My Goal as CO has slightly changed throughout this year as I learn and become more comfortable with the position I hold. I can’t stress this enough, but we don’t live or operate in the past. We live in the now with Disney/LFL, and with that comes a greater responsibility to be good stewards of the IP (the costumes and characters) that Disney/LFL has entrusted to us. So my goals as CO are not to divide or isolate GGG from other groups, my sole responsibility and focus is the Golden Gate Garrison, and how we can be the best we can be.
My goal has also been to keep our members safe, where it be via new policy changes or even taking a step back from other clubs. The changes made this year are not intended to control, or silence, our membership. We have a growing, active, opinionated membership and I believe it is best for us to take some time and – for me, personally – focus on how we can strengthen all of these many places where we’ve grown (events, membership population, command staff, squads, merchandise team, etc.). Looking after ourselves will be enough of a chore for the rest of this term.
In Fact we are a Social Club (a group of people or the place where they meet, generally formed around a common interest, occupation, or activity). We are not a Social Media Club! I felt members spent too much time interacting via online than getting out to be social. It is extremely hard to learn someone’s personality, humor, etc . over Social Media. My goal in narrowing the communications was to cut down the drama, cut down the misunderstanding, and most importantly to get our membership out trooping and being social. I wish to steer this club back to its core foundation, community based events with a local community of members, and charity-focused events (the “new” foundation of why we are allowed to exist).
In 2017 the GGG had 2 members lead charity teams — Relay for Life and the Out of the Darkness Walk, and with that we had 4 charity base patch designs. In 2018, the GGG had 4 Members lead charity teams — Relay for Life, Walk for Autism, Step up for Down’s Syndrome, and the Out of the Darkness Walk and with those we have 4 more charity base designs. 2019 I will love to see this continue to grow and have more members lead charity-based teams and events we can support. Yes, the patches are fun, but even if we didn’t have the patch designs I can’t be more proud of the GGG’s members for leading these charity-based events.
So, I ask our membership to get out and Troop, to stay Positive, and to look for opportunities to support our Garrison and each other.
Thank You
To answer you Question:
“So how will this effect those who are members of both organizations (GGG & MMCC/WoM)?” or Even Endor Base.
It does not effect your ability to troop with any club at any event that your a member of, This is more on the command staff level with deal sharing events and the disconnect with the different leaderships of the peer clubs.In reply to: Thank You for your Service Coin!! **RUN IS CLOSED**
