You can also go to http://www.facebook.com and do a search for "Northern Lights Sailing Club", and you'll find us as well.
What you need to do:
a) If you're on Facebook - Please head to the page and hit the 'Like' button on top of the page. The more fans we have the better... if we have 25 fans or more we get our custom URL, which means we'll have something like www.facebook.com/northernlightssailingclub (just an example). Also, feel free to recommend the page to anybody else you know on Facebook. Yes, even your mother-in-law! ;)
b) If you're NOT on Facebook - Sign up for Facebook, then follow a) above.
c) If Facebook is something you'll never do - Quit reading now (no worries), sorry to waste your time. It's ok.
Done so far: We've posted photos, videos, events, and updated the info tab.
Stuff to come: All NLSC information - including: events, photos, videos, sailing links.
What's going to be great about it:
It's about participation! Social media IS about people interacting so that's how we are planning on running the site. Members and non-members can interact and talk about sailing and related issues.
For more information, contact Steve Engelmayer, our NLSC Facebook Manager.
As of January 1, 2011, Bearings, the NLSC newsletter, will be delivered to members electronically by e-mail instead of on paper by snail-mail.
We have decided to go electronic for two reasons:
First, it's the environmentally responsible thing to do; by discontinuing the paper newsletter we can reduce waste and save a few trees.
Second, we can save a lot of money, too. The printing and mailing costs associated with producing and delivering Bearings to all members accounts for about 40% of the club's total annual budget -- and we don't expect those costs ever to decrease. If instead we deliver the newsletter by e-mail, the club will have considerably more money to spend on sailing events and activities.
We realize that some members do not use e-mail, and we will continue to send paper copies to those members who request one.
IF YOU STILL WANT TO HAVE PAPER COPIES OF BEARINGS MAILED TO YOU:
Log into the "Members Only" section of our website and go to "Edit My Information", then check the appropriate box.
OR complete & return the form which appears in our Bearings newsletter.
Members without Internet or e-mail should be sure to request to receive mailed, paper copies. Follow the procedure above.
- Notice the part about people without Internet access using the on-line procedure to request paper copies :)
