Agenda
First, get well wishes go to Marilyn Markham, one of the project leaders. She is in a rehab facility as the result of a fall about 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Anyone new to this meeting?


 * Joy Bogar. She has been experimenting with the table at the top of the page and many other "little" things that add up to a lot.
 * Lois Fowles. She has been using spare time she did not have to put FHL links into several counties.
 * All of you who are attending--both for the first time, and those who have been to most meetings (Liz, thank you!)

Review of last meeting

Idea share

 * Colored labels for sections
 * Provide context: example: a beginner selects "Birth" from the top table, then selects "Census" to see how censuses help with births.
