Club Report--Gazette and Club Products
It is time to do an update of the Club’s activities. I was tempted to do several blog posts in the last week on current events. However, a problem arose: The material was also going to be in the next issue of Strategy Gazette. So let’s start the Club Report there.
The next issue of the Gazette, the first of volume two, set as number 5 (four issues being in volume one), is set for e-publication for April 1, 2007. That is 23 days from now. One article will be an expansion of an earlier blog posting on George Ball and T.E. Lawrence. Unlike the factual errors in that previous post (for which I made a blog apology), this article should attain a higher standard of scholarship. The headline for the article is “The Ghosts of Wisdom.” Two articles are in advanced draft form, one is a speculative future of intellectual copyright and the other is a review of Thomas M.P. Barnett’s sequel to “The Pentagon’s New Map.” The final article, aside from the Strategos Procurator editorial, is about modern intelligence and the politics of Valerie Plame. This issue will also have a new and brief “Club News” section.
On Sat., March 10th, I manned an info-awareness table at Planet Supply. Club Friends Erik B., Dylan F. and Tim M. played as part of an acoustical set for their bandit country band, Out Gallavantin’. It was a good concert. Some people asked questions. I did not sell a shirt or a Pi Kielty book, but a lot of free literature was taken, most of it while I was away from the table, I believe. The info-awareness tables are a big part of our March-April Action Plan.
Also part of our Action Plan includes Public and Media Relations work for Club Friends at the Abandoned Scout Camp studio/label and the band Dorthy Fix. Dorthy Fix, along with two guests, are traveling on a cross country tour from Wisconsin and Minnesota, through North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and possibly California. Jimmie of Dorthy Fix offered in early Feb. to take Club literature to pass out, and books and shirts to sell. This is a great opportunity to market the Club Idea to other communities in the western part of the country. To help Dorthy Fix increase their attendance and record sales on the road, and to perhaps increase the number of people seeing our literature and buying our items, it was realized that the Club could do some helpful PMR. It helps everyone involved. It is sort of a favor for favor way for us to learn new skills and increase our own audience.
Tomorrow, I will be delivering the display box and “The Mad Tales” books to the Curiosity Shop in Osceola. Alysea, an long-time and dear friend, will be selling the books for us. It will hopefully be a successful enterprise for her and for us. The process was also recently begun to do an e-publishing of the book through an established internet publisher/marketer.
Also on the Action Plan list for products, the Club opened a store front at www.cafepress.com/cepiaclub . There are already T-shirt and bumper sticker items on the store for sale. Coffee mugs and more will be added immediately. Cafepress is a great and FREE tool for us. We hope it will be successful. The link is listed on our www.cepiaclub.com/Store.htm page. The Cafepress service is part of our Club Competency to use free internet services.
Well, that is how busy we have been at The Cepia Club.
