Do you need a push to learn new technology?

Last August, at the August Executive Board retreat in Princeton, we talked about using new technologies to change the way we communicate with our members. We talked about blogs, wikis, RSS, virtual meetings, and other interesting things. The talking part was fun, and some of our members are already very tech savvy, but we felt strongly that we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to learn and try out these cool Web tools.

So, we're offering our CJRLC Technology Challenge--here's your chance to learn on your own or with our help and get rewarded for it! The flyer is going out in our February 1st mailing with all the details. It's already on our website http://www.cjrlc.org/Challenge/techchallenge.htm

If you complete the entire challenge by May 24th--our Spring membership meeting--you can come to the meeting and get a prize. If you complete any part of it, you'll be recognized at the meeting. If you've already done some of the pieces of the Challenge, well, then you're on your way. Call or email me to sign up (roz@cjrlc.org or 732 409-6484).

In the next few days, I'll be posting links on this blog to information that will help you learn on your own. We will also arrange more workshops to help you.

Good luck and we hope to give out lots of prizes on May 24th!
