[PPCC] Request for Social Media Committee Communication to Go Out Under Your Name

[Garrie Fox]

At first consideration, I see no need for this. However, I will further ponder it.
Our simple club has become too complex in structure in my opinion, but I have only been a member for 26 years. 
The club has become so multifarous that some of the old fashioned fun is no longer present!
I don't think Ed, who does serve the club in multiple functions, should be burdened further at this time. We have vacancies in the basic function of newsletter editor and the website says it has not been updated since August of 2017.

Hello PPCC Crew,
We spend a lot of time talking about car stuff, which makes sense, after all we are at our core, a car club.  But for a couple minutes, I'd like to speak to you all about communication, specifically, how we in the PPCC communicate to each other, the Corvair community, and the world.
To say that there have been a lot of changes in the social media and communication spaces over the past couple years would be an understatement.
Today, the PPCC utilizes four major tools to communicate to our various audiences;
1 - the secure PPCC List email distribution is our internal communication tool (members only),2 - the Facebook group/page allows us to expand our reach, in a very interactive way (Facebook group members only)3 - The Drip Line newsletter allows us to share all of the fun things we've been doing with folks who may be interested (members and Corvair community at large) [the newsletter will be back in full force starting in 2018]4 - our Club website, which allows anyone with internet access to find us through a simple query in their favorite search engine (global audience)
Additionally, we also employ a couple less aggressive communication tools to get our message out, such as our Club business cards and QR Code stickers which drive folks to our website, and beyond.
Recognizing that we need to review our communication tools on a recurring basis, I am looking to form a "Social Media Committee", which will meet regularly throughout 2018, looking at not only how we can improve our existing communication tools (security, consistence, target audience direction, etc.), but also explore the new tools which are available for us to get the word out about what we're doing, in a timely and interactive way (YouTube, Pintrest, Instagram, Twitter, etc.).
I have spoken to, and asked Ed Halpin to Chair for this new committee.  Ed has, in turn, asked me to solicit the membership for anyone who might want to join in on the fun.  No doubt this will be an impactful team of folks who will take this club to the next level, specific to our communications.
If you have a background in web design, web security, Facebook management, or you just want to learn about all that stuff, please reach out to Ed via email at  halpinem at comcast.net  or give him a call at  303-619-0080 to discuss your possible involvement.  Ed is looking to have the first committee meeting in early January 2018.
Thanks in advance for your support of this very important initiative.
Chris
