October Report to the Business meeting-

 

Committee members:

Steve, Jerry,   Bubbe, Jane, Denise, Kristen, Anne 

 

*	This group has  been on hiatus for much of July/August/September
*	We are picking up where we left off at the end of June.   We have
identified pages and materials that are newcomer specific, and we are
brainstorming a variety of ideas.
*	The content of the current site that  has been identified by us and
the materials shared with newcomers are now under review by the group.   

*	Greeter Letter #1 - sent to prospective members after they contact
us
*	Greeter Instructions - Directions for our greeters on enrolling new
members
*	Greeter Letter #2 - sent to new members after enrollment
*	Newcomers' Page on ASP Website
*	Instructions Page on ASP Website
*	Still outstanding: The LA's email to the new member

*	So, we are only now starting to dig in to the content-with the goal
of eliminating redundancy, simplifying content so that it is clear and easy
to read.  
*	Only after this review and analysis can this group make a
recommendation.    
*	Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline in place.  

 

Hugs, Serenity and peace to all,

 

Anne
