Kudos go to
Drew Bartley - Thank you for the work completed on the Boston page. Great work!

We are looking forward to your feedback on how things are going as well as:

 * hints or tips you have to share that may benefit other moderators or adopters
 * ways to resolve problems that arise
 * areas that you may need assistance

Training (onboarding) being developed.

Conversation in the call:

 * Boston Massachusetts page: SEO, appearance, 12,900 views
 * Desktops vs tablets
 * Hub page (mock up): Massachusetts Genealogy Guide- an SEO designed page. Title chosen by FHL SEO expert.  Feedback:  Need user testing.
 * Reason for page layout-graphics (Boston)
 * Placement of sidebar - concern that they are mostly for volunteers and take up space.

Ran out of time. We will continue discussion next week.
