Are you talking about just this site? Like this?

If you are asking about a regional one send the president of your region an e-mail.
It was discussed but everyone has to release their information and I think most were not interested.
The information is confidential for all kinds of reasons you can imagine. (Vendor solicitations- to members abusing the lists for personal use.....)

question #2 - are we ever going to get a link to our personal galleries back under our usernames like we had before?

Do you mean page 10 VCA ByLaw Article I, Sec 11, "Member To Member Directory" ??
The "Member to Member Directory" is a who's who of the Viper Club of America. It lists members by region to facilitate member to member contact for camaraderie and event planning.
This bylaw has been in place for years, but nothing has precipitated from good intentions of by-gone years. VCA places a high-priority on confidientiality of Members contacts, despite what the blylaws say...I personally suspect that it would be 'too difficult' for VCA to allow members to simply "opt out" of such a directory, so it has not been created.
FYI, I have published an IN/KY Directory for for the past 7 years. As part of our initial welcoming letter, EVERY new member receives a directory info sheet FROM ME that is return-addressed, and pre-stamped. (see example below). As time has gone by, MOST now return the form. This system seems to work, and the members appreciate the attempt to guard their personal info.

Thank you.
That's a nice idea if the club wants it. One question is how do you handle the members that are vendors also? Or do you not have any in your region?In our area we have quite a few vendors. Feel free to send me a PM.
Right now I wouldn't send out stamps or the paper- most everything is done via-e-mail for the club. Members have chosen to "opt out of the e-mail if they wish". With electronic signatures that would take care of it the paper work and expense if the KC club choose to go that route. Might save the Indiana/Kentucky club some money in the future.
More money for club events for you guys!
Our club did discuss it and there were not that many interested in compiling one-keep in mind we have four different states involved for this club. Mitch is more than welcome to contact the president for the KC club and let his idea be known so it can be discussed again if he want's to.

That was nice. If we had that again, I'd go back to uploading my pics here instead of photobucket.com so everyone could access them easier.

Mitch,
We just had our regular meeting tonight and there will be a board meeting next week. Please shoot Bill C an e-mail tonight with your concerns and they can discuss it at that meeting.
I was at the board meeting before when it had been discussed. That's how I know.
