Changes Afloat at Bay Soundings!

Like nearly every organization in Florida, Bay Soundings has been impacted by the difficult economy. Budgets at one major funding source have been cut and we all need to do more with less money.

Two major changes will occur in 2012:

• First, we'll make sure everyone who receives a copy of Bay Soundings in the mail wants it. You must call, write or email us to let us know that you want to receive an individually mailed copy. If we don't hear from you, your name will be removed from our mailing list.
• We're also cutting back on the number of issues we print this coming year. Instead of publishing as a quarterly, we'll print three issues 2012. We hope this is a temporary change but we're all waiting to see what happens with the economy.

At the same time, we're working to reach beyond our traditional audience. We've expanded our on-line presence as well as working to set up additional distribution sites for our print publication. Web readers have noticed that we now have "Tell a friend" links on every page that make it easy to spread the news via email, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. New distribution points are still being finalized but the goal is to have the most recent edition of Bay Soundings available in places like doctors' and dentists' offices, select auto repair locations and restaurants. Please let us know if your workplace could be a distribution point.

As always, we welcome your input on the changes. Please contact us at editor@baysoundings.com or call 813-689-2616.
