Communications Committee
Avery Sloan, Committee Chairman
Hello, and thanks for your interest in our Communications Committee. According the our association by-laws, this committee is responsible for publishing the newsletter, managing the web site, and maintaining our telephone Hotline.
It has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience serving as your Webmaster. Our former Treasurer, Cass Moret, created our first web page while also serving as Treasurer, and was instrumental in my joining the association and taking on the Webmaster's duties. Recently, I was asked to head the Communications Committee and to edit the newsletter. As chairman, I work with the board of directors to achieve a cohesive and coordinated communications effort.
Newsletter & Web Page
In 2008, our web page and this newsletter were redesigned and branded as The Broadmoor Breeze. Both were well received and continue to be very popular with our members and residents of Baton Rouge. We had 9,164 individual visitors to the web site who looked at 27,060 pages. Our newsletter was published in February, June and November last year and will return to our regular schedule of four issues this year and will be mailed to approximately 2100 recipients. View recent and older PDF versions of the newsletter here.
A new page has been added to our web site for Neighborhood Watch in the Security Section, and will be expanded as this important new program moves along. I encourage you to join NW and to visit our new page often.
This table illustrates the number of visitors (Visits) to our site and the number of pages (Pages) viewed. It is updated monthly. The latest month's numbers are usually for a partial month.

Hotline Number 926-9829
Recently, changes were made to our telephone Hotline 926-9829 that include new features and additional voice mailboxes to make it easier for us to respond to your phone messages. The Hotline number is the same, but you'll hear a new recording with the option of hearing several other messages from our Committee Chairpersons, or you can leave a message. The new service costs a lot less and hopefully will be utilized more as we promote the number and expand the information that is available to callers.
Advertising
Advertising is an important part of our overall communications program and Advertising Committee Chairman John Perkins is to be congratulated again for his outstanding efforts in signing advertisers, many of whom are with us for a third year in 2009. If you would like to advertise in our newsletter or know of others who may be interested, please visit broadmoor-br.org and the Advertising Committee page for specifics. All newsletter advertisers are automatically included in our web site at no additional charge.
All revenues from advertising go to defray printing and mailing costs for the newsletter.
