The Malaysia Chapter Of Coca-Cola Collectors Club - Part 2

There is no new news since last October about the chapter. There is so many problems again to establish the local chapter. Just recived the respond from The Coca-Cola Collectors Club District 4 Representative, Pat Vaughan about the procedure how to join the world chapter.

" Hi Ezuddin! It is nice to hear from fellow collectors around the world. I am glad to hear that you might like to start a local chapter of our club. I would be most happy to assist you with this. The first item of business is to ask if you or any of your 20 fellow coca-cola collectors from Malaysia are members of The Coca-Cola Collectors Club? That is our first requirement. You need at least 10 members who are primary members of TCCCC. A primary member is one who pays the full amount of dues and not considered an associate.

We have a form that you would need to fill out which asks several questions of the potential chapter. Your officers have to be either primary or associate members. Once we have this information, I would then take it to our board meetings and review the information. If approved, we would then send you a chapter guide which would assist you with policies/procedures of our club, as well as, with writing the by-laws for your chapter. We do not charge any money to be a chapter of our club.

You may not use our design logo nor call yourselves a chapter of TCCCC until you have been approved as a chapter of The Coca-Cola Collectors Club. You may also not use the name of a country in your chapter name. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to pursue starting a chapter and I will send you the appropriate form to get started with. Thanks and happy collecting! Pat "

From the mail it look very difficult for me and other fellow Malaysian collectors to establish the local chapter. Why....be a member of TCCCC need a huge investment at least USD50 per person per year then multiple by 10 persons and you will get around USD 500 time RM 3.80 in exchange rate and it will cost us RM1,900. I am not sure for amount of RM 190 per years as a fees is high or not for other my fellow collectors. Let time decide......Or agian worst to worst just summit it as a local club with the Registrar Of Soceity Malaysia and run the club according to Malaysia Soceity Act 1966 and at least it is a legal club in Malaysia.
