Followup to the November Membership Meeting
From Betsy Stueber: Here is an article from the NYTimes by Ann Patchet that makes you rethink all of the Christmas shopping you did:Technology Tip
If you read your newsletter on the Newsletter Posts section of the website (in Members Only) and are confused by the earlier posts that are still there, you are not alone. The website shows the last 30 posts at any time, although ALL posts are accessible at all times. (Remember a former post telling you how to sort and find a specific post?) The first post of every month is the President's letter, and the last post is Overheard at the Garden Gate. The posts are in chronological order, beginning with the most recent. Does that help?
