Staying Connected


One of the ideas we discussed at the meeting of the Peconic Conference on Sunday, November 4 at Hope, Selden was to begin creating a way of connecting with each other via the internet.


I suggested that we consider the idea of a Conference Blogpage that everyone could get access to so they could add their announcements, thoughts, problems, and questions for everyone else interested in staying connected.

I have set up this Blog site (http://www.peconic.blogspot.com/) as a way to start out. It's free and we can all use it as much as we want.

If you are interested in joining in to this experiment, send me a note at my e-mail address: rohill@optonline.net and I will send you access information. As part of your involvement you will probably be asked to establish a google account. Don't let that scare you. It's the way you get into the blog system.

I have a lot to do today, so I'll just send this out now. Hope to hear from you soon. Dean Rich Hill
