A year ago I asked the Greater Midwest Lego Train Club if I could become a
member. Their response was "We are a highly localized group in The Twin
Cities/Minnesota area." I dont know if that was the response any other of
you guys, but I live in Michigan IN THE MIDWEST! Surely a man from Michigan
can join a GREATER Midwest lego Train Club?!?!?!?!? This brings me to my
point. Why is GMLTC named Greater MIDWEST Lego Train Club???? Shouldnt it
be Greater Minneapolis/St. Paul Lego Train Club??? What if MICHLTC were to
expand and have members from Indiana Illinios Ohio and so forth, Would we
call it the IN-IL-OH-MICH-LTC or the I-I-L-O-M-LTC? It seems fair that if
GMLTC is going to be Localized in Minnesota it should be the MLTC or
something of that matter.
