Presented by: Rene’ Naughton Pilot Club of St. Augustine Pilot Clubs Can“Go Green” (A LITTLE AT A TIME)
DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE PILOT CLUB OF ST. AUGUSTINE • 18 Active Members • 5 retired; 3 under the age of 50 • 3 have no computer • 6 E-Pilots • 3 come when work allows • 2 come to every meeting • 1 lives out of town (former member) • 6 Emeritus Members • 6 have no computer • 4 live in Nursing Homes • 2 have ill health
With this information, we brain stormed the question: HOW CAN WE GO GREEN AND WHY?
THE WHY • It’s good for the planet • It will save the club money THE HOW • Take a close look at each committee • Support those “not-so-tech-savy” Pilots
LAST YEAR • Executive Board (10 members) • Agenda, Minutes & Treasurer’s Report (printed 30 copies) • Meeting’s Agenda (printed18 copies) • Treasurer’s Report (printed18 copies) • Secretary’s Minutes (printed18 copies) • El Piloto---4 color pages (printed 30 copies) • COST: $45.00 • We were nickel & diming members to death. Ink was a line item in our budget
THIS YEAR • Executive Board (only printed 2 copies, down 8) • Agendas, Minutes, & Treasurer’s Reports (only printed 2 copies, down 24) • Meeting Agenda’s (only printed 1 per table, down 15) • Treasurer’s Report (only printed 1 per table, down 15) • Secretary’s Minutes (only printed 1 per table, down 15) • El Piloto---4 color pages (only printed 14 copies, down 16, that’s 64 color pages!!!) • COST: $12.60
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE • Send all the above information through email 2 days before the meeting. • Savings = $32.40 each meeting. $45.00 (last year) -12.60 (this year)= BIG SAVINGS • Savings = $388.80 $32.40 (each meeting) X 12 (meetings) = HUGE SAVINGS • Members have enjoyed seeing the reports early, meetings have gone faster, and the topic being discussed bring members to meetings.
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE • Had donated 4 jump drives for the President, President-Elect, Secretary, & Treasurer. These store all records and important documents in case it is needed at a meeting. Instant Access! • Treasurer will receive her own laptop. Instant Access and Less files to store! • Secretary will receive her own laptop. (She is using her own laptop now.) Useful for reviewing previous minutes.
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE • Added a Technology Committee and have technology tips every meeting. • All members who have a computer are on constant contact. • Pass on all information, newsletters, etc. to all members which has increased communication within the club. • We now have more money for program meetings and socials. • Going Green brought in 3 prospective members.
