JUNE:   What's New on the Site?

Home page:

New simplified design and new technology being introduced to allow optimized page view for computers, touch pads and mobile/cell phones. This applies only to the home page (at this time) since other page designs, which allow full search features, would react poorly to this approach. The home page now contains the bulletin board for the current year with prior years archived but selectable via the buttons at the bottom of the page. (Note: Top collage image will not be seen on tablet or phone destination.)

The News and Miscellaneous button:
The content has been split and articles before 2017 now being shown in the News Archive section. A little simplification - hopefully you will see the benefits.

The entire site is still is still searchable  The Search button is found on the home page and on the first page of every menu section.
