The Trail Crew is a 4 wheel drive club based in the Los Angeles area of Southern California. Membership is open to anybody with a 4 wheel drive vehicle and a desire to use it how it was intended, in the dirt! We currently have over 30 members and encourage anybody to come join one of our meetings or trail runs. We usually have several runs planned each month. They range in difficulty from easy for stock 4 wheel drives to extreme for highly modified rock crawlers.

Mark Algazy sits down with the TLCA

Tonight's meeting was a doozie We've been hashing out the budget crisis [yes, even the TLCA has a budget crisis] for a few weeks now, and coming down to the wire, things got pretty intense.

As the club's representative I was one of four people who voted against the budget. I did so because I did not think it was conservative enough. I feel my views were given full and fair consideration, and intend to continue trying to help the BOD and the TLCA solve this problem. How we do it. We minimize energy dependency through the use of sustainable materials + systems.

• The Toyota Trails has had 8 pages cut for March, and is slated to remain that way for the rest of the year. The editor will still edit and produce the full 64 pages, with the 8 non-printed pages going to the TLCA website as exclusive content.
• The TLCA administrator as voluntarily taken a pay cut for the first half of the year.
• Several members have stepped forwards with plans to boost membership, so count on seeing some more TLCA visibility in the coming months. A phone campaign to get back recently expired members will kick off this weekend, with 5 core volunteers.
• Another membership incentive plan is being hammered out to give renewing members the opportunity to take a $5 credit off their next years dues for each new member they bring in, directly rewarding those who support the TLCA.
• Another suggestion is to make multi-year renewals a default option on the membership app, for those who are just somewhat forgetful.

Ross Woody also made some important announcements about Rubithon. Come to the club meeting for more details.
