Ken -- I have been preaching marketing for years and years - however there has been such a battle to prevent anything but the BOG providing members info that suddenly having board business instantly posted in public while the membership is not informed is a bit surprising. Had we been informed that the information about board meetings would now be streamed on facebook, I would have cheered as I am all for openness, although I would prefer a members area. But you can't spend years berating people who wanted it all out in the open to the membership and suddenly skip the members and go public without an explanation of the change. It is appropriate to notify the membership of policy changes.

That's what we're trying to do, Evan. But it seems there are a few that don't want us to do that, I don't understand why. I've read their opinions and still don't understand why they don't want us to move forward. Facebook and the other social medias don't cost the club a dime and they reach out to millions of people. If you like it then join in, if you don't then don't, that's ok too.
