[K3CAL] New business at the meeting

[Jack Estevez]

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Dew to the ever increasing popularity of social networks, ie Facebook,
Google +, Yahoo Groups etc..., on the internet. I would like to get your
thoughts on the idea of having a page to increase exposure of the Calvert
Amateur Radio Association (CARA). I am aware that many of you do not use
these networks and may feel they are not inportant or have little to no
value to CARA. Just some info about Facebook. There are over 800 million
Facebook users world wide. 2,860,100 of them live in Maryland. Over 30,000
of them live in Calvert County, thats 34% of the population! About 8000
"Like"(a way to link your page to others) the Calvert County Facebook page.
What all this means is that there are many of thousands of people that use
this tool and I think there is no downside to a little free advertising. I
am able to create and maintain a page like this at no cost. It would be
largely based and linked to the CARA website.
I hope that you think about what I will be proposing on thursday night. If
you have any questions or concerns about this, please bring them up at the
next meeting if I get the floor.

73s, Jack (kb3wum)
