"I'll take the LOG on the Internet!!"

Communications is the lifeline of every successful organization. Today’s communications take so many forms it is difficult to keep track of all of them. There is the standard telephone, both cell and landline, and “snail mail” which travels by way of the postal service. But, the most efficient means available to virtually everyone today are the electronic forms, such as e-mail, web sites, chat, Instant Messaging (IM), and the newest concoction, BLOGS. All are readily available, and, with a little practice, easy to use.

Buzzards Bay Sail and Power Squadron needs to be timely and accurate in communicating to its membership about upcoming social events, education offerings, changes to plans, topical boating articles, and other messages of general interest. Not only are the electronic tools more efficient, they also save money, which, in turn, keeps membership fees and offerings down to the lowest possible cost.

All this is a long way of asking you to send us your e-mail address so we can communicate with you in the most efficient manner possible. Be assured we will not be giving your e-mail information to anyone else, and it will be used solely for the purpose of communicating BBSPS information. The closest we’ll come to marketing will be to point you to our swap shop of boating items.

Please send your e-mail address to me at hborman@comcast.net so we can add it to our local BBSPS database. If you change your mind later, just send me a note and I’ll remove your e-mail address from the database. The squadron is giving consideration to adding e-mail addresses to the roster in the future to facilitate communications among members. You will read more about this in future LOGs and e-mails.

Thanks in advance for making our job of communicating with all of you just a little bit easier… and a lot less expensive!

----------------------

Each month we get a few more members signing up for taking THE LOG via the Internet, instead of "snail mail,"... but we could use more! We can save more than $25 per year for each of you that sign up.

E-mail to me by clicking the icon below, and I'll add you to the growing list of members who receive a monthly E-mail notification announcing the online Log availability. It is in color, easy to navigate, and you'll be notified about a week earlier than when the published copy hits the streets. And, you can link to our Sponsors' web sites for easy shopping for their products and services.

Thanks.
