Hey forum friends,
I know this isn't exactly the place to post this up but I know that this will get more feedback than the regional forum. If this is in direct violation of forum rules, I completely understand if this thread is moved.

I'm looking for locals in the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area to post up so that I can compile a list of members. My goal is to alert everyone with any possible upcoming events in this area. It seems the best way to do it is to keep track of everyone's user name so that I can 'mention' them in a thread. Please post up and mention that you would like to be contacted for local events and I will do my best to let you guys know what's happening in our area.

Here's the current list I have so far...
@G8RB8_12SR5

If you would like to be removed from the list, just let me know.

Keep me on the list. Thanks for this!

So whats going on??

I will be starting a poll soon regarding the best time to have a meet and greet. I am also involved with the Clark County Sheriff's Office SAR (Search and Rescue) group. Our SAR group is 100% volunteer and we are not supported by the County money wise.

I would like to hold a fundraiser for our group at a local Burgerville who will donate 10% of their business to our 100% volunteer organization. I need to determine what the best Saturday works so that we have a great turn out. Burgerville doesn't usually allow fundraising to happen during the weekends and will make an exception if I can gather a fairly large group together. There is a Burgerville next to Fred Meyers (Kroger) that has a huge parking lot and I will approach Fred Meyer for the use of it. I think this would make for a fantastic family friendly meeting that supports a local business and our SAR group. It would also be a great time meeting some of the faces of our 'internet friends'.

Depending on the timing, I would like to approach a few of my contacts and see if I can get a few things to raffle off (4Runner related of course ).

Currently, I am looking at the weekend of July 11th or 25th, maybe the 18th. This will hopefully give me enough time to gather a few things to raffle off and block off some time to get everything ready with Burgerville and Fred Meyer. I will begin a separate thread with a poll and dates in the near future.

You should edit the title to state the location.

Thanks Bobby, leave me on.

I thought about that but if people are willing to drive from where ever they are, I don't want to leave them out. @Okki drove across several states to have High Tech install his suspension lift. @skimr drove an hour to a coffee meet and greet. I'd rather have people be curious to see what the thread is about vs. not open it because it specifically states Portland. You never know how far people are willing to drive to meet others with similar enthusiasm for one specific make and model vehicle.

Oh nuttin much. Just want to see if you actually own a 4R.

Keep me on the list. Always down for local shindigs.

Cool. High Tech?

Hey dude, I would love to be notified, I think it would be awesome to know what happening!

Might as well throw me on the list in case you Portlanders ever head down my may.

Great idea, Bobby. Keep me on. I was just thinking of trying to set up a meeting. It's been awhile.

You might also add @Kotrin . He is in Portland I believe. @Jim82 may also want to be in the know.

...and @LawnDart

Count me in!

Count me in as well. Either here or on FB. Doesn't matter to me either way.
