Submitted "Business Entity Report" to the State of Indiana.
Prepared for Annual Meeting.
Reviewed & compared 3 member databases to make sure each was as accurate as possible.
Begin reviewing content management web software.
Continue progress on Artists of Wayne County. All text has been received & all photos have been taken. Need to finish web site & get posting approvals from partners.
Met with Carol Smyth to determine the distribution of funds for the Wayne County Foundation grant. WayNet received $2,500.00
Met with Richmond Art Museum to offer suggestions on how the two organizations can better partner.
Sent email to David Fulton regarding getting an upgraded computer. IU East is no longer offering not-for-profits that type of support.
Took 1 day of vacation during this period.
Website Maintenance:
- Review and update page links & calendar events, as necessary. Take photos.
- Update board member info.
- Changed the home page layout a bit so the text didn't "stretch" so much when using a vertical image & added a "Focus" section for featured news.
- Removed "Wayne Teachers Federal Credit Union" from sponsor rotation.
- Work on moving Calendar to amhosting and in the process upgrade from 3.2 to 3.21. Still need to do some "tweaking" before the move can be accomplished.
