New Concepts and Considerations:
Updated: Jun 22, 2018
The following topics are presented here as discussion points. Input and constructive criticisms are requested.
If any interest develops from any of these topics, I will expand the discussion and provide a means of commenting on-line. If there is little or no apparent interest, I may continue to develop some concepts in isolation and provide occasional reports on any progress.
1. Newsletter/Website (already trying this one, would love input)
Newsletter available on website
Printable to pdf for emailing or printing for snail-mail
Web content viewed in separate sections (Educational, Show & Tell, etc.)
Contiguous discussion threads
Secure Location of confidential information (maps, addresses, phone numbers, etc.)
2. Convention Discussions (open on-going dialogue)
Potential methods of improving/continuing convention(s)
Votes on topics
Convention Updates
Photos of Auction Pieces
Photos of Raffle Prizes
3. Virtual Meeting Attendance
Attend via Skype or Face-time
Send photos of Topic Pieces
Vote on business decisions
More frequently achieve quorum
Less travel (cheaper/safer)
Get US Members to attend
4. Buy & Sell Section (this could help some members find pieces they are looking for or get the best price on a favourite piece)
Connecting buyers and sellers
Limit 1 Piece per member at any one time up to a total of 10 pieces total
All transactions between buyers and sellers only, CCGA is not involved or responsible
5. Outreach Campaign
Reaching out to other clubs around the globe including highlighting a different club timed with the release of each Newsletter
Approaching schools, libraries and social groups about Carnival Glass education
Send out invitations to local schools and clubs for our convention
Create a short You-Tube Video on Carnival Glass and our clubs (all of them!)
Approaching and inviting other collectors to contribute (how about those stretch glass people?)
Any other suggestions?
