[Sonar] Fleet mtg at Graves' splash party 4/22

[Hans Dickel]

How about a Facebook group?  I created one for WYC Sonar Fleet #5 at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_210931978932307.

Posts can be made, along with video uploads and photos.  Dates can be posted.  Members can be emailed (although I expect the WYC ListServ would be the primary method, at least for now.  There can also be group chat (for collaborative).  I am not sure how well this would work, but just in case, I set it up.

A message can be posted to the home page and then comments made within (a thread, if you will).  Each member can set themselves up to receive email notifications of content posted.

This has been setup as a closed group.  This means the general public can only see the group and the members of the group.  They cannot see the content unless they ask for access and are granted by an admin (which is right now myself, JR, and Marty).  This keeps out the spammers and inappropriate persons.

Cheers!
Hans

Hello Fleet 5,

In case you hadn't heard, I'm your new fleet captain.  Sarah Olmstead is now treasurer.  I asked Howard Noreen to become fleet secretary.  Hopefully many of you will be able to come to Graves' on 4/22.  I'm taking advantage of the gathering by calling a fleet meeting at about 7:30.

I'd like to also encourage that some "motions" and "discussion" take place virtually to get a head start on fleet business, but I'm not sure using Sonar.list is the best way to do that.  Any suggestions?  Should we add some kind of forum platform to our fleet web page.  Speaking of which, who's managing our web page these days?  Could this person offer a tour and some instruction of our web page and it's features at this meeting?   Should that web page manager role be another "officer" of the fleet?

The first item to discuss and vote on might be ratifying (if that the right word?) this new fleet officer slate.
Second item, fleet treasury report.
Third, fleet dues.  Should the amount per boat stay the same?  Perhap we should review how that money has been used in the past.   Do we want to modify how it's used going forward?

I also know that one topic for which motions, discussion, and voting is needed is regarding if the 1st and 2nd commodore cup races are counted any differently this year since they happen the same time as the Sonar NAs and the team racing event.

Other areas of discussion might include:
NAs
B-series party
Team racing,
                    the event in the fall
                     some local intrafleet stuff over the summer, what and when.

Thanks, hopefully see you at Graves'.
Marty Fossen
