

Which particular Ohio club are you seeking information about? If you don't get a response off that link let me know. Sometimes I other contacts with in the club or I will find someone to assist you.

Not sure yet. I was attempting to find a club that is active and not so far away. I am in the investigative stage, but so far I have received no response back from the two clubs I have contacted. Sort of makes me re-think the whole club thing.

My experience is that there is an unclear relationship between a club's PR and the possible fun content. Members who are great fun to be around, don't necessarily run for office or perform if they are hijacked into it.

Look at the MOA's list (here somewhere), Google it, and if it looks right, go to a stated meeting. Also, some clubs meet informally for a meal, regularly.

Try one or two on for size. You might succeed; you might not.
