Web page updated for 2007-2008 & new Committee Info Update tab on left

I have been updating the web site with Gov Dan's information from his hand book. Please let me know of any corrections. Also I have added a new tab for the Committee Chairperson to get their information out to the district, Ellen Foster from PGI has posted information, I would like other chairperson to send me their information to post.

I also would like club information to post in the Zone tab.

Thanks - Al Ludlum - Webmaster
