What would this entail? It'd be quite a learning experience. I'm afraid I'm not as savvy as the current webmaster. I use GoLive and Fireworks for web work. I know basic HTML.

If someone else prefers or is better skilled wants it, and more local, by all means I don't object to them taking on the role. <br> <br> -Angela<br> <br> --- On<b> Tue, 10/13/09, Victoria L.
