The Fans of the WCHA group in Facebook has been generating some discussion recently so I decided to see if I could get some better numbers to help tell the story. This group currently has 6242 members which is substantially higher than the more that 1100 members who currently subscribe to the WCHA. I attempted to extract the names of all 6242 members but found that Facebook makes that process painfully slow. Several hours of effort only got 4426 members who had joined within the last three years. Only 73 of those names exactly matched names in the WCHA's membership list. A total of 31 matching members had joined the organization and the Facebook group around the same time. This could imply that a few people have found out about the WCHA and joined after learning about the organization from the Facebook group. It could also simply be a coincidence. The information isn't detailed enough to track the exact timing of that sequence of events. This does provide a way to publicize the name of the organization to several thousand people who might not know about the WCHA otherwise. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
Benson
