Issues & Projects for May / June / July / August

  • Added Gillis to Board page & Google Groups
  • Lots of news items in July and many, many events added to calendar.
  • Request from the Wayne County Tourism Bureau to use our photos. Their RFP notes "commercial" usage. Should we charge additional fee for use in Social Media and/or Billboards?
  • Sales call with Friends Fellowship. Successful! Thanks, Karen!
  • Returned to office at the City Building. Set up took a while, as the new computer hadn't ever been used here. Had to order new converter in order to use 2 monitors. Got Carbonite working again, albeit, slowly.
  • Enjoyed a week's vacation in June.
  • Bugs affected both our Trivia program and the Member's Text Rotation. Fixed after some research and tweaking.
  • Photography and Photo Processing.

  • Ill - took 2 days sick time while waiting on COVID test, which was negative.
  • Volunteered time to take photos at State Fair Band Day. Husband also contributed.
  • Followed up on State Tax letter, sent by mistake. Spent several hours chasing this down to get it corrected. Frustrating! Ultimately cleared.

  • Project Time Report (Approximate!)
  • Updated Credit Card number across vendors who auto-bill.
