Resident Communication Committee Report For The

Board Of Directors Meeting, July 24, 2003

Report by Juli Yale, Chair

Reporting at the Board of Directors meeting will be Chair, Juli Yale

 v     Broadcast: Chair, Marilyn Fletcher reports –June channel changes went smoothly. To clarify the three-channel setup: Channel 50 carries CAM activities and ticket information when no videos are being shown, plus Charlie Mitchell’s “Between the Lines” Wednesdays at 6:00pm show and the Monday through Saturday 10:00am sunrise news readings.  Channel 51 has club activities and Channel 52 is CAM’s bulletin board.  “Make them a habit.”

v     Newcomers Welcome Committee:  Chair, Bea Boockholdt reports - year to date, thru May:

v     Publications:  Chair, Holly Field reports – Revenue with SunSations was more than $10,000 in the month of June.  Communication Manager, Nikki Walsh, receives an average of three calls a day regarding advertising.  Publications Committee has increased in size and are working as a team with Nikki for input and proofing.  We could always use a few more writers to help us keep up the communications we would like to include in SunSations. 

v     Telephone Book:  The phone book addendum will be delivered along with the August SunSations.  Our directory publisher is considering a March rather than April publishing date for the next telephone directory edition.

v     Web Site: – Nikki has met with Steve O’Donnell about updating the delwebblive site but the current system-wide procedures do not permit us to make the changes  desired.  For current Sun City information, many are using Steve Koehl’s “unofficial” web site.  RCC is moving forward with a campaign, suggesting residents change their personal home page to our “unofficial” web site.  This provides a quick reminder to easily review the latest Sun City happenings.  “Keep up to date within the gate.”
