As my earlier posted stated, as Chairperson of the SSA Publicity
Committee, I have the project under way now. I am preparing two of
the "hockey rink" shaped CDs. One Cd is a SSA Media Kit and the other
is The Soaring Publicity Handbook. (One for members to give the media
and one to assist members.) There is no replacement for a smiling
person .But we need to put the materials, including photos that can
instantly be used, in the hands of the media. There is currently no
way to do all we need to do from the web site as it is set up. The CDs
will be available at the convention and after that, at the SSA office.

How about some of you volunteering to make contributions to this
project? It would be even more fun than chatting on this group site
and will actually accomplish something worth doing.

Great idea. Could this be placed on one inexpensive disc we could give
to people who take a glider ride?

I think a giveaway CD or DVD has great potential for promoting
soaring.
The SSA promotion committee has been thinking of something like this.
I don't think it would take much 'demand' to get it done.

How about one of those business card sized, "hockey rink" shaped CD's
that can be carried in a wallet? *There's about 50MB of space on
them. *In volume they cost around $.50. *The digital media content
could be universal with local contact information printed on the disk
label.

However, realistically, no piece of hard plastic is going to sell
soaring as effectively as a warm, friendly person talking about their
enthusiasm for the sport. *We still have to talk to people when they
visit our operations.
