    The Military Officers Association of Sarasota would like to invite you to attend the Florida Council of Chapter Convention 2013 from 7-9 June at the Hyatt Regency, Sarasota.
     
   We invite you to come and enjoy our hospitality, cultural treasures, and fantastic dining.  Come early and stay longer, the hotel’s rates will remain at our low Convention rate for 2 days before and 2 days after the event. 

Attractions

 We have an amazing treasure trove of attractions. The Ringling Museum, with the Circus Museum’s Tibbals Learning Center having the world's largest miniature circus. The model is a replica of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus from 1919 – 1938. Plus, the Art collection of circus magnate, John Ringling.  In addition to the Ringling, we have the beautiful Selby Botanical Gardens with a myriad of orchids, bromeliads and other beautiful plants.  Take a Bay tour on the Sarasota Bay explorer and learn/see various kinds of plant and animal life.

Breeze, Luncheon, and Conference Info

 Dear Member

The April 2013 issue of the MOAS monthly newsletter The Sarasota Breeze is on our Web site sarasotamoaa.com. 


The luncheon Reservation sheet is attached for you to use when making your reservation for the April Luncheon.  The Luncheon will feature entertainment by the Booker HS Visual Performing Arts musical group The TONADOES --- always a hit, and a very popular luncheon --- So Make your Reservations Early.

I have also enclosed information on the forthcoming Florida Council of Chapters (FCOC) Convention sponsored by MOAS to be held here in Sarasota at the Hyatt Regency on June 7 to 9.  The Breeze contains an article about the convention and the additional enclosure contains the Convention Program for the three days, and a registration form for the Convention events.  

Looking forward to seeing you at the Luncheon on April 19th, and at the Convention on June 7th.

We hope you enjoy the issue, and ask that you let us know if you have any suggestions for future issues.    


Thank you.

Social Media Plan


Social Media Plan 

Military Officers Association of America - Sarasota Chapter

1st Draft


The Web site, the Breeze, and Email are how MOAA Sarasota currently gets out the word.  We have established social media that will augment and enhance our current systems. A primary focus of the system is to initially promote the 2013 Conference and to support the partnership with the Legacy of Valor Campaign begun by the Patterson Foundation. 


The Blog sarasotamoaa.blogspot.com is the location where we will post all information of interest to MOAA members. This will include the articles from the Breeze, communications from National MOAA, other organizations, and notices and communications from the Board.  It is similar to the Web site but has more quick reports and photos. It is much easier and quicker to update than the Web site. It is sequential, with the latest events and reports at the top. It provides links back to the Web Site and The Breeze and our other social media and to the National MOAA social media sites.


The conference blog fcoc2013.blogspot.com will tell people about the upcoming conference. It contains all the information about the conference.






After we make a post on the blog we then post links on all the other systems with links back to the Blogs. We have established MOAA Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ accounts.




Most of the value in Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google+ will be attracting new users to MOAA and interest in the convention.
