To bring Ken, Bill and Steve up to date,we are marketing the April Vokey class with fliers which we can print out. Any one should be able to print these out and drop them off at their local fly shop or organization. Justin is in discussion with another organization to take half the spots and travel costs for April.
Justin has developed a marketing packet to be presented to potential advertisers describing our demographics and readership numbers.Revenue flow for the site will be a major priority for us as we can tackle little without it. We also are going to take action on the spread sheet for the Black fly fishing list. Justin has suggested that we break it into segments and solicit help from the membership. I personally have procrastinated on this and am part of the reason it has not gotten done in a timely manner. Its an important and necessary starting point for developing revenue.
Justin has enlisted the assistence of a professional web developer to make the site easier to negotiate and provide improvements.
The TPO store is still in the works and will be turned on in the near future.The concept being worked on is to have two separate independant store entities with one providing access to Davy Wotton fly packages, tying materials,beads,DVD tutorials, etc. A mini, user friendly Davy outlet so to speak. The other will be for TPO's revenue stream. Products yet to be identified. The potential here may take a while to impliment but Davy can get his end going fairly quickly.

Also TPO tee shirts are in the works. The screening start up costs have been donated. The shirts are good quality, USA made cotton. The designs are in the TPO design vault and it is just a matter of picking ou what we want. If we order 12 it will be 15 bucks a shirt. If the order is 50 then it will be 12 buicks a shirt. After the screens are made and we want to reorder, it will be a 14 dollar start up plus the shirt quantity cost. Justin has recomended that we get orders and pre payment plus shipping so we don't get stuck with a bunch of shirts. This will not be a money maker for the site but rather an opportunity to display TPO pride by the membership.
Lastly, I will be involved with organizing the TPO barbeque gathering which will take place in the coming months. I am in the process of putting together a basic concept and will keep everyone on board as we develop a plan.
