Hi Everyone!
As you can obviously see,the new web site is up and running. We've got a lot of extras that we hope will help you all to stay better in touch! Of course the cool thing is that so many of you are already communicating and staying in touch. Thanks to this web site, Facebook and many others, I've been able to connect up with friends I haven't heard from in many years. I hope it works the same for you too.
Here is what we have on this site, including some things that may come:
- Alumni Community - A social part of the web that will allow you to add your contact information, form groups, blog, communicate, etc. It will also interact with your Facebook and Twitter accounts. (If you don't know what those are, I will hopefully get info on this in a FAQ soon).. You can also share your pictures and videos. Yes, its similar to Facebook. But, it is much more secure (though it is open now, its only for a couple weeks to introduce this to the Alumni)
- The Message Board - upgraded and better then ever. The nice thing is that it will work, hand-in-hand, with the Alumni Community.
- Calendar - We have the Calendar which, at the next update of this program, will allow you to interact with your Google Calendar or other type of ical-related calendar. Granted, there are not more then a couple reunions going on per year. However there are a lot of groups of the Alumni meeting for different things. In the past (if not still), some of you have gathered once a month for dinners out. This calendar along with the Community stuff can help you all coordinate these gatherings.
We no longer have a photo gallery because it has been replaced by the Community program. You can create albums and upload your own pictures there.
Still to add: Contact Form and a Site map.
Also, we need donations to help support the cost of this site! Please consider giving.
Thank you all for your patience!
