Change Log for IMCB Website

• Reminders

• Repository for reusable text

Reminders

Activities Newsletter PDF. Create PDF from Ernies's Word document. Name it IMCBActivitiesNewsletter.PDF and FTP it to the Documents folder on the webite server. This file is linked to from the About Us and Calendar pages. DO NOT use Contribute's option for copying the document to the server since it creates a new name for the file in the documents folder, which will cause one of the the links on the website to be incorrect. Do the FTP separately from Contibute only, for example, using AceFTP.
