- Mission/Goals for 2021
- Keep Funston a fun, safe, friendly place to fly
- No "Old Funston" - no room for bullying, harassment, aggression, etc - Tracy helped to shift this, and we want to keep it that way
- Build our community with events, communications, training to engage existing, retired, and new/future pilots = grow the sport!
- Priority to create a site intro video (Jess to lead)
- Communications
- Responding to inbound requests/complaints/issues: board is doing really well on this so far
- Discuss response privately amongst board members
- Agree on communication point person and message contents (get sign-off before sending)
- Maintain a single point of contact for issues/threads
- Facebook/Social Media
- Opportunity to engage our community more here, consolidate Fellow Feathers to a single page
- Jess to contact owner of the unofficial FF fb page to try to close it down (Rob, can you send the best contact info for Chris Ellis?)
- Jess to contact Joey to transition admin privileges of "official" page to current board (currently admin'd by Joey and Tom Rust)
- Agreed that admin privileges should transition each year with new Fellow Feathers board
- Use FB page to promote events, club meetings, general club communications
- Hopefully increase attendance at monthly club meetings
- SFGATE article: Jess had initial call with reporter, she will follow up with Steve for an interview. She's hoping to publish Wednesday 12/23 - focus on history of the site, how it's been flying through COVID (we should think about anything we might want to promote: how to start flying, where to learn more, join our FB page for updates, etc)
- Logos, stickers, t-shirts, to be discussed at a future meeting
- Events: Have fun, connect and build our community!
- BBQ + Spot Landing Day - April
- Check COVID restrictions on gatherings in January; begin planning/promoting in early February (Jess/Steve)

- Write outline of content to include - Jess

- Write script for voice over, collect feedback - Jess
