here is what a Really Cool, Neto Club Member card looks like.
'Twas a cold November morning at Montgomery Co.
R-2 due to the crazy antics of Jason Sublette and David Hoette. With
nothing to do one morning these two individuals started to think.
Now that in and of itself is dangerous, but this morning something truly
heavenly was created. They decided to form a club. The name
was chosen to resemble that of a bar in an oriental city that was supporting
U.S. military troops. The name was the Really Cool, Neto Club.
The two of them supposedly misspelled Neato and it was never changed due
to the originality clause in their constitution that was never drafted.
The first club meeting lasted about 20 minutes and consisted of roll call,
songs, and the decision that the club needed more members.
Roll call was what kind of truck do you have.
The song, sung by Jason Sublette, was No Business Like Show Business.
After the adjournment, the two hoodlums proceeded to go to band, late as
usual. They recruited about fifteen people that hour and within a
week the club membership was upwards of 25 to 30 people. There were
mainly juniors and seniors, but they didn't discriminate based on age.
There were a couple freshman and sophomores, but the role of club members
was actually just a list of the friends of their president, David Hoette.
The club was a democracy of sorts, but whatever the founders said, basically
went.
At the second meeting there were quite a few
more people, and induction of new members took place. Membership
jumped drastically. The meeting was in essence a gathering of people
wondering what in the hell to do with this club they had started.
They hadn't a clue. Everyone wanted to do something, but they all
lacked initiative. There were several ideas put
forth, but no action was taken on any of them. There was even talk of changing the name of the club, but that idea was not seriously considered by many. Membership cards were announced to be on their way and, as promised, they were delivered within the week to all members of the club.
More meetings were not ever held. The members
all had different things to do. There was a float trip that was planned
for early August, but that was never followed through. It was a club
that existed basically in spirit. The members all joined together
and even though they did nothing, there was a sense of pride in the RCNC.
