The Rogue Cruisers will be operating a little differently in 2024.
Announced earlier this morning on the group's Facebook page, the car club has officially become a registered non-profit.
Cory Schultz, one of the co-founding members of the Rogue Cruisers, is happy they have this in place going forward. He is confident it won't mean any big changes for their members.
"It's just kind of a natural progression I think," said Schultz. "We've been talking about it all summer and it opens up a few more avenues for us. It helps us achieve a few more goals that we had kind of set out originally and just moves us forward."
Another change coming in 2024 will be the implementation of a steering committee. This will be a group that helps organize events, plan fundraisers, and ensure the group has more than one or two minds offering direction.
"Everybody can be a member, but what we'd like to see is a few more people throw their hat in the ring, so to speak," said Schultz. "Just to make sure we're getting everybody's ideas."
For now, the Rogue Cruisers are waiting for the weather to revert to car show-capable quality. They plan to keep the wheels turning on what ended up being one of the biggest weekly events of the summer last year with Taillight Tuesdays.
"I think we can," ventured Schultz. "We are excited. We have a lot of new things coming up. We have a whole summer ahead of us, and there are lots of guys building and resurrecting their old muscle cars and hot rods and cruisers. We're so excited to see everybody talking about it."
Anyone with any questions about the non-profit status or the steering committee can message the Facebook page for a direct response.
