Good evening everyone:
I hope you all had a good holiday, and representing your board, I wish you all a Happy New Year.
Your new board met for the first time last Saturday morning, and we are off and running, beginning program plans for 2007. If you have any ideas for programs or meeting content, please let me know.
I am primarily writing tonight with two questions, both of which revolve around our website. The first concerns content for the site: Do any of you have content you wish to post, or are you interested in supporting content posting through writing, etc. Second, is there anyone out there just aching to be a webmaster? We are trying to determine how large and complex our website should be, and this depends on how much content there might be on the site, and on whether we have members who would be willing to support the site.
If you have interest in either of the above, please write me at chairman@tanqueverdedems.org.
Best wishes,
Henry
