All,
I would like to announce the inception of a new group of individuals that will be Managing the PCCA from this point on. As most of you might already know, the Admins of FordPinto.com have been managing all effects of the club and site as a group effort for many years. While we have been meeting these requirements the site & PCCA have grown very fast and it's becoming a challenge to keep up. Participating in the Pinto Stampede showed the Admins and myself that Norman Bagi has the determination and energy to refocus the PCCA and bring everyone together to further the Goals of the club and expand what the original founders had in mind. Please join me in welcoming Norm to the newly created 'PCCA Management Board'. This group of individuals will manage and plan the PCCA's further growth and events nation wide. The Admins will be assisting Norm in setting up this Council as new members are identified in the near future.
The PCCA was created 10 years ago by Greg Gronau (gpinto2), as an eGroup on line community next to John Perry's Ford Pinto Mailing List we all originated from. FordPinto.com was created to combine all resources into one unified voice to further the Goals outlined on the front page of this site today. These Goals were created during the inception of FordPinto.com on the Ford Pinto Mailing List. Since these times, Greg has merged the PCCA into FordPinto.com as have other sites to establish this Global Pinto Community portal that no one person has full control. We have always been managed by committee and in this recent move to establish the PCCA Management Council we are further striving to unite the entire Pinto Community under the founders original goals. As I have always said, this is your site- everyone's and now it's time to expand and enjoy what everyone has accomplished.
Norm, I look forward to supporting the Management Board's thoughts and visions of our future as we move forward to the bright unknown.
Scott Hamilton, webmaster@fordpinto.com

Congrats Norm! looking forward to seeing where the BossPinto takes us next ;D
Given Norm's propensity towards excellent communication, as opposed to Scott's, I think this is a good move.

Scott.
You are a class act. Norm, I feel you are no less in taking on some of the
responsibilities of the management of FordPinto.Com.
As Scott has said; this is a team effort. The group will flourish.
congrats norm you deserve it =D
Norm, looking forward working with you as we ramp up the next version of FordPinto.com.
Thank you everyone for the kind words. The PCCA and Fordpinto is hands down the premier Pinto organization, it is an honor to work toward building on the foundations built here to date. I thank Scott for taking the time to sit down with me and discuss my coming on board to help out. It was the last thing on my mind during the Stampede and alot larger an offer than I expected, but some of the Admins need a rest, they have been doing this for a while. I was exhausted from the Stampede so I know how tiring this work can be, but it is time for some others to jump in and put forth the effort to keep us going forward. Thank you to the Admins who gave me this honor and for your efforts to build the PCCA / Fordpinto.com into what it is today, I look forward to working with you to take it to the next level. I guess a few days off was good enough.
wow go norm congrats
