Building community
GLRF offers unlimited opportunities to build community and connect with members of the GLRF rowing community. Our internal social network, All Oars Network, features a robust group feature, All Oars Groups, that brings our members together by geographic and athletic focus.
Any member can create their own group or join an existing group, depending on the level of privacy. Every group offers these key features to help connect members;
Self service group creation and administration
Three levels of privacy: public, private, and hidden
Group customization, featuring personalized banners and logos
Invite capability
Mass messaging to all group members
A dedicated forum that can have its own level of visibility to members and/or guests
‘Like’ topic notification
Staff levels: owner, administrators, and moderators
RSS feeds for each group, including separate feeds for news articles and forum topics
Individualized subdomains for listing on Facebook, gay and lesbian directories, and external websites
Categories for quick search in a group directory
Groups are great for creating community amongst a number of rowing clubs in a large city, for connecting athletes like juniors, university crews, or adaptive rowers, for regattas, and even for lgbt communities, boats, or squads in a large rowing club.
As more groups are added, we will update this list!
