Using the Ramsey Rotary WebsiteTuesday 9th July 2013
The Rotary Club were overjoyed to learn that the evening presentation was to be another "Evening With" event. Once again the entertainment was supplied by Rotarian, Marc Pons-Burt. The topic was getting to grips with the Clubs own website, covering items such as Calendar, secure areas and the dangers of being caught doing something amusing on Camera!! Despite some attempts at heckling from the back of the room (which was dealt with swiftly!), the overall experience for members showed the "Silver Surfers" to be the most accomplished at using the site! |
