I have been coming to this site for a couple of years, hats off to Scott for all his effort and dedication to this site.
I think there is a tremendous opportunity to build on what we have here
by forming local chapters of WC that are part of a larger WC organization. Most clubs are only local and have hard copy newsletters and physical meetings to stay in touch with its members; with WC as the nucleolus we have a 7x24 virtual newsletter and meetings. Couple that with local activities and brother/sister chapters throughout the country, think of the benefits for the users and the impact we could have on fishing management with the states and feds.
A few facts, I recently heard a statistic on CNBC that 60% of Americans have a computer and 56% of those are online. Fishing is the number one sport in the US, more people fish
than any other activity.
Look at other organizations like Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation and
see the things they accomplish by virtue of there size. Imagine the possibilities for fishing!
It is as much about putting something back as having fun. It is also about a new way to
facilitate our goals through an Internet based club. Every member would have the opportunity to participate and vote on club endeavors through virtual meetings.
Your thoughts, please!
Thanks,
Randy
