We have local chapter forums on the DOA café, located here: http://deloreanowners.forumotion.com/index.htm This is a relatively new offering, and the Board hasn?t marketed the availability of this forum very much so far. Hence the low numbers. The forum is however open to anyone who?d like to join. (for free even!) There is a bit more involvement on Tamir?s forum here: http://www.dmctalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48 However, overall, there has been relatively little involvement in the local chapters as of late, mostly due to the same problems we?ve been discussing here all along with the perception of the organization as a whole. I hope that I have provided some insight into how I will be addressing this in my new role. I will continue to listen, in order to make sure we get it right when we sit down to reformulate what the DOA can and should be. -Josh From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Abato Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 6:34 PM To: DML Subject: Re: [DML] Re: New DOA President & Vice-President "However, the existing chapters of DOA are offering something to DeLorean members in their area." No offense, but I have yet to see someone say "I'm a current DOA member and feel I get a lot out of it". What are existing chapters doing/offering in their area? I see no mention of it on any forum. Hopefully that will change, but currently there is no sign of any perks from the organization.
