Dear Lafarians...
The LAFA web site can only be as good as
the input and feedback that I get from members. Before I started work
on this site, I knew next to nothing about web site creation. It has been a
slow and often tedious learning experience so far yet there is still a lot
of ground to cover. This is very much a "work in progress". With
member help, I believe the end result will be something that LAFA can take
pride in,
and that will serve as a useful tool to organize and promote LAFA events.
I'm sure the quantity of bugs in the
site exceed the number of areas that work properly, so if you notice
anything that doesn't work (dead links, typos, errors, screwy formatting, etc...),
please tell me!
Check
your personal information in the Address Book
section and let me know if there are any mistakes or omissions. If you
need the password to enter this "Member's Only" section, send me an email or
give me a call. I've pass worded it in order to protect members from
solicitors and spammers. If there is any information in the members
section about yourself that you don't even want the other members to see,
tell me and I will remove it.
Although I would like to be present
for all club events, life has a tendency of getting in the way of the
really important things (like flying). I would therefore
appreciate help from members to document and photograph the events
that take place. If you have a camera (preferably a digital one), take
it with you to LAFA functions then email pictures (with captions) to
pilot@lafa.com. If everybody helps out, we'll be able to keep
an on-line picture scrapbook of club events for posterity.
I need old
newsletters... Take a
look at the ones on-line.
These are the only ones I've been able to get hold of so far. If you
have any older ones, let me borrow them. You will get your copy back
after I've scanned it.
If you have any good photos of
past events, send them to me and I'll add them to the ones already in
the
Photos & Events
section. You can either email them to me, or give me prints for scanning.
Prints will be returned. (Be sure to tell me what event they correspond to
and include captions with names and explanations where possible).
I'm working on a
Member Profile
section that will include data about each member. It will basically be
a "personal web site" within LAFA's site where each member will be
able to say something about their planes, about their building and flying
experiences, about themselves personally, their businesses (in case other
members may want to contract them), other hobbies, etc... For this,
please complete the questionnaire in the
Member Profile section and send it
to me together with a photo of yourself and your plane if you have one (if
not, don't worry - we cab add that later).
Finally... I'm an equal opportunity
offender, so if you feel I've offended anybody else more than I've offended you, let me know so that I may rectify the situation.
Happy flying!
