What Social Media and Share communication options does GGL have in place and how do you join them?We live in an ever-growing world of options for mass communication and there is often a negative reaction to the amount of information we see from all the sources in our daily lives. The understandable tendency by many is to be overwhelmed by those options and see them as "white noise” without a clear focus. Over time, the chapter communication options may have fallen into the later category for some brothers. In the coming weeks, we have formed a chapter committee to try to address those concerns with some specific measures. One item that became clear from our August Chapter Meeting was that many brothers don’t realize or have forgotten the number of options we have available to brothers to hear about GGL events and activities. So as a first step, we are starting a series of messages to GGL Members about our communication options. Our hope is this will help increase our chapter's "common knowledge" for Brothers to start to hear, and eventually manage, their own communications for the chapter.
Please use this information to inform other brothers about the options we have and invite them "into the house" to hear about our events and efforts.
Here is August’s Question:
