Club Websites that are hosted on the AVA Server
Holly Pelking, IT Committee Chair, announced in February, changes that will be forthcoming if you are an AVA Club that has a website hosted on the AVA Server. If you are currently using the AVA Server, you are paid up till May 2012, and AVA will continue to keep the hosting alive for an additional 4 months for free. This means you actually have until the end of September 2012 before your Club Website is removed from the AVA Server.

Volunteers need not presently be in Florida, but will be at the convention and would be available to help out. Please send an email to Maxine Johnson Convention Volunteer Coordinator if you are interested in helping.

Checkpoint Newsletter 
As the Club President, set up in the AVA data base system email addresses of other officers, event/trail POCs, and members for the Checkpoint newsletter. It is imperative that you make this official information available and input the correct email address for each officer. Although we would like to send in many formats to accommodate everyone, this is not possible. The email notifications and website postings will be in PDF format only as this is the generally accepted format for businesses.
