Chicago Area Group Name
 

here it is folks ... our very own first vote!!

here are the suggestions i received for the group name... im also putting an area for a write-in name in case someone has a good idea (i think i can add it later, but im not sure)

per someones suggestion at the last meet, i made the voting public in case other non-chicago people vote and we need to know who voted for what

whaddya think, keep this up for a week? once we decide we can have polak make us some decals or sumpin :D

OREO has a nice ring to it. It has my vote.

ROTEC Rotary Enthusiast of Chicago
ROT8S Rotary Eights
CHARO Chigago Area Rotory Owners
CARE Chigago Area Rotary Enthusiasts
C8O Chicago 8 Owners

no vote, just ideas.

I like the ROTEC name.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa HaHa
Omg I cant stop laughin ISC yea baby

j/k

OREO can be good you can make even an oreo rotary cooky.
Picture a rotary cooky and rx8's standing on it top angle view.

oreo!!!

What is up with the whole OREO thing! My word! LOL :D

What about OMGLOLPOSWTFBBQ?

I think ROTEC is a really good name if we take ourselvs really seriously and ISC if we don't.

if oreo wins i will not be making any more cookies! :p

How about CUCHI-CUCHI...

I am nuetral for the name i will take whatever.

CHIROC
Chicago Rotary Owners Club

Besides the acronym for the group name you should be thinking how it can be worked into a logo, as in the obvious of using the rotor shape for the letter "O". You might have a problem at some point with using the cookie (picture or name) in a visual logo if it gets published anywhere.

i thought someone wanted decals and such, im not puttin an oreo on mah car!! :D

Come on OREO, who else is going to vote?

I know, I'll register under several other user names to do my own form of gerrymandering to ensure ISC wins...those logos will look absolutely, positively, smashingly wonderful on everyone's cars...(insert evil laugh)

^ somebody stop him

I like ROTEC actually. (Rotary Enthusiasts of Chicago). It has a nice ring to it.
I also like CHIROC Chicago Rotary Owners Club but it sounds more like the name of a radio station or something.

Chicago 8s is OK but it is too bland and too generic. What are we, lucky 8s or something?

OREO is definitely not cool with me. Maybe we should permanently ban anyone who voted for that name. :p

And should people that haven't been to a meet get a vote?

Maybe this voting thing isn't so good. Maybe we should do like a Survivor style vote where we start with a list and each week we vote a name off the list until we get down to a good choice...


And and just to make things more difficult, here are some more suggestions :D :

ROC (Rotaries of Chicago)
RROC (Rotary Racers of Chicago)

And further more, perhaps an internet vote is not a good idea. Maybe we should do a live vote at a meet, perhaps a live vote with several rounds where we match 2 names against each other and hammer it out.

geez guys. its just a name. ive been jokin about all the oreo stuff (well except that i will NOT put an oreo decal on mah car ever) but the name is really just a sideline.

tho i dont think its fair to put up a vote then pull it at the last minute, imho. ill take the vote down on friday ... if anyone wants to change their vote by then, just PM me and ill tally up accordingly.

lets not make this more difficult than it needs to be :D

Actually, I think a name is more important that you realize. For example, you just said you wouldn't put an OREO decal on your car. See the name is important. :p

I think whatever we name ourselves, for better or worse, it should be by a majority vote (i.e. more than 50% of the club participants) that way we get a name that most of the people like. For example, what if Chicao 8s wins because 5 out of 15 people vote for it. That would kinda suck for the 10 people that wanted something else.

ok im not gonna argue with you. all i was saying was if the name ends up being something i dont liek, i get to choose whether i want to put a decal on.

i cant please everyone ... im doing the best i can. someone is going to be unhappy no matter what the outcome.

yes, but shouldn't the name reflect the wishes of at least half of the people? If people are going to be unhappy, wouldn't it be best if it were less than half the people that were unhappy?

No RedShe, this is all your fault. How dare you try to organize something. :p

Oh, and that's fine about banning anyone that voted for OREO...I voted for Chicago Rotary Evolution...

I just think it's funny three of my ideas actually made the poll. And one of them, being OREO, is actually getting votes.


And I agree, a vote at an event would be much better than on the internet.

hey yanno, ive tried really hard to just be an organizer and not a rule maker. dont ask me.

anyone else want to weigh in on this?

hey, i thought i hit you with a chair! :D

bwahahahahaa! i dint realize you did NOT vote for OREO!!! thats hysterical!

and anyone who submitted an idea got it in the poll ... thats fair

NOW the three of us in a car on the way to RA next weekend, THAT should be fun!!! :D :D :D
