Event plans will soon be discussed by the members of Triadics Central Branch. A Triadics Central Branch Group is almost reality on Facebook. To be a group member on Facebook is just that, a Facebook group member. No one is a member of Triadics unless the Main Branch (headquartered in Kissee Mills, MO) receives a completed member application. If you are in doubt about being a Triadics member, email Lefty at triadicstrikers@gmail.com & if he does not have you on the membership list, you must fill out an application or you won't have voting rights. Applications are available on the home page of the Triadics website https://gocgcc.wixsite.com/triadics Click on the red button halfway down the page on the left side CLICK FOR MEMBER APPLICATION. An application can be filled out online or printed, then filled out & and mailed to Lefty at the address on the form.

Membership really is a free, never a fee deal. As a TCB leader, I welcome anyone to join, but I am primarily concerned with only the five states of North Dakota - South Dakota - Nebraska - Kansas - Oklahoma. If you have any questions, email me at Kstriker1950@gmail.com or contact me on Facebook by Private Message. If you want to join the Facebook group, be sure to read the information icon first. If you want to join Triadics, the rules are on the Triadics website. Go to the Rules page on the main menu.

There is quite a vast area covered so far, from Texas border to Dakotas and from Kansas City to Alliance, Nebraska. Triadics members are spread out a lot; however, there are a lot of beautiful places to go. Yep, I'm in for the experience of the destination journey.

Be safe folks. Watch the cagers; most won't watch you.
