Promotion-Membership Committee

Good Morning Friends:
Around the time of our Crusaders Hockey Game and Dinner meeting this past January, Lawrence Zalasky came to me wondering how we could promote our club to the Sherwood Park community since we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary this coming October. Since then, Allan Bleiken became involved with his expertise and he looked into submitting an article to our local paper, the Sherwood Park News and there were a few obstacles. Some time ago Allan developed a promotional pamphlet for our club. Although the pamphlet needs updating it would be excellent in the promotion of our club and in attracting new members. I took this idea of a Promotion-Membership Committee to the Board of the Club and it was subsequently approved. As I am sure you are aware our club is not getting younger; in fact our average age is 77.8 years. I am over the average age but have realized if we want our club to continue, we must promote and attract members who are younger than ourselves; therefore the need for this committee.
Since approval, the following members have been asked and committed their involvement in the committee; Allan Bleiken, Lawrence Zalasky, Sid Slade, Bernie Kropp and myself. We will be meeting over the next while to organize ourselves on the committee and develop a plan going forward to make this a continuing club committee that promotes our club in the community and attracts new members.
Yours in Gyro Friendship,
Don
