I SENT THIS OUT AS AN EMAIL BUT DECIDED TO POST IT AS AN ANNOUNCEMENT AS A CONVENIENCE TO YOU.

ALSO, AT THE REUNION, THERE WAS SOME INTEREST IN POSTING PHOTOS OF THE REUNION. SO FAR THE RESPONSE HAS NOT BEEN OVERWHELMING, EITHER DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST OR UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW TO DO IT. THE "GALLERY PHOTOS" SECTION SEEMS CLEAR ENOUGH BUT IF ANYONE NEEDS HELP, LET ME KNOW.

BEST TO YOU ALL

I have received a great deal of positive feedback from many of you regarding the website and how it has enabled many of you to stay in touch. I thank you for your support although the credit goes to creators of the site. I would like to clarify some of the capabilities that the site possesses, to the best of my knowledge.

We have recently received messages from some of you sent via the “Contact Us” button. Anything sent using this button goes only the admins (Posie, George Harmon, Scorno, and me) and is usually used when you need help or regarding something administrative. If you want to send a note to the class and leave it open for comments, I suggest that you use the MESSAGE FORUM (on top banner). I copied the referenced messages sent to “Contact Us” into the Message Forum since they seemed to be meant for wider distribution

I received the information below from Class Creator support regarding WHAT’S NEW and MESSAGE FORM.

What's New automatically updates with page updates, profile updates, birthdays etc. so it is a page that will automatically update itself even if classmates don't add new posts directly on the page or respond to posts on the page.

Message Forum works very differently. Users go there and post into a guestbook type ongoing thread of conversation. As the administrator you can edit or delete all posts. The classmate posting can only edit or delete their own post.

I am leaving both methods on the site and do not care which one you use. It seems that the “What’s new” is oriented more for one-on-one communications as well as capturing specific activities.

You can post announcements using the tab in your Member Functions on the main page but these have to be approved by one of the admins before it gets displayed.Once approved, an email blast goes out so we are careful about approving announcements. You can use one of the other methods to communicate and do not have to go through us.

I hope this information helps you.
