-a) Hiring a webmaster (David T. unless someone from Spring Dinner
would like to volunteer)

-b) Establish short-term web page goals (smooth transition to new
provider,etc) vs long-term (re-design of page)

-c) Things to keep in mind (see below)

SEE WEBSITE-Our webmaster is closing his business. We need to determine how
we wish to proceed.

Options for hosting a
web site:

• Run a blog at WordPress.com - this is a free service that runs the same software I use for all of my projects. Your address would be businessname.wordpress.com, or you can pay $12 a year to
  use a custom domain such as businessname.com (not including the cost
  of registering the domain name).
• Create a Facebook Page – this
  is perhaps the easiest way to connect with a large group of potential
  visitors. On the other hand, it could be difficult to keep up with
  Facebook’s frequent changes to its terms of service and privacy
  settings, and also monitoring comments posted on your page.
  More information is available at http://www.facebook.com/pages/learn.php.
• Host your own site through a
  commercial web host – this is what I currently do. Most hosts start at
  $5 – $10 a month. This would require fairly technical knowledge
  about building and maintaining a web site. I’ve used www.asmallorange.com and www.dreamhost.com and I would recommend
  either of them.

Options for email:

• Use free web-based services
  such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. This is an easy solution but the
  downside is that you would lose the custom domain (i.e. you would
  be name@gmail.com instead of name@yourdomain.com). Using Gmail for
  Business (http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/gmail.html), you can set up an account in
  the format name@yourdomain.com, but at a cost of $50 per
  year.
• You can set up a business email
  account that provides email services without also paying for the web
  hosting. Register.com has a service starting
  at $2.92 a month: http://www.register.com/product/businessemailsolutions.rcmx

Maintaining a domain
name

We will need to transfer your domain name to your credit card so that you can
handle renewals. Your domain is already pre-paid until January 2013.
The cost to renew after that is around $45 a year, but it is much
cheaper if you purchase a 3 or 5 year renewal.

-a) Re-establishing Articles of Incorporation with the State of
Washington (Joe)

-b) Requesting an EIN (Joe)

-c) Club name change? (General Meeting)

-d) New SEE financial acct (Gaizka)

-e) 501(c)3 application (Gaizka)
