<p>But many more are. I use it for my local club Pax Aero.
Many of our members have facebook pages and when I update the
website, I update the facebook page as well. This tells
members the clubs page has been updated and then they go to
the site. It has worked very well in keep members more
informed.</p>
<p>Those who aren't still have the option of going to the
webpage without the notice from Facebook. </p>

Hi Tim, <br>
The idea of requesting a section for the NSRCA has been
suggested before but doesn't seem to go anywhere with the
board. Why? I honestly don't know. In the Information
Technology world, it's all about Social Media now. I created
this and got approval from the board simply to reach out to
all that are out there or may be out there in the future.
Everyone is on Facebook. The page is not meant as a gathering
place but solely to put small tidbits of information out there
at your fingertips. The are more people who read their News
Feed than take the time to go to the NSRCA website by far. If
we post something there and it appears on everyone's News
Feed, that information is more apt to be read. The purpose is
only to get us out to the general public and present
information quickly without someone having to pop on to
another site. Since a lot of people already sit on Facebook,
this is the perfect opportunity for us to get information out
there so people, for example, can't say I didn't know the
deadline for registering for the NATs was June 30. Believe
me, I had that happen with some pretty "happening" folks but I
know they were on Facebook. My comment was it was posted on
the application and certainly on NSRCA's website. The
response was, "I rarely go to the NSRCA website". Yes, the
argument can be made that this is a reason to enhance the
website (which John Gayer and I are pushing for) and the
argument could be made that this is another reason to go to
RCU. All I'm trying to do is increase our visibility and
Facebook is a prime place to do this. This is exactly why
almost ANY business is on Facebook. It's where folks are. <br>

Thanks for the effort Scott, <br>
<br>
However, isn't this exactly what the NSRCA web site is for?
The one with all the info in one place that everyone already
uses to some degree. Actually I've been disappointed in the
usage on the Nsrca site and find far more usefull info on RCU.
The Nsrca web site can go months between posts. Contest
results are the best, love that feature. <br>
<br>
So now we have to place the same info in several different
places. <br>
<br>
RCU seems to be the biggest place that NSRCA/Pattern fliers
hang out, would it be smarter to use that as the nesting
place? <br>
<br>
Might we ask for a Forum for NSRCA? would that be a good idea?
<br>
<br>
Why must we reinvent the wheel again? <br>

Good Morning, <br>
For those of you on Facebook, the NSRCA has created a
Facebook page for our group that will list any information
that we have to distribute and we can also post contest
results, upcoming contests and anything that makes sense to
put on this page pertaining to pattern. We are excited about
this opportunity to hopefully reach out and touch more
individuals. You can find the link to our Facebook page on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.nsrca.us"
target="_blank">www.nsrca.us</a> on the right side under the
Kfactor stuff. If you click on the "Like" button, information
posted on our site will be visible each time on your "News
feed" of Facebook. <br>
If you have information that you would like to put out
there, please send it directly to me and I will post this
information immediately. Look at us going into the 21st
century! :) <br>
<br>
Warmest Regards, <br>
Scott <br>
