THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.....


For those of you who do not know me...I am the CTA President. Ive been in the process these last few months taking over the CTA and making some new plans. Ive heard from a lot of you and been very happy to share some of your ideas and hear your thoughts, needs and concerns.

I am posting this because I would like to hear some of your thoughts on the CTA, what you would like to see it accomplish, new ideas for things for the CTA to focus on....ETC.

So this is your chance. At a time when we are deciding the new directions of the first few years of the CTA this is your chance to step up and take part in helping us, help you.

We are going to be making A LOT of announcements over the course of the next few weeks and we are expecting the kick-off of the new website within three weeks. So the countdown is going and we are SUPER EXCITED.

Let hear what you have to say....or simply just tell us who you are!! Right here, right now.

God bless!!

Jayme

Jayme,
 Congratulations upon taking the mantle of President of the CTA. I'll be praying for you as you undertake this awesome responsibility.
 Also, will the new website have chat capabilities? It would be great to have the opportunity to carry on conversations with our brothers and sisters in Christ who also share a love of tattooing. Just a thought.

In Christ,
Bob "tatman64" Bolin

        I am looking forward to a long term membership with the CTA because, I have FULL TIME membership with our Lord! And we all have that given to us out of love. I feel that there are, many great things to be accomplished from the CTA. Our shop is here to help and we are looking forward to getting to know, learn and meet others from here.
         Thanks and Hope all have a Great Holiday This year!

Hey Jayme, Thanks for your service to the LORD as well as the CTA. Thanks for the oppurtunity to share our imput, I'll try to keep it breif.

I'm sure I speak for the majority involved with this site when I say that the artkork on our bodies is in one form or another a type of worship and witness to our LORD. I am always looking for ways to share Christ with those who cross my path. I find myself in situations where it would be great to have a business card with the CTA logo to hand out to those intrested in my body art. The card could direct people to the web adress and could have a blank line on the back for my name. Sometimes it's a little embarrassing taking my shirt off for the checkout lady at the supermarket!!

Speaking of shirts(you know what I mean).

Thanks for all your hard work, your service is truly a blessing.

Lowell

Re: THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.....


Ok...I will approach one at a time so far.


TATMAN...

We are moving in several facets with the new website. What we have done already has cost us a substantial amount of money but at this point will not have chat capabilities. We are planning on moving onto a much more complex site over the next year but that will depend mainly on donations. The CTA is a not-for-profit donation based organization. So if people are willing to help out...there is no limit to what we can accomplish. I am putting a lot of my own money in so far and I am going to the matt with lots of other resources to gain money to help us grow.

Chat is in the near future...actually, we are planning on havine it a lot like myspace. Probably not quite that complex but same idea.

LOWELL....I will take this idea to the board at our next meeting. I think it could be a great idea and will let you know what the results are.

WHATCHOOSAY...did I get that right??

Anyway...At this point we are not moving towards our own server. It has been discussed and in being put into motion at the appropriate time but I will keep that in mind.

As for articles about Tattooing....we are going to expland this message board quite a bit once the site is up and will have a place for many, many different ideas. Once we get the full version (by that I mean the expanded with all additions) of the website live....it will include so much, I dont think anyone is going to be left unsatisfied. BUT having said that...I go back to my original point....the CTA is a "donation based" organization. We can only do what we can raise money to do. I am in the process right now of putting final touches on the 2007 budget, which will be posted on the website. It is also our goal to post the 2008 budget by May 2007....so everyone can do all in their power to promote, donate and help us raise funds for our plans in 2008. Which include 22 conventions, 4 festivals and possibly a CTA hosted convention (still in the discussion stage).

Well....thanks so much for your questions, your support, involvement and ideas!! I deeply appreicate them!

See ya when the new site goes live!!

Jayme

Jayme, you mentioned donations about 4 times in the thread. I've been SCREAMING for gift stuff and what nots for a year. T-shirts (long and short), tank tops, patches, mugs, bandanas, etc... all for a "donation" since you are non profit, It has to be for a donation. good t's and that other stuff isnt that expensive and the net profit is good. keep the prices reasonable for everyone and the cta will make a good return too

So, hypothetically speakingemoticon , say one wants to contribute to the cause. Where or how would these monies be sent? And also, Say one wants to purchase some CTA gear (hats, shirts, etc.) when or where would such items be available?

Re: THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.....


Clint....lol, well I was answering quite a few questions and a lot of them depend on how much money the CTA can raise...as to what we can anc cannot do.

Did I mention we work off donations??

Now seriously...T-shirts, hats, etc, etc...are on the plan for Spring 2007 and will be available asap.

Brotherobin...One of the pages that will be on the site asap is the 2007 budget plan. Being a 501(c)3 organization...all our records will be available on a annual basis. We have a board (5) people that decide by vote how the money is spent. Just like any other national business, the treasurer handles the money and dispenses it the way the board see fit....every penny spent is accounted for and cannot be spent without two signatures...mine and another board member.

The CTA will be taking donations in five ways:

1. Donations by Our paypal account (which will be on the website)

2 Donations by Snail mail....for those who dont do internet transfers.

3. I will be going to organizations, churches, shops and individuals (fellow Christians) and raising money on a one on one basis.

4. Merchandise sales.

5. Speaking engagements

All money raised in these manners will be dispursed according to the published budget plan and current needs of the CTA.


Thanks a lot brothers....God bless!!

Jayme
