When I was a director, the newsletter contained a list of all new Ercoupe owners with a little note saying they should be contacted. I've registered three Ercoupes in the last four years and have never had a solicitation to join. There's one problem, what's the solution?
Should things remain the same? Marketing would be the first thing brought up to snuff if I were steering the craft!

But how do we get the word out to people that don't know about this forum? I stumbled on it by accident. If we still had the wing news letter or the meetings, I might have known sooner. See it's very true, we had a very good wing leader here and when he stepped down that was the end. That was a big part but at one time there was 8 coupes on our field, now there is only mine. There must be a way to let members and non-members know about this? Is there some way for the wings to get in touch with them and let them know and get them involed. And yes I did do something on Friday, I e-maild Syd and volunteered to help out at the 08 fly-in.

It is absolutely possible that the club is completely fulfilling it's mission and meeting all of its goals! If that is so, and the club is not meeting the needs of the membership, then; maybe we need to change our mission. It is not unheard of. Successful organizations modify their Mission Statements as times and needs change. Imagine, if you will, a modern fire department with items mentioned in it's mission statement concerning fresh hay for the horses and no mention of hazardous materials or emergency medical services. > > > > Could it be that we, the EOC, are still looking to provide fresh hay?
