[Accrs] ACCRS Public Info Facebook Page

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Jamie,

Excellent idea and I like the photos of the inside of the club showing 
visitors, etc.   That gives people the feeling they are welcome to the 
club.  Us older people are not as prone to use social media, but a page 
that this that is closed and we control will certainly open up the club 
to advertising to more of the public.   Should work well.   Very similar 
to a page of a fishing club I belong to that built a similar presentation.

I've been bringing up the idea of having a page on Facebook for our club and wanted to get some opinions from the O Scale side. A public FB business page would be a great PR tool for the club.  It would be helpful in recruiting new members and publicizing our club.  The intent would be to make it easy for others to see what we are doing and become interested. It would be used to publicize our shows, ops sessions, etc. The public can message us directly through the Facebook page if they are interested in joining and coming down to see our ops sessions and also check out photos and videos of the layouts.

These are zero cost ways to advertise our club and potentially gain new members for both O and HO Scale for Goodguys, the fair, etc.
