website

We have become aware of the fact that our domain name for our website has expired and are doing our best to get it back up and running.  It is at the top of our work-list and the technology committee will take care of it as soon as possible.  Please excuse the fact that the expiration date went unnoticed.  As committees are being formed and after this week will be operating, things such as this will not slip through the cracks.  Please join us at the committee meeting on Thursday (see below post) and help us prevent things like this from happening and help new ideas grow!
