At our May Board meeting there was some discussion about a FaceBook group page called PPYC. The group has 260 members, and the description in its About section begins with “Members of Percy Priest Yacht Club — All current PPYC members in good standing and those entering into our Learning At The Helm (LATH) program are welcome and encouraged to join.” The result of that discussion was a suggestion that we make this group an integral part of our overall processes for communicating with our members. To that end, I became one of four Administrators of the group, and around mid-May I began integrating it into our communication channels. A first step in that direction was to begin making a brief post each week when our Newsletter has been published, providing a link to it within the post.
We’ve also begun to include references to the PPYC FaceBook group in our emails and web pages and references to our emails and web pages in posts to the Facebook group’s page. Back in May, I did an introductory post to the group page indicating that we want to incorporate this group into our overall process for communicating with our members and the public, mentioning what kinds of things we’ll be posting there and what kinds of things we’d like to see others post — and perhaps most importantly, asking for suggestions.
By the way, you may not have noticed it, but at the top right of the header on all of our web pages [near where you click to log in or to access your profile if you’re already logged in,] there has for quite some time been a FaceBook link that will take you to the PPYC group page. There are other Social Media links there as well, and over time we may also integrate them more closely into our communication processes..
Don’t forget to check the Coronavirus Updates page regularly for the latest information on how that plan relates specifically to PPYC [Link below.]
Please Note. We’ve added a special Coronavirus Updates page to the Member Resources section. We will post the most current PPYC-specific information we have about the Coronavirus situation there. You can access it through the Member Resources Menu, by clicking the link in the top banner on this page, or by clicking here: Coronavirus Updates
