All:
Merrily has enlisted my help to revamp the MCA display case at the Community Center. We would like to include info for each committee with a picture/graphic and a listing of upcoming events. I have pasted each committee's information that is posted on the MCA website. Hit reply and provide the following:
- Is the information below for your committee what you want to be used for the display case? If not, please send text you would like to include. Do you want the description on the website updated with new text?
- Is the Picture/Graphic okay?
- Is the day of the month you meet correctly listed?
- Do you meet at the MCC?
- Is the contact information correct?
- Do you have an event planned during the next 6 months? If yes, please provide, date, time, place and description of event.
A quick reply would be appreciated.
Regards,
Linda Walsh
