Scion Evolution - Maryland Chapter????
Ok everyone, I am looking to get a poll started to see how many people are interested in having a Maryland chapter of Scion Evolution. The more people we get in, the quicker we can get up and running. SE - Miami started not to long ago, and have a big base, they are doing really good down there, having a lot of events and meets.
If you vote yes, please add where in Maryland you are from so I have an idea where we should have our meets and such. Thanks everyone.

Everything is open to ALL members so if someone is concerned about were the funds are going to and what they are being spent on they are more than welcome to inquire.
Asides from that, Scion Evolution has made a very positive name in the little time we have been around. We have helped put together the Exposed Event in Southern CA. (along with Scion Corp, this was a project I proposed when I was invited as a guest of Toyota to see the tC prior to it's formal introduction)
We have been in the Toyota dealer publication - Toyota Today and we are also helping out Scion/Toyota in their trainning videos..ask any dealer if they have done the tC trainning and there is a section that covers SE.
We have worked hard to get us where we are today in so little time and we are involved with working with companies such as Axis, Motegi Wheels, Arceo Wheels, Magnaflow, Varad, Hotchkis, bBist, Wax Shop as well as other companies that are helping us out . The advantages here is sponorship opportunities - though we don't guarantee it since it's up to the companies to sponsor that individual but you can ask some of the members that have been sponsored on what they think of the club.
Unfortunately, most of this is going on in Southern California since we are based out here. But as more chapters are getting more and more active, they can see the benefits of being associated with SE.
We also have secured discounts for a lot of products....this includes the mentioned companies as well as Cabe Performance, Scion of Glendora and Carson Toyota (we are the only Scion club that they are offering a discount to as far as I know)
SE Miami in less than 3 months with being with SE is working with some big dealers and also will be featured on television soon.
We have some photo shoots and club profile features with well known magazines coming up soon as well.
Not only has the name been recognized in the US ...it is now transcending to Japan as well. We have been actively sending shirts and stickers to Japan as requested by Toyota bB owners there as well as club members of their respective clubs..I think this has to do with several of our cars being featured in Japan.
We leave it up to owners to decide if they want to join us and help promote SE through out the US. Regardless if people join or not..we still support all Scion owners regardless. We are here to have fun and help us much Scion owners as we can..it takes a little bit of money since most of the expenses are paid for by the club.
We are always looking for Scion owners and enthusiasts who share the same values we have and hold the same regard to Scion as a whole as well as Scion owners.
Good luck and if you have any questions or concers..you can PM me, xbboy or bbist.
Or you can just ask any of the hundreds of members of SE what they think so far..
Best regards................

I'd be open for it. A chance to be apart of something that could grow huge. I belive in bBism. I donno if anyone else has noticed it. Driving down 70 some random xB waved at me. The culture of this up and coming community of xb (and xa) owners needs a crew to be associated with. I would gladly pay my $40 to be a part of SE.

Thank you Adrian and Dave, much appreciated.
For those of you that haven't heard or seen SE, check out www.scionevolution.com and go the their Gallery, and click on Pictures. Most of, if not all of their meets they have are great turnouts. They don't do the same thing over and over again. It's a time to meet new people from all over the place, get away from your everyday routine, and just kick back and talk about anything and everything. It's a great organization.

I've been a SE member since Day 1. And it's one of the best organization , if not the best, i've joined.
i've had my own share of clubs and organization...but SE is something special. You will notice immediately the family-like relationship within the club. It's one of the most diversified group of people with different taste, background, knowledge and even opinions...but all have one common share - Scion.
SE is not just a club where u get a shirt and a decal, it's not about sponsorship, it's not about comparing who's scion is better than others, it's not about who's club is bigger or better, it's about group of people from all walks of life coming together to share their own views and ideas about Scion.
I've met and made so many new friends from SE...not just "club friends" but real genuine friends who you can call up and ask for advice middle of the night. I am very proud and honor to be part of SE.
So the $40 covers only the material things... wat you gain from the membership is priceless IMO.
I'm sure there are other clubs just as great...but SE is my choice.

We can do it!
You can count one from the Annapolis area :D I think that this would be a great idea. These Scions are going to hit big around the car show world, and if we make a name for ourselves... well?

I'd like to chime in....
I've been in clubs before and even my own..It takes a lot of work and dedication to keep it at a level and maintain it. I give a lot of props to all the members of SE in keeping a very strong, tight relationship.
There isn't anything bad I can say about the club. Every member is courteous and always welcomes everyone with open arms. If you dont believe me, you have to be in it to believe it.
I also had my doubts, but its been worth every minute!
SL is a club in a sense, but SE is that and more. More interaction, great support, plus it's like an AAA.. :D You break down, just call a fellow member up! Everyone works with each other and alway there to lend a helping hand.

I agree with Stu. Nothing would say more then to have a row of SE box's, coupes, and well hell I donno what to nickname the ISTs;But to see them lined up at a show with a big ol' SE banner. It'd make an impression. 'specially at a large show. Here in MD I always keep a look out for fellow Scion owners, why not take it a step more.
