Board update Aug 1, 2013

Hi all
Just so you don’t think we’ve forgotten about you I provide this short update.  You’ll see another in about two weeks when Suzie has promised to have all the schedule for the Annual Meeting Weekend finalized.  Do you believe her?
Annual Meeting Weekend:
This should be on your calendars by now, but if not, write in Friday Sept 20-Sunday Sept 22 at Bethel.  That will be reminder enough for now.
Website Redesign:
Some of you understand and utilize the tools technology bring us more than others.  Regardless of how you feel about it, information (read computers, web, tech) in the 21st century is fast becoming what automobiles/transportation were in the 20th.
The club initiated it’s first website just three years ago.  Since that time we have backed up all our history, provided a communication link, an information source and even a repository of activities, past and present.  Pictures and the “feeling” of the club is displayed for all to see on the site.  The domain www.primetimeskiclub.com was protected and now is held for our use.  Finally, many of our newer members have found us, not due to word or mouth, but thru the website and it’s link with Sunday River.
Times have changed since our launch in 2010.  We have been provided a great opportunity to update our website design and communications to you through a professional website design agency, High Road Marketing www.HighRoadmc.com.  Our members Denny Santoro and Helen Granger (they’re the ones who look to be about 40ish, not 50ish) run High Road and will work with me and the board on a new, easier to use, more informational platform.  Our upgrade goals are simple:
1. A mobile (smart phone) access platform with upgrades for members using on/off mountain
2. Better, easier to access information and use of website for current members
3. Database organization of members information providing security and easier/faster communications
4. More exciting and better information for new members understanding of the club.
This will take time and will be done in phases.  We expect phase one of the new design completed and transferred (up and running) by mid-September.  Your opinions will be elicited at startup, when there’s something to see, however if you now have any specific improvement recommendations now, send them in to me and we’ll put them into the blender.
See you in September.
Jeff
