Mission

 

Wooden Boat Builder members,

 

Thank you for getting on board with the Wooden Boat Builder Group Site on Multipy. Your involvment is greatly appreciated. This letter is a request for you to participate further.

 

Most of you know that I created this group/community with the notion that On-line Social Networking is an awesome interactive public venue for this topic. As most of the websites currently available on this topic seem to lack focus, I felt it was necesary to create some focus for us.

 

Mission Statement (rough draft):

 

Our mission is to evolve (through time) this web community into the best source on the net for wooden boat building information, links, resources, and comradery. Educate each other and all who desire to further their knowledge and fuel their passion for wooden and classic boats. Introduce, expose, and apprentice the youth in our communities to sustain the craftsmanship and future of wooden boats and boat building. This we do with solice and without expectation of monetary gain. Whether you are a novice, amatuer, or professional, you are welcome here.

 

Personally, it has taken the better part of my life to realize that I have to be messing about with boats in order to remain happy. The most enjoyable times I can remember have allways involved wood and water. It all started in my youth. Further back than my memories can recall. I have a great many stories to tell because woooden boats are in my blood. But enough about me because this web community is about us.

 

I implore you to:

 

1)  Stop in regularly and check your "Inbox" we can communicate with each other in a more timely fashion. Or at least stop in and read the message posts regularly.

 

2) Greet new members so they too can feel at home here.

 

3) Create a Photo album of your own and upload pictures of your boats, projects, future projects, favorite photos to share with others.

 

4) Add comments to your photos and the content of others. Keep in mind that you can create a page in the blog and update it as a progression of sorts. I will create a link for you and your projects. If you allready have a webpage post the link so we can get to know you and your projects. Example: http://yournamehere.multiply.com

 

 

5) Update your profile and phot/avatar so we can "see" who were talking to. You can do that by clicking on the "My Site" button at the top of this webpage. 

Here is my profile: http://kruez17.multiply.com

 

6) Post messages regularly in the "Notes" and/or the "Blog". Start up a conversation. Ask questions of other members. Comment on the content. Tell us your stories. Yes, we probably do want to know. 

 

7) Let me know if you have the time to assist with the administration of this site. "No Experience Necesary". I will update your roll from member to assistant administrator. This would include accepting new members moderating, and blog page creation and management.

 

8) Mentor the youth in wooden boat building in your communities.

 

9) Have fun, enjoy, communicate with other members that share your interest, participate in a scheduled chat session, and of course, build your own boat. Or, finish, fix, or restore, that boat.

 

 

Keep the wood and the water alive...

 

Thank you for your support,
