WEBSITE:
Mary Martha (Mary Margaret’s daughter) discussed details of developing our
own website. A prototype was passed around for review. The site is free and uses
“yoalsite” but for a fee of $17.95 per year we could change it to “.org”.
Herb made a motion and Carol seconded to pay $17.95 a year for use of “.org” in
our address. Motion was passed.
Mary Martha will develop the site and present it at a future meeting.
