Social Media Update<\/strong>
Kat Miller updated the board on Instagram and Facebook.
The Facebook and Instagram Social Media sites will continue to be
heavily used in 2024. Both sites are linked. Hashtags are being used
to get wider distribution especially from Instagram site. The goal is to
post pictures and information weekly during the sailing season. Items
posted on Instagram automatically post to Facebook.
There will be links for Sailing Class registration on all three sites
(Instagram, Facebook and PPYC web site).
It was decided that sailing pictures from places club members visit can
be posted to the PPYC sites.
The board will ask club members to wear PPYC shirts in pictures to
help promote the club. One of our goals for 2024 is to grow
membership.
Mike Doherty reported that the expense for the club web site will be
about $250 for 2024.
The home page on paradisepointyachtclub.org needs a significant
update. Send pictures to Mike.
A new Webmaster is needed. Mike will be retiring from the post at the
end of the year. Several names were suggested and will be contacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
investigate the availability and report to the board.
Steve Nelson will send out a club wide email requesting volunteers
from the club to take over the webmaster duties.
It was decided to have two folks receive all inbound emails to the club
rather than the blanket approach used today where all members of the
board receive the request and no one is identified to respond. Steve
and Dru will be the focal point for the start of 2024 sailing season.
Messages from Facebook will go to the same focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bill Blackwood reported the 2023 ending balance is 8314.75
The Liability Insurance carried by the club was reviewed by Chuck
Jenkins. It is a major expense \u2013 $1200 – but seems to be the coverage
the club needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Membership Issues<\/strong>
New member MENTOR program was discussed. To get folks involved,
a short bio with boat picture should be placed on the web site.
The program for Mentor for the Learn-To-Sail students and New
Members will be implemented. Steve has a document he will share.
Dock C rep was discussed. Candidates will be approached by Steve
to determine interest.
Venmo users should say that they are \u201cpaying a friend\u201d to avoid a
charge.
The Dock Reps will try to recruit non members on their docks. The
spreadsheet will be updated for current slip holders with boat names
and slips. Members will be identified and non-member slips identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make the course more fun.
A map of the lake will be developed showing where NOT to sail.
We need to have three classroom sessions and three on the water
sessions to give value to the class.
A sailboat model will be used to illustrate the Points of Sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June 8, 15, and 22 are on-the-water dates
Dru will prepare list of students and emails for the class member and
for the instructors.
We will try to schedule all on-the-water sessions for the afternoon on
June 8 with the social to follow that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
celebration.
There will be three Wednesday night wine cooler\/beer can races in
June, July, August and September. See Calendar for dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dates were set to coordinate with socials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
