A MESSAGE FROM THE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION: We’re changing the management of the Residents’ Website. Collingtonresidents.org is our community website, supported by the Residents Association and managed by residents. The goal is to offer one-stop shopping for campus and neighborhood amenities and current and past resident events. Until now, the site has been developed, nurtured and grown, unaided, by Richard Zorza. But now Richard wants to step back and put the continued management in the hands of others, while he continues to send in contributions. As we begin the new management, we want to reach out to residents and provide training for using the website and in the process get feedback to make the website even more friendly to our fellow Collingtoninans. Plans for training will be posted in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are the people who are learning to be our permanent or substitute/adjunct website managers. Julia Freeman [email protected] Lois Brown [email protected] Charlotte Melichar [email protected] Dennis Evans [email protected] Margaret Bagley [email protected] Marian Fuchs [email protected] Contributions are always welcome.
