SAR ALBERTA WEBSITE CHANGES
*

When dealing with changes to the SAR Alberta website we are now only going
to make changes once per month. It has been difficult at times with changes
coming and going constantly.

If you have changes that need to be made for the web site only, please have
changes into the SAR Alberta Secretary secretary at saralberta.ca by the First
of every Month.

Changes to your membership information only not for the website may be sent
in at any time to the SAR Alberta Secretary.

Thank you

Mary-Ann Warren

Secretary

STATS REMINDER
*

Rodney asked me to include a stats reminder in this issue. I looked for the
last posting he gave me for it and it was in September last year. Assuming
that whoever hasn’t sent their stats yet will know this is for them, I’m
posting the entire note – out of date dates included.

It is that time again for the collection of 2010 statistics (Jan 1 to Dec
31) - please see template or website

I would like to have the information back to me by Jan 7

Your info/numbers shows the valuable service our volunteers provide our
communities throughout the province.

Should you have any questions, please let me know

Thanx

Rodney Dietrich
