New Look on the Province II Website
Since the last In Prov 2, the provincial website has gotten a new hosting and a new look, but the same url ( www.province2.org)still works. The news from this newsletter is all on the NEWS menu link and the events, opportunities, etc. are on the EVENTS, ETC.. link. The links to many of the webpages have changed, so you may need to change your bookmarks. The stories from past editions of the In Prov 2 that were on the old website are no longer there. To get any of those stories from past issues, contact Jan Paxton. Any suggestions for improving the website will be gratefully received! |
