Title: Looking to start a new TBF club
Post by: Andy on December 12, 2006, 09:33:41 AM
Hay Dan:
   Im kicking around the idea of starting a TBF Club here on the west side of the state. Is there a info pack that can be sent out to me with all of the how too's. I have never started a club so I want to do it right the first time. I have 5 other guys that are interrested and with me that makes 6.

                                           Thanks

Yea Dan, I have some teardrop guys who are interested in maybe starting a club as well. We'd be west side as well but further north than Andy.

I have some documents that will get you started. After you check them out, contact me about whatever else you need. We'll do what it takes and what we can.

We just had an existing club notify us they are joining and the interest is definitely building fast the past couple of weeks. We need the numbers in Michigan, but nationally, TBF is doing real well with around 25,000 members so far. The Northern Divisional payback with just 5 states this fall was about $29,000 and we should pick up at least two more states this fall.

Things are looking good. Our first TBF National Championship is coming up in April.

I'll email the documents to you unless you can't receive attachments through email.

I have your snail mail address already through our earlier contacts if I need to print out and mail stuff to you.

Yes they can - TBF does not have any limits on who else you join up with or partner with at the individual level, or club level. All we ask is that you meet our own member requirements as far as dues.
