-0500> > Hi All,As we put together a Friends website, we'd like to make sure
that we link to all the other websites that connect to the club, for example
George's blog, etc. If you are aware of any sites that relate to Friends of
Students and/or Students, please email me their web addresses. Also, should you
have any suggestions on features we should include in our site, please share
your ideas. Please get back to me by this weekend, so I can try to incorporate
your feedback into the first round of the site. I hope to present a mockup of
the site at our January meeting. Best wishes,Jen Brady CotterP.S. Please email
your feedback to: jbradycotter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and include "Friends
Website" in your subject line. Thanks!>
