From the local club prospective what is offered is requirements and what is wanted is knowledge which is not currently available from the national.

Jerry, like you, my wife, my two teenage kids, and myself planned & hosted the 52 Annual Model T Ford Club Int'l meet in our town without the aide of a local club or chapter. I must tell you the only two times in my life I have really been extremely nervous is when I walked down the aisle and said "I Do!" at my wedding, ...and the 2nd was when I sat down in that Holiday Inn office and signed on the dotted line guaranteeing the Meet. I now know what I would do different at the next meet, --and my wife has told me that I can do another Meet again, ....with my next wife! THAT ain't gonna happen either!!
