<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hi, all--<BR>
<BR>
I’d like to request that those of you with announcements can help keep our social networking sites updated by posting news our members can use. That keeps our news feeds fresh and relevant and encourages others to share their news as well. <BR>
<BR>
Some suggestions:<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><OL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Rebecca’s new book

We can make these updates to the website very soon, but those are going to be much slower to happen (apologies: access is much slower than expected but improving significantly as offices are reconfigured —growing pains). <BR>
<BR>
But we all have access to the Blog (I think), and the folks with access to Facebook can post there. <BR>
<BR>
Susan: Can you help get these items upated on Facebook? If they can’t get them up there, can they send items to you?<BR>
Liz: What about the blog? Can you help folks get items updated there? If they can’t get them there, can they send them to you? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
Shanon<BR>
