Scott & Kim are working on the revision of the department's web page.  Please return your disk by Friday, March 24th!  (Feel free to return it early!)  Confirm your email addresses as well.  If you have another email, other than a WRTFD, that you check regularly, let us know.  They can be linked together so that you will only need to check one! If there are special trainings, get pictures on disk so the can be put on the site.  If you have any general suggestions/wants/don't wants for the page, let us know too. The intended goal is to have this site completely in service the first weekend in April!
