Our website is a year old now! That time has flown, but it's been good to be able to add new material and make changes without having to explain what is needed to someone who is tech savvy but may not be genealogy-oriented. It's nice to be able to make the changes and improvements on our own and we are happy with how our new website is functioning. Could there be improvements? You bet. If you have suggestions for changes or new material, please send them in an email to either president@pgcgs.org or webmaster@pgcgs.org. These two positions are currently filled by the same person, so you may use either one.
Speaking of which, if you have some computer experience or are not afraid to learn new things, perhaps you would be willing to fill the shoes of webmaster. There are training videos available that you may watch at your own speed and the provider, EasyNetSites, was created with the idea of keeping things simple and easy for us non-techies to understand. It's actually a fun job -- I'm not dying to give it up, but then I'm also president and currently functioning as publicity chair -- so I have plenty to do for this society. If you are interested in helping spread the word about our society, its meetings and its library, feel free to join me on the Publicity Committee -- that would make two of us!
Does it sound like we need help? We sure do! In addition to the above, we also need someone who would be willing to conduct the annual audit our books. Ideally this would be a local person, so we would not have to mail the paperwork that needs checking. Please contact the same emails as mentioned above.
One more thing -- our Membership Chair, Karen Riekert, who is also our Secretary and main Librarian, would be happy to train someone to take over the Membership files so she can focus more on her other two society jobs. The membership rolls are computer-based, so some comfort in computer use is a prerequisite for the job. Attention to detail helps, along with a willingness to listen to/watch a few hours' worth of training videos on how to use our online system. But it's not a difficult job and does not take long to do; the heaviest concentration of time is in summer, since our membership year ends June 30 and many people are renewing around that time. Please think it over and let us know by emailing president@pgcgs.org.
Thanks for your attention! Have a nice summer vacation.
