I didnt realize we talked about so many things.:shock: I told you I wasn't good at taking notes.
 
Appreciate the heads up. I have been lurking. I get side tracked easily with family, brother still, and Soccer stuff. Wife planned something Saturday right after game. I was not a happy camper. So I owe you a appoligy for Saturday. I can be reached by cell usually. I can be reached at home also. We have one PC at home. As as of Late. the Kids have been using it for research for school.
 
Ghazni,

The easiest way to redirect the web site is by adding the following to the main page and deleting everything else.

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.ThePSAS.com/index.htm">
</head>

They'll be here without even knowing about it.
No need to even ask Paul.

Vicki
 
I know how to easily redirect it but I do not have admin permissions :(. I only have content creation and editing permission. Nevertheless, I think we should make it a clean process and solve the problem once and for all so that everyone is a happy camper.
 
I forgot one more point in the meeting notes and that was to extend BOD offers to member like Jen and ask them to be our representative for KITSAP area. It seems like we need to extend our hand to them or they'll soon form their own club.

This way, we get the members from those extended area and they all become part of Puget Sound Aquarium Society...

Who is Jen? I must have missed this during one of the moments several were speaking at one time. :oops:
