1) General Interest

Online Business Roundtable - Next Week (Tue. nite, Sep 11, 7-9pm)
While all are invited, this roundtable will be of special interest for those who have been taking June Hollister's Online Business Classes.  The objectives are:

bulletTo share what is and isn't working for each participant
bulletTo critique each other's sites (if so desired)
bulletTo elicit ideas on improvements
bulletOther brainstorming topics

This is a Roundtable, not a class or course.  We will view sites live online of those who want to participate so that the group can discuss.  Participants are welcome to bring their laptops to take notes, and in case your site isn't published to the web yet.  Please feel free to bring anything: handouts, notes, questions, etc. that may be of benefit to the group.

June Hollister's Online Business Course Update
There are a few changes coming with June's course.  She had announced at the last meeting that she was not going to continue with the Marketing portion as originally planned, but that she was going to repeat her Basic Online curriculum again.

However, she needs a bit of a breather in order to incorporate several changes.  We are going to continue on with the advanced course after all.  One key difference is that Doc will take a more active role this time around.

So, June's Online Marketing course will begin on Friday night, September 14th, at 7pm.  We'll both see you then.
