New web pages ** UPDATE - NEW since last meeting or EXPECTED ** Community Involvement - now has pages for - El Centro, - Prairieland...Agriculture, - Sponsoring Refugee Families - Jerry's Charitable Rebates - Giant Garage Sale (aka Stuff/Youth groups) CUCC Leadership - linked from Who We Are (all the church committees) CUCC Arts Camp - linked from When & Where CUCC Summer Softball schedule - linked from current events page (created from info from Tony & Denise Oligney-Estill) UCC Personality - from Conference, first link on Who We Are page Building Questionnaire and Sunday School Registration forms online New Members Class - linked from When & Where (and currently on Welcome) "Parking" link - Rick Langendorf drafted a preliminary map of nearby parking lots for Sunday morning use which we plan to put on the web with prominent link from Welcome (and When & Where) pages. Rally Day info - Lanie will create link and page from clipart and content to be provided by Tracy Heilman and Tom Watembach and perhaps picnic signup form from Peggy Wade Stewardship info - Emily Rogers considering this Women's Book Club - Jeanne Ward looking into managing this page BUT UPDATES NEEDED for the following: Women's Fellowship Page - needs updated info/meeting dates Youth Group Page - the Youth Group needs to take over maintaining this page - perhaps rename the current page to NYE04.html and create a new page index.html and put a link to their photo album which also needs to be created . ** QUESTION - are these pages under the right menues? is it intuitive where to find them? We recently put an "education" entry/link under When & Where in addition to Who We Are. ** QUESTION - "Bulletin Board" is currently under Current Events before the list of upcoming events by date. Should the Bulletin Board be a separate page with separate link? The Bulletin Board is useful for recurring events such as once-a-month always on the same day of the week as with Men's Fellowship. *** SOME OF THE PAGES WE ARE STILL MISSING *** Under Menu to be created by Pages Who We Are Deacons (& Pastor) - Theology Mike Mulberry - Pastor's Corner (under which eventually are audio sermons?) Community Involvement Women's Fellowship provide the content for - Times Center, - Meals on Wheels Program & Mission - Habitat for Humanity just put Scott Bush photos of Frieda Wascher House in the "Photo Gallery" (/gallery) and just provide an entry and link on the Community Involvement page. - MLKing Jr. Advocacy for Justice Committee (scholarships) There are photos in "Photo Gallery" so just provide entry and link? - Food Pantry/Empty Tomb no longer in business? or just provide entry and link to Scaggs award in "Photo Gallery" "stuff" group - Charitable Donations *NEW* activities/vote.html - Our Faith, Our Vote (UCC campaign) When & Where Deacons (& Pastor) - Baptisms & Marriages, - later: Holidays & special Services BASIC PROCEDURE - follows example of Men's Fellowship under Who We Are 0. provide a name - Men's Fellowship 1. create a directory - men_fellowship 2. create a page - index.html 3. provide the title in upper right corner of page - Men's Fellowship 4. typically two paragraphs - brief description of group/topic/event/organization possibly with link to outside organization - contact information and/or how someone might get involved, photo(s) if available/desireable. ----------------------------------------------------------------- H. Followup to Searchable Data Base - is something else needed other than the "google" search on the overall website? i.e. for - The "stuff" group is compiling a list of charities that take donations - with their location, contact info, hours, what they take, what they don't take, pick-up? etc. - Ken Gilbert created a "virtual loan closet" with info re various items and who has them and is willing to loan the
