[Accrs] ACCRS Public Info Facebook Page

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Glad to see this idea is getting so much positive feedback!

Larry, regarding who would be in control, I was thinking myself (since I am on Facebook regularly and know how to use these pages) and Marc could moderate it and if anyone else is on Facebook regularly who should be moderating the page, Marc and I can easily allow them admin access.

And yes, the idea would be to make the page fun with photos and videos of the layouts during our ops sessions and events, posts regarding upcoming events, etc.

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.

>> So this is mostly for the O scalers as I’ve been talking about it a lot with HO already. 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.
>> Most every business or group these days makes use of FB/social media to speak to potential clients, members, etc. In my opinion, we also could use an updated website as well. 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.
