To All,

I have been thinking a lot lately, especially now that MichLUG has it's
first year under its belt (And a great year it has been! : ) ) what are
plans directions will be in the near future. I have talked to many of you
here and there about a few things, and I would like some input on the
following areas that I feel we will need to address for our clubs future and
growth:

Ok, I'm all ears.

1) Welcome / Membership pack - Lynn and I have been talking (Especially
during lunch today), and we will be assembling one for each of the new
members that would like to join, and anyone who is in the club now and
wishes to have one.
We would to come up with something that might be a good bonus, we were
discussing perhaps a keychain with the MichLUG and MLTC logo on it, or
perhaps a minifig with a MichLUG / MLTC sticker. Any thoughts or suggestions
are fine, we can discuss this at the meeting. I volunteer to assemble and
pay for all of this, as I feel it is a rather important growth item we will
need. I will outline further items when we are there, such as a welcome
letter, etc.

A Michlug keychain could be kind of neat.  I think without too much trouble I
could get some of these made.  We can talk more about how at the meeting.

2) Outline of a mission statement - I think our website will need to have
several items on it in the coming weeks, especially for newer people. i know
Amy will not be there, but I think we need to have a few essential items:

A) Mission Statement - What we are, and what we do. I think this needs to be
on the front page, where anyone and everyone can see it. I will draft one up
this week and bring it along, and get some input from all of you.

To boldly go where no Lego club has gone before?

B) How to Join - We will need to put this on our website somehow, and maybe
have an e-mail session, I can do that easily, to start this membership stuff.

So are you think of something more than just showing up? Which has been, so
far, the way someone joins in.

3) Final development of Under 18 policy - I know we discussed at length,
both at the meetings and online, but we need to formalize this, and put it
on the website. I will bring my writings on this, and get this done, we need
to do this.

Yes, we do need to discuss this more and set something up.

4) Meeting New People - If we do have new people at upcoming meetings, even
this one, maybe we can have a round of introductions, so everyone meets the
new person and finds out a ltitle about him. (I am not sure how to handle
this exaactly, but I think it is important none the less!)

Yeah, who are you?  Oh wait, your the Michigan Lego User's Group guy from ...
Indiana. Oh well, we won't hold that against you.  :p

5) MLTC - Logo and webpage - What do we want to do? Have the MichLUG and
MTLC logo on the front, different areas, etc.

Hmm, well aside from a couple folks the MichLUG people and and the MichLTC
people are one in the same.  But if we looked at the events we do, then GATS
would be a MichLTC event, and CON-Fusion would be a MichLUG event.  Do we want
different webpages for both?  Right now the need isn't there (IMO), but in the
future it may be.  Should we show forsight and seperate them now?

Anyway, I have been thinking a lot lately about these items, and since we
are in the process of having 2 huge shows in the near future, I feel if we
can get these items done, we will be better prepared for new people and a
new year.

Any thoughts, suggestions, Killing Scott sessions, and the like, can be
directed here or by e-mailing me. Thanks for your time, I wish everyone a
joyous and happy holiday season.

Scott S.
