Greetings, Trackers<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I feel like I\u2019ve been waiting ages to send this message. We can finally say that all Regional Tracking Centers<\/a> are open, nearly all the website work is done, and we\u2019re now ready to begin our efforts to grow our ranks and track Santa<\/a> for Santa.<\/p>\n

After months of discussions with Santa, with Elf Roger Star of North Pole Flight Command<\/a>, with Elf Wally in Logistics and Operations<\/a>, with Elf Charity Pickle in the Sleigh Department, with Elf Harriet Bow in Wrapping, with Elf Hugo Slavia in the Postal Department<\/a> and with Elf Victor and Elf Big Sled Ted of Reindeer Operations, we can no move forward with what we\u2019re calling the Unified Plan.<\/p>\n

All trackers in all Sectors<\/a> will focus their efforts on these things during the month of August:<\/p>\n

1. Chimney Inspections<\/a> \u2013 the weather<\/a> is good, so let\u2019s get them out of the way. We know we will have last minute trackers signing up in November and December and they will have to deal with then. The rest of us will do it now, while it is warm and safe.<\/p>\n

2. Weather Reports<\/a> \u2013 One per week from every tracker<\/a> in every sector<\/a>. For now, these are more for training purposes than actual flights. For those areas that see the test flights<\/a> \u2013 and that is looking more and more like Sector 5<\/a> in August \u2013 these reports might help. But more than likely what your reports will be doing is to test flow into Flight Command. A LOT of elves see your weather reports and right now, that means training at the North Pole and with the ship crews of the North Pole Navy. It doesn\u2019t matter what do you do it \u2013 just please send them in.<\/p>\n

3. Let\u2019s recruit \u2013 we\u2019re going to have late sign-ups, like we do every year. Do not point them right now to SantaTrackers.net and the Elf Community. Point them to SantaUpdate.com<\/a> and get them regularly checking in for news<\/a>. They will, if they are serious believers, find their way to us at SantaTrackers.net at the right time.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it, friends. Just those three things.<\/p>\n

The goal is to be focused and deliberate in what we\u2019re doing. I\u2019ve asked the Elf Supervisors<\/a> to focus on these things. They will be posting, but more on the Elf Wall than in the news.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to let the news teams of Elf Harold, Elf Meg, Elf Trixie, Elf Frank and the others carry the bulk of news posting (like they have been).<\/p>\n

I am hoping each of you is focused on SantaUpdate.com as well, that you\u2019ve got your membership set up at the North Pole Club<\/a> and that you are taking advantage of what that offers.<\/p>\n

I have it on good authority more neat stuff is coming for the North Pole Club<\/a> in the next few weeks and most of that stuff is included for you because you\u2019re a Santa Tracker<\/a>. Log in there often – daily – and read up. That’s going to be the main news for us for a while and I think the new things coming forward for the North Pole Club are pretty exciting. You’re going to have greater access to Santa than ever before. Watch for the chats especially and get used to making lists of questions just for Santa. I love attending those and I greatly enjoy when you are all there.<\/p>\n

And for those of you out there tracking Santa on your own – I see you. I appreciate your reports. You are still our biggest crowd. I want you to know I appreciate your efforts and so do the Elf Supervisors. We take your reports seriously. And we hope more of you join the Elf Community soon.<\/p>\n

Thanks, and let\u2019s get moving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
