Blackjack Posted January 4, 2011 #1 Posted January 4, 2011 After a fantastic and wonderful 3-year run, the time has come for me to step down as Host of the North GA Monthly M&E. I had a simple idea when I started this, which was to create an opportunity for those of us in this, and neighboring areas, to be able to get-together on a more regular basis. That was an idea that proved fruitful, and now, after thirty-something get-togethers (we did miss a month here and there), I am thankful and appreciative for all of the extraordinary support. Thanks, too, to those who Co-Hosted events during this time! I'm not going away and there's nothing wrong! I am, thankfully, incredibly busy providing useful/helpful mortgage information to Clients all across the country. In addition, I am in the midst of starting up a new financial-assistance business to help people accelerate the payoff of their credit obligations (including long-term mortgages!), legally and ethically. It is my hope that this change in circumstance will provide an opportunity for others to pick up the ball and run with it; that is to say, I hereby challenge you (that would include anyone and everyone reading this) to schedule and host a M&E of your own! Again, my very special Thanks! to each and every one of you that attended a North GA Monthly M&E or one of the several "Joint Ventures". It really is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this great Forum Family. Terry/Blackjack/Habib
etcswjoe Posted January 4, 2011 #2 Posted January 4, 2011 Thank you for all the hard work, great rides and M&E's.
RandyR Posted January 4, 2011 #3 Posted January 4, 2011 Thank you Terry. Good luck with your business. We'll try to keep the ball rolling.
Eck Posted January 4, 2011 #4 Posted January 4, 2011 I'm truly shocked.... but I do understand ... I know of not one person on this site that has shown the devotion you have by setting up monthly M&E's on a continued basis as you did Terry. My hat is off to you my friend. I surely hope someone in that area will continue with what you have created.. And...Happy New Year to you and Janis!!! Eck
Squidley Posted January 4, 2011 #5 Posted January 4, 2011 Habib, I always appreciate when members here grab the bull by the horns and make things happen. I have been fortunate enough to be able to ride a few miles with you and I have enjoyed that immensely. I understand the busy thing, I want to host more M&E here in Texas, but I, Like you, dont have enough time to go around. Thank you again for all your efforts and hard work with making it as successful as it has been. Good luck in your endeavors
Sleeperhawk Posted January 5, 2011 #6 Posted January 5, 2011 As always, another good thing goes POOF Thank you Blackjack for the 3 years of putting these events together.
86er Posted January 5, 2011 #7 Posted January 5, 2011 Ya done good, boy! It's hard to believe it's been 3 years. I wish I could pick up the ball for you but I still work Tues. thru' Sat. You did a great thing there mi amigo! I still plan my annual M&E&R&E&R&E in March. I have the Saturday off, I think it's the last Sat. of the month. Mark that on your calendar. Good luck with the new venture. Hmmm, maybe I should give you a call....
royalstarjac Posted January 5, 2011 #8 Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks for your dedication Terry! Hey, how about payin off my mortgage so I can retire. If you do I promise to start hosting the M&E's. Sound like a deal?
distancerider Posted January 7, 2011 #9 Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks much for all your effort and best of luck!!
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted January 7, 2011 #10 Posted January 7, 2011 Blackjack, you did such an incredible job of putting the meets and eats together each month! Good luck in your business ventures and we look forward to seeing you at the meets and eats you can come to! Tell Janis hi for me!!! Ride safe, Bobbie
kj4v Posted January 7, 2011 #11 Posted January 7, 2011 As with all the other post,Thanks for all you have done Terry! Good luck in all that you do.
Drreb Posted January 7, 2011 #12 Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks for all your efforts for the rides many enjoyed. I hope someone will step forward and take the bull by the horns.
Dave3 Posted January 7, 2011 #13 Posted January 7, 2011 Good luck in your success. Thanks for your friendship and commitment to VentureRider.
etcswjoe Posted January 7, 2011 #14 Posted January 7, 2011 As always, another good thing goes POOF Thank you Blackjack for the 3 years of putting these events together. Maybe we should start a Eastern SC monthly M&E
Eck Posted January 7, 2011 #15 Posted January 7, 2011 Maybe we should start a Eastern SC monthly M&E Sounds good...so when are YOU planning the first one...?
etcswjoe Posted January 7, 2011 #16 Posted January 7, 2011 Sounds good...so when are YOU planning the first one...? I just knew that was coming, I will see what I can come up with and put it on the M&E's..
YamaDuck Posted January 7, 2011 #17 Posted January 7, 2011 Terry you don't know how much I hate to hear this. You have become an icon around here. Although I do understand. Hopefully we will be able to ride together again sometime. I have seen where your plate has been filling up. Seems as the rides you were able to make I was not and the rides I was able to make you could not. I wish you all the success and happiness in your endeavor. I hope someone will pick up where you left off but I don't think any one person could do that. Hopefully we will all be able to pitch in and try to accomplish what you have done for us the last 3 years. Ride safe my friend, Harry
loehring Posted January 7, 2011 #18 Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks Terry for all the effort. I wish I couls have attended more but scheduling just wouldn't permit. I am glad you will continue to ride though. Hopefully whoever steps up will do as good a job as you did and I look forward to riding with you in the furture.
BBRune Posted January 8, 2011 #19 Posted January 8, 2011 Thank you for all your time and efforts .... as many here, I'm echoing the gratitude GOOD LUCK on your new "venture"
