List of Florida Corvette Clubs?

Pseudomind · 04-28-2006, 11:41 AM

I believe this should read,

"Jacksonville Corvette Club"

As I see this and I am not really sure if it is for the Jacksonvillle Corvette Club or not as it currently reads. JMO

Jacksonville Club,,rdavis72@bellsouth.net
Jacksonville Club,,thomps_r@bellsouth.net

Thanks

Well the reason it is like that is because Outlook Express apparently has a character number limit when putting names in the address book listing. I have two of them listed because in two separate websites I saw different email addresses listed for what looked like the same club.

One of the problems with the internet is that sometimes information can be stale as some webpages just become abandoned and the info woefully out of date. The webmasters lose interest or initiative to keep up with it, and the search engine spiders just keep indexing them all the same.

When I sent out the above letter to the recipient list at the top of this thread, I got 13 email address bouncebacks immediately, mostly from invalid email address errors.

There are a couple of new registrations here, but so far it is too early to tell if this request going out to the various clubs is going to fly or not.

Good letter Rich, hopefully things work out.

Very good letter Rich. Hopefully it'll generate some interest.

Well, let's see. I count 64 email addresses that this letter went out to. I think 13 of them bounced back as being no longer valid. So far I have had one reply out of the 51 other emails that went out....... Do you think all the rest were too busy washing their cars to check their email over the weekend?

I like the email. How about sending one to my club at: info@swflcorvetteclub.com ? I'll bring the topic up at our next meeting also.

OK, I'll try to do that in the next day or so. I would be curious to hear what response you get at the meeting, if you don't mind.

No problem, Rich. We meet the second Tuesday each month so it's only next week.
We try to keep up with the activity of the other clubs in our area, Corvettes of Naples and Corvettes on the Gulf. Some of our folks are members of 2 or 3 of the clubs. We also stay active with the local corvetteforum "misfits" for lunchs and get togethers. That's one of the great things about living in Fl, it's corvette weather year round!

Rich
I brought up this site at our meeting tonight. Our pres said for you to drop him a line. You can reach him at the link I posted earlier. I don't know how much participation we'll get (based on previous internet based sites) but we won't know till we try, right?
