LJ Summer Picnic

Martin: Do we have your permission to use a lumberJock logo on business cards

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Yes, Karson.

We want to prepare nice LJ.com cards that you can print as well as personalized ones.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Martin_Sojka/1357216976

I like that idea Karson. Thanks Martin.

Are you up late, or early Martin?

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

Great idea…..

One card format should read across the bottom..

“Proud member of Lumberjocks.com . Where you can see our work and read of our commitment to quality” or something like that.

If the active members here each take the time to post a few flyers or cards at local lumber yards and hand out a few cards we should be able to drive membership considerably.

We could do some stealth marketing as well. How many of us have posted info about LJ on other forums we belong too. I used to go to some of the other forums…rare these days…but it would be a good way of getting the word out. Related forums as well. Like craigslist etc.., the announcement of the garden project woodworking challenge would be something that folks on many of the gardening sites…that also happen to be woodworkers…like me…would be interested in.

That’ll be great…then the pages in Pulse will scroll by every 10 minutes and we’ll miss everything! Just when I get happy in a small town, they go and build a Walmart. Hrmph.

LOL….I understand your concern Mot…just trying to help Martin become the next internet billionare…hehe. Pretty soon it will be…google.lumberjocks.com.

-- Bob, Carver Massachusetts, Sawdust Maker http://www.capecodbaychallenge.org

I hope Martin cuts us in on those internet billions…c’mon..just a few hundred shares…hahaha

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

LOL.. now I can see myself clearly as the next billionare in the future

Tom, we will have something like guilds/groups to allow for more focused discussions.. These will help your pulse too – heart one as well ;)

Lets “get er done” jockmike

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

As a teacher I have worked in very small schools and very large schools…the sense of community is very different…but it is up to us to keep the small sense of community while the site grows. There are ways to do it…mostly it is about our continuing the positive spirit…that is why I keep coming back each day (not to mention where debbie was this morning)...a growing community is a changing community…but with effort it can all be positive…

For my picnic—-I have to be in my back yard…since I just finished my picnic table…and I aint lugging it to the park….nor would I feel right about having my LJ Day Picnic on another picnic table!!!

Have a great day…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...142 days to sanity...

so who are you inviting to your backyard?? :)

I totally agree re: big school/small school.
So far, LumberJocks has doubled in size (and more) since I first joined, and the sense of community that we have has remained strong.

Way to go LJs :) :) :)
