Weather hampered later day jumping, but Mark Norman took the reigns and created an excellent BBQ for jumpers who stuck it out to the end. The first call to action is develop a membership marketing drive. The group is composed of two communication efforts, The jump IN! Fan Page for video and photo content and and Local’s Email group for direct communication with members. Once a good percentage of the local newbies and willing experienced jumpers join, communication and the like interest of skydiving with each other tends to exponentially grow the club from the inside out.
Right now Skydive Sebastian has an incredible new group of jumpers and a new influx of experience jumpers to tap into as well as a fresh energy provided by the manager, Andrea Roca. Friday is the official meet up day, but as always, members can make any day a Jump IN! day.
In the Next Few weeks the goal is to get enough energy going for the arrival of the North East Club Jump IN! Skydive New England’s arrival. North East Leaders, Brian Touhey, Chris Mabbot and Brandon Aaskov will be bringing close to 20 SNE jumpers to both Skydive Sebastian and ZHills in March 6-11.
