Another Attempt
This is our second attempt (in 2 years) to create a user friendly website for members as well as visitors. The first one failed (obviously), due to technical difficulties (isn't that the best excuse when something doesn't work?).
Lets hope that this second one will work and could serve as a cyber living room for our club. For those members who are not familiar with blogging, I will be giving a "Blogging 101" speech on Oct. 16 meeting. Stay tuned.
