OMVA on Facebook
I am looking for input as far as hosting a Group on Facebook.
Some members have indicated wanting a website, which is NOT going to happen. We have use of MLU to post announcements etc but if we chose to have a closed FB group it would offer another avenue of communications between Members and not cost us anything. I look forward to your comments. Chris

Will do Peter
I actually received the idea from another collector type who was asking me about our organization and how to join in/up and where to go to look. Did we have a web page? I explained the many reasons why our web page has never been successful and he suggested using FB as an avenue.

FB is the way to go
FB is a quick and easy way to publicize event outside of MLU. People often post digital photo albums of snaps they've taken at events, and their wider circles of friends get to see what happens.

Facebook
We set up two pages on facebook. one as the official with only mods able to post new stuff and then open for comments. Group set up I think. the other open friend type that anybody can friend and post on. Easy to use maintain etc.
Our website is now more or less a permanent fixture that refers you to facebook for current info.

I have secured the Ontario Military Vehicle Association as a group on FB.
Need some time to get organized but if Members want to join in look us up and request to be added. Chris

I think facebook is a great idea Chris. The more exposure a group gets the more members it can pull in.
Our MV club here has a FB page that gets posts every day and draws people to the group. That said the group has to have a good page manager that can keep the page active. Without the member that manages our page we wouldn't get as many hits as we do pushing the groups page out to more people. Any movement forward with using paypal to pay for membership? It has become most difficult to obtain the international money orders in the states.
