I'd like pass along Aaron's information re: an optional, new, (currently) free tool for communicating amongst our fleet. For those that attended Friday's fleet meeting, you already got a short introduction on this. Please read on below.</div>

<div>We are testing a new communication method: Slack<br>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span>This will not disrupt current communication methods. Meaning, if you do not use slack, you will still get all expected communications in the normal ways you are used to.<br>
</span></li><li>Participation is voluntary.</li><li>Participation is at-your-own-risk. Meaning, if you are concerned about hackers or data privacy. (this may not be for you)</li><li>Slack will give many benefits to communication: EXAMPLES</li><ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
<li>Does anyone know best place to get bottom paint?</li><li>Best epoxy for leaks under stanchions?</li><li>I have a friend in town that wants to crew Thursday. Beginner</li><li>We will be doing a race debrief in the parking lot through May to promote social distancing.</li><li>Does anyone have an older 120 they want to sell?</li><li>SOTN channel to find and chat with volunteers – as you can customize your channels (what you see, get alerts on or off, etc.)</li><li>Someone left a spinnaker near the dock entrance. (I put it in the club house) I really did that by the way!!</li></ol>
</ol>

<div>If interested, you simply need to:<br>

<div>
<ol>
<li>Send Aaron the email address <u>you want the invite to come to</u>. Also, anyone can invite anyone else.<br>
</li><li>Download the Slack app for your: smartphone, tablet or laptop.</li><li>Create an account <span style="color: rgb(200, 38, 19);">(make sure the password is complicated and unique - Ilovesailing123 is a bad password : )</span></li><li>Sign in via <u>the link that will be emailed to you</u></li></ol>
