Paul,
Welcome to the Southeast Region. Dan is right do check out the Club membership. Membership to the club is at no cost to you for the first year, we do this so you can check out the club and see if it is for you. After the intro membership you can join (some folks do not wait the entire time to become paid members). While you are enjoying the intro membership you can join us in rallies and discounts from the factory. The Southeast region is the fastest growing and has more members than any other region in the club.
I am sure that Rob and Betty Ford, the North Carolina Chapter Leaders will contact you about the happenings in the state.
In the mean time if there are any other questions you might have please contact me by PM or E-mail (dyocum@yahoo.com) I look forward to meeting both of you in the future.
