Desert Images Customs stands for the finest in automotive and personal character in the car club society. The following rules and regulations are forth to protect our club and its members.

Name:

The club's name shall be Desert Images Customs.

Club Logos:

All member vehicles are to have a logo considered to be in good taste and good condition at all times.

If at any time a member pulls their logo (for reasons other then changing windows, etc.), that member has terminated their membership.

Current logo will be discussed at the first meeting of each July, at which point any new ideas may be presented.

Requirments:

Members must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Vehicle must have a minimum of one modification.
2. Owner must be willing to participate in shows, truck runs, and other club activities.
3. Petitioning members are subject to guidlines set forth in the 'Pledging Members' section of these Rules & Regulations.

Meetings:

All members are encouraged to meet at specified meeting location at specified time.

All members are encouraged to be on time/early to all meetings.

When meetins are missed, penalties will be issued as follows:

1. Miss one meeting between river runs - warning.
2. Miss two meetings between river runs - no official warning.
3. Miss three meetings between river runs - cannot attend upcoming river run
4. If a member attends that river run without permission of Desert Images Customs, his or her membership will be automatically terminated.

Meetings are to be held at location designated by club members.

Please no visitors who are not interested in the club (wives, girlfriends, and children are not considered visitors).

Club Funds & Dues:

The monthly dues (for the entire year) will be decided upon at the first official meeting of each year.

If four monthly dues are missed, that member is terminated and would need to re-petition to the club after paying any owed money.

Each member is encouraged to give his dues to the 'book-keeper', during the first meeting of every month.

Club funds will be kept by the 'book-keeper' along with records of collections, spending, etc. These items are to be logged into a ledger and once the account is large enough, a bank account will be started and kept in the club name.

Usage of club funds requires a majority vote (of attending members).

If the club wishes to spend money and the club funds are not large enough to cover the costs, then a vote will be held to decide how to raise the money (car wash, etc.). If we vote to pay out of our pockets, it must be a unanimous decision.

Pledging Members:

All pledging members will be voted upon twice, by secret ballot.

The following is the procedure for a new pledge:

1. A 'quite' vote will be held at the first official meeting they attend. All current members look at the pledge's vehicle to decide if that vehicle fits their idea of what the club image is.
2. To begin petition period, the pedge must recieve a mojority vote.
3. The petition period is to last two months or four meetings during which time no dues will be paid and no logo will be purchased for the pledge's vehicle.
4. At the end of the two month petition period, a second vote will be held by the club members, at which time a unanimous vote is necessary inorder to join the club.

No more than five pledges may petition at any one time.

General Rules:

All members must respect other members, their vehicles, other clubs, other custom vehicles, and other club members at all time.

No members under the age of 18.

When cruising/caravaning anywhere, stay in line.

Do not act stupid: the club will define stupidity when a situation arises.

To have somebody removed from the club, a two-thirds vote (not including involved member) will be held by secret ballot.

Any changes to the Rules & Regulations require a club discussion followed by a majority vote.

Desert Images Customs does not condone the use of illegial drugs. Anyone found to be using them while representing the club will be terminated from the club immediately, no vote necessary.

No Desert Images Customs member will drive drunk. Any member caught driving while intoxicated will be terminated from the club, no vote necessary.
