Adam (and Norsky),
 
Are there any daily/weekly activities that you perform on the site which can be shared among a couple of members,  thus freeing up some of your time? If so, can you list them?  I'd be willing to help out in some way.  [I have to be honest though, I would not be able to help out with Shark Bytes or this year's itinerary.]
 
I've been a member for quite a while and even though my post count doesn't reflect it, I visit the site on almost a daily basis. 
 
What type of help do you need in maintaining the membership cards?

Adam-
 
I'd be glad to help if I can.  I have a fairly extensive background with databases (MS Access, Oracle, little SQL Server.)  I maintain the membership database for the yacht club we belong to.  Never learned web programming, though.  I'm not too familiar with desktop publishing so don't know how much help I'd be with Shark Bytes. 
 
Let me know if you think I can be of assistance....

adam, biff had a great idea as far as helping out on the site. i think it would be easier for you to list some of the things and a short explaination for the things you need help with on the site. this way you wouldn't have to send each and every member the same list and be flooded with a lot of emails. this way hopefully any member can tell you what they might be best suited to do.  unfortunately i will not be able to make the trip so i cant help with that but maybe on the site i can lend some help as i usually stop here every day. btw...just got my lifetime membership stuff and as i expected everything is great.

Adam, I'd just love to help out but the only obstacle in the way is the Pacific Ocean.  I'm sure there will be plenty in the CONUS who will stick their hand up and be counted.
 
I'd hate to see this site and, as has been said, CLUB go down the shute due to lack of hands to keep it going. 
 
Anything that can be done from the largest Island in the world, just send me a request.

Adam. I can't be much help for the gathering, but I'm interested in what help you need in maintaining the membership cards or anything else I can do. As far as Shark Bytes goes, I feel that if you miss the winter edition it wouldn't upset me. If no one sends in articles, then I guess they can't be too upset. I hope your plea gets you the help you need, because we need and really appreciate you. Thanks, Terry

Thanks for the offers everyone!! I have a volunteer that I have set up to help with membership cards.  I also believe I have found a person to publish Shark Bytes.  As suggested, I will come up with a list of things I could use help with and post it here.  I will be contacting Jeff (70LS7) for help with Carson City. 
 
For now, anyone else that can help plan events for Carson City, please let me know.  Anyone that can create articles for Shark Bytes, let me know that too.
 
Thanks for the support gang!  You guys/gals are the best!!

Adam;

71Shark and I will be tackling the installation of power steering on his '71 and changing out the hoses and pump on my '80.

We plan to document via pix and notes every step of the way for a future Shark Bytes, although time has gotten away from us for this issue.

I would strongly suggest anyone that has done any work over the winter on their babies provide their story in their own words and pix if they have them. 

I would also strongly suggest we all go back and re-read a few Shark Bytes to see how easy it is to pull an article together.  It sounds like a big deal but it isn't. 

I'm sure you can help edit the story if they can get the story down on electronic paper.

Thanks for the great job you are doing.  I know this site is an invaluable tool to me and will be to all the newbies and old timers as well.

We can do this easily for everyone if we all pull together.

Adam,
I am about to start an o-ring conversion at all four corners.  I will also put on new slotted rotors and try a technique to get the rotor parrallel to the spindle.  I plan on documenting everything and will provide it as a future article for shark bytes.

Adam, I know I've volunteered at the tent in Carlisle, and I'm not too computer savvy, but if I can do anything to help with Shark Bites or membership, I will. Kathy
