Happy to serve

From: CDR R.G.Scully, N 772-252-9740 scullybg@comcast.net

Subj: Chair D8 100 Year Anniversary Ad Hoc Planning

Reference: Your email dated Sep 09/26/12 11:47 AM, same subject

Dear Cdr,

Thanks for the email. I will be happy to serve and trust I will get much help from all the Commanders and many others who will support this significant event. Here are a few things that have been done to promote the cause.

· Sail Angle - D8 100 Year Anni Ad Hoc Planning (this is in the approval cycle)

· Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/100YearAnniversaryUspsD8AdHocPlanning

· Blog - http://district8planning.blogspot.com/

Communication - I propose we all do what is easiest for the individual. There are many ways to deal with this. Most of us have the D8 Directory so we should be able to pull phone numbers and email addresses from there.

Video Conference - Had also thought that we could experiment with SKYPE and conference calling. I know a little about Skype and have an account. In this case those who choose to participate here will also need a Skype acct. It is free but you do need to go thru a process to get it.

Things to Ponder – Most details are posted on the blog. Ideas that have surfaced so far include the following in no particular order:

1. Sea Cruise - A D8 Weekend Sea Cruise aboard a ship out of Ft Lauderdale or some other location in Florida.

a. As we heard during the conference District 21 will be going on a sea cruise sometime in Oct. and PC Gary Ferguson, JN may be joining them to see how it goes.

b. Cdr J. E. Goebel, SN mentioned the fund raising Eastern Caribbean Sea Cruise (January 27) they are doing for St Lucie River Squadron.

c. Vero Beach has a few cruises (Bermuda departs 12/1/12 and Southern Caribbean departs 4/13/13) that are coming up coordinated by Indian River Travel, Barbara Chadwick.

2. Raft up –

3. Bridge Walk –

4. Flash Mob-

I think this is a GREAT idea. Behind Old Port Cove would be a perfect place that alows for HIGH visibility, safe water, huge area, and good potential for press coverage. Rick

Ideas about 100 years - scully

Jack,

Had another idea that came to me last night in a dream. I saw lots of USPS Members at the USPS Annual mtg wearing red, white and blue Polo shirts with the 100 year logo on the breast pocket http://www.shopusps.org/product1156.html , http://www.shopusps.org/product1150.html and http://www.shopusps.org/product1247.html. Currently you can order these thru USPS store. At some point the current commanders will leave office and I suggest they consider, as a gift to the outgoing bridge, a 100 year anniversary shirt ordered thru USPS stores. As D8 Cdr you could promote this at the upcoming Fall council mtg.

Maybe USPS Marketing could create a unique red/white and blue shirt just for the 100 year and sell it thru the store (see attached doyle D8 creation). Maybe red sleeves, white body with a blue collar and the 100 year logo on the back of the shirt. Promote and sell it at cost plus a few at the upcoming National Meeting and on line prior to meeting. Then raise the price on-line after the National mtg.

Regards,

Bob

Jack,

Thanks! Here is my input. I was thinking we, D8, should consider having a big raft-up, with all the squadrons involved, during Safe Boating Week. Another idea, is a D8 Flash Mob, somewhere in Florida, which would include music and PFD's. How about on day 100 of 2013 we (all D8 Squadrons) go hang a rather large sign over a bridge that says Safe Boating Week ( see page 7 of PRO manual) and Happy 100^th Anniversary USPS.

D8 Cdrs Message

Dear D8 Planning Committee:

As I am sure you are award, USPS will be celebrating our 100^th Anniversary during 2013 and 2014.

http://www.theensign.org/graphics/100annivcolorlogo.jpg

The Flag and Etiquette Committee has approved a special ensign to be used for the 100th anniversary. It may only be flown from 2013-2014, and then it will be retired. We hope all our members will fly the 100^th Anniversary ensign proudly and as often as possible during 2013 and 2014.

As part of a 100 year old organization, I have requested all squadrons in District 8 to plan events and activities during 2013 to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of our beloved organization.

I would like the D8 Planning Committee to present some ideas to the District 8 Bridge for events and/or activities D8 can organize during 2013 to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of USPS.

USPS is will be kicking off the 100^th Anniversary celebration at the Annual Meeting in Jacksonville 13 -20 January and I would like to have some ideas by then to present to National how D8 is planning to celebrate the 100^thAnniversary.

Looking forward to some great ideas we can use to celebrate the 100^th Anniversary of USPS.

Let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist in anyway.

Talk with you soon.
