Happy New Year to all members. Quite some time ago I sent out some emails asking for help/advice and for volunteers maintaining a Facebook page, blog or static webpages for the Society or any other ideas. Since the new officers are in their official function now, I am again asking for help and volunteers so we can promote and develop PCES into an even better and more active society. I have received responses showing the benefits and fear of FaceBook and the possibility of developing a blog on our FaceBook page (if this is possible--(I am a noviate when talking about FaceBook). Any ideas what else would help and how to further pursue a blog, if this would be utilized? I also need volunteers to help decide what route(s) to take and where to go from here.

We need to find someone for that asap. I am pleased that John Dooley is the SMO committee chair and Steve Lew will join us as the new Recording Secretary. Both the publication committee and social media and outreach committee need members. The Chairs should look for those. I am going to try and put people and committees in contact with each other to help organize communication. I think we can have more fun, do more things with less effort if we are a little better at communicating. Here is the list: President Kipling W. Will President-elect ??
