Smile of the day:
I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed the exit.
Program:
Rob talked tonight about the new look of our website. (He also gave us a quick insight into the UNESCO world sites in Iran where there are 8 of 22 world heritage sites).
We recently had our website reviewed by RI and we received some input about how to make it more valuable. The website is really for people other than us, so Rob is trying to make the page as relevant and interesting as possible for those who find our site. The old setup had some historical information that was really more for us. We have not lost that information - it’s still in the archives where it can easily be accessed by our members.
