We are in support of our club's decision to no longer be affiliated with the VCA. I do not believe it is a choice anyone wanted to make. MCVO was here before VCA, it will be fine on it's own.
For my part I stopped posting on this forum a while back; concerned that I'd say something and get us banned. Pretty sad to avoid the national club site because your worried that you could lose your regional club membership.
I am uncomfortable with the nepotism, for lack of a better word. Specifically husband/wife Marshall and more recently their son/magazine editor. It doesn't pass the sniff test.
While VPA is not VCA, it's in the club's best interest to go above and beyond any expectations Chrysler had with respects to each being transparent. Was the club's best interests not important enough or were those making decisions not capable of understanding this? How could anyone think poking a stick in Chrysler's eye was would go unnoticed?
Lastly, VCA is late with our magazine, the only directly recognizable membership benefit. In the years we've been members this never happened, the previous publisher handled it in a professional manner. No excuses, instead a great publication that you looked forward too getting.
All of this begs the question why does any viper owner need the VCA?
It would be great if none of this happened, great if the club could return to being an open honest organization, but that does not seem to be where this is headed.
