It was fun to share their conference and visit fellow committee member Bev Kennedy. Some notes I want to pass along: 1. Commanders report, one mentioned "members are dropping because we are not giving them anything they are interested in. " I sure hope this isn't an education or lack of problem? Squadron must deliver after the sale, "Join Because, because, because, then don't deliver" ? This is probably a bigger problem than we want to admit. This is a problem of "burnout!" This is solved by recruiting new members and asking them to be evolved. 2. Publish "Mintues" in newsletter. This would help members better realize there is a business side to the squadron too. And their help is needed. 3. One squadron uses their FUSA dollars to issue "Scholarships for Seamanship" which give each new member a free Seamanship manual when they join. They are given the place, time, and date when the class starts. They are getting good recruiting results with this program. "Beaverton Power Squadron" I've ask this squadron for a write up to share with others. 4. Bobbi Shaw, Beaverton PS, addressed the meeting with the following idea, "Retention is a legacy to the squadron." I nice saying, a great idea and worth expanding into a promotional program possibly. I've passed it on the MI group. Last but not least, we have two new members to the committee. I will be posting their data shortly, welcome to our committee: D/C Ron Lukens, AP (D17), Knoxville, TN D/Lt Kay Allen, S (D8), Ft Lauderdale, FL This means I will be working on assignments, again, and will post when completed. More about these two dynamic squadron members later, please join me in welcoming them ABOARD ;-) Bruce From SailPlay@aol.com Mon Mar 11 14:49:47 2002 Received: from imo-r01.mx.aol.com (imo-r01.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.97]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g2BJnlu03308; Mon, 11 Mar 2002 14:49:47 -0500 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-r01.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id g.47.19894312 (16637); Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:47:26 -0500 (EST) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: <47.19894312.29be55be@aol.com> Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:47:26 EST To: memcom@usps.org CC: meminv@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [Memcom] 3 % Growth Award Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Ahoy, Thanks to Earl Rose, the squadrons and districts that were recognized at their fall conference for meeting or exceeding the National Growth of 3% is now on the web. Check it out. I noticed several districts had not a single squadron on the list? As we discussed in our last closed meeting, this year each squadron and district that does have growth, but not 3 %, will get a letter congratulating them and to motivate them to continue their efforts. This way all squadron and district with growth will be recognized. BUT, I'm wondering if there will be ANY? This list will be far shorter this year, unless some heavy duty recruiting and / or retention takes place. We have our jobs cut out for us, that's for sure!

At break time, members answer questions and use hands-on educational aids to assist anyone with a problem. ----------- (Fact) Lots of personal contact has the effect of increasing members recruited from the Public Boating Course. (Read More) In every one of our classes and we're finding that approximately one-third become members. It takes an enthusiastic approach to interest people in joining. The ice breaker is always personal contact. ----------- (Read) A public boating course media blitz is an effective education promotional tool... (Read More) A "media blitz" starting 6 weeks prior to the start of the course that includes daily and weekly paper, TV and radio station is a good place to start. Supplementing this with the addition to posters and pamphlets in every marina, yacht club and marine supply store, libraries, schools and local stores will increase course participation rates. >> In a message dated 03/15/2002 2:51:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, marshburn@greenvillenc.com writes: << If you choose to accept this challenge, the proposed deadline for generating the 10-15 tidbits would be 29 March with the selection of the top 25 by 5 April. >> From SailPlay@aol.com Tue Mar 19 13:22:22 2002 Received: from imo-d06.mx.aol.com (imo-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.38]) by linux20383.dn.net (8.11.6/verio) with ESMTP id g2JIMMu23522 for ; Tue, 19 Mar 2002 13:22:22 -0500 Received: from SailPlay@aol.com by imo-d06.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v32.5.) id g.f3.18149920 (4250) for ; Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:20:31 -0500 (EST) From: SailPlay@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:20:31 EST To: memcom@usps.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 9 Subject: [Memcom] Welcome New Members Sender: memcom-admin@usps.org Errors-To: memcom-admin@usps.org X-BeenThere: memcom@usps.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Let's WELCOME ABOARD two new members to the committee: D/C Ronald H.

Time continues with many things going on. Individual monthly activity reports are due by the 10th of the month and are sent to me. Each committee member is to file a report even if there is nothing to report. Martha sent one this month. Thank you. At least I heard from her. I compile all your reports and send them to Frank McHugh, R/C of our committee. Frank then reports to Ernie regards any matter that should be discussed at a pending OCom meeting. Email works best. My email address is : sailplay@aol.com Conference reports go directly to Frank. When attending a conference please file a report regards membership activities that took place. Questions, ideas, etc. that came up. Remember, we are always looking for great ideas/programs to share nationally. If attending a conference other than your own district, you should first make an inquiry to the D/C to advise them you'd like to attend. Offer any help on behalf of our committee to the D/C to help make the conference a success. Brochures, forms, etc.. All our members are on email and our email list. Remember, the email list address is: memcom@usps.org When you send a message to this address, everyone on the committee receives it, including our department head, V/C Ernie Marshburn. It's a closed list and only members of the committee are members of this list. I handle the administration of the list so I know who is on it. Only members of the list can post emails to it, all others get bounced to me and I then decide if it should be allowed for our group or not. Spring is upon us, Finally! Many conferences, district and squadron change of watches will be taking place. I will be asking HQ staff to compile a new list of district membership chairs sometime in the near future. Possibly early May. This way the list that is on our web site will be current. If you have any questions, my phone number is : 425-348-0739, Cell 253-988-4333, and of course you have my email address as well. We have our work cut out for us, membership numbers are down across the board ytd. But with your help, we can and should make growing USPS FUN.

The format for this is outlined in the attached spreadsheet but basically what we would be looking for is a series of quick tidbits followed by more extensive information. The tidbits should be limited to a short sentence and the additional information should be no longer than a paragraph. Moreover, the “total concept” for the tidbit must be completely described within the additional information, i.e. paragraph. No referencing of other information will be allowed except for the inclusion of a URL. However, the primary objective is to make these tidbits short, stand alone, and self-contained. To help explain the concept, launch the attached Powerpoint presentation and run it. It contains a series of science facts followed by additional information that I cut and pasted together. However, this is an example of what I have in mind. Once the first Powerpoint screen is displayed, you can click on the (read more) button, actually anywhere on the screen, to see the impact of the additional pop-up information. Successive clicks take you thought the other science facts. If your committee is up to this challenge, I would like to ask if each Membership team would be willing to come up with 10-15 membership tidbits + the additional information that is specifically related to their respective teams. The goal would be to collect three sets, each dealing with a subset of your committee, i.e. membership, membership involvement, and youth activities. Collectively, we would then want to merge all team suggestions into a common spreadsheet and then select the top 25. For the moment, I will leave to your imagination how we would propose to use this information but rest assured that the Membership and Member Involvement Committee would have a lot of front page space as a result. If you choose to accept this challenge, the proposed deadline for generating the 10-15 tidbits would be 29 March with the selection of the top 25 by 5 April. I would also request that each of us are cc’d on any submissions to help each of us cut down on duplication of effort should more than one person come up with the same tidbit concept. I would also propose that you, Roberta, Laura, Bruce, and I serve as the Selection Committee (again, assuming that your committee chooses to accept this challenge). This could be a fun project and it may turn out to be the kind of “out-of-the-box” tool that will make a difference where USPS membership is concerned. It would also serve as another way to help us promote and proactively demonstrate that the focus of our administration is “membership”. Ok, enough chatter. The four of you need to put your heads together and determine if your schedules and current projects would permit you to engage in this proposed one. Also, it’s ok if you choose not to accept the mission. Let me know what you think.

Tid Bit: Enthusiam Highlights "FUN MORE The most important thing is making the students in our public classes feel like you are having such a great time with USPS that they will miss out if they don’t join. 2. Tid Bit USPS Save Lives MORE According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a boater without "Safe Boating Education" is 5 times more likely to die on the water. 3. Tid Bit Recruiting is about being "Personal." MORE Squadron’s experience incredibly successful recruiting with the personal contact. 15-20 members attending and helping out at public classes results in many students signing up to join. 4. Tid Bit Media Blitz Equals Squadron Growth MORE Doing a media blitz 6 weeks before a public class attracts students to classes. Large classes adds many safer boaters to local waters. One squadron signed up 50 new members in one year by teaching over 500 students safe boating. -------------------------- How about the rest of the committee's members. Any suggested "Tid Bits?"

I think we should all volunteer for a time at each table. For instance, if you work the membership table on Thursday, you will work the First Timers' table on Fri. OK? We need workers from 0800 to 1700 on Thursday (one or two workers each hour at each table.) Hours on Friday are 0800 to 1600 (one or two workers each hour at each table.)

If you are on the membership recruiting committee and or the Youth activities committee, please volunteer for the membership table. (Those members who have already volunteered disregard this.) If you think I was too curt in soliciting volunteers, my apologies. I find that it is very difficult to recruit volunteers ahead of time for the table and have everything in place when we arrive. If it is done ahead, then we all know our schedules and can plan accordingly.

See Section 22.17 of the operations manual revised 9/23/01 NOTE: The use of "Junior" is for dues category purposes only. "Family Membership" includes both Adult and Junior. Yes, a "Family Member" can earn a "Family Merit Mark." This includes both Adult and Junior Family members as noted above. See Section 16.1 of the operations manual revised 9/23/01.

With the present arrangement, a typical squadron might have to chase after 36 non or late renewals, whereas, if spread out over the course of a whole year, on a monthly basis, the squadron may only have to deal on average, with three members at a time. Of course there are a host of other considerations that would have to be addressed. It will be interesting to hear comments from our committee members.
