Welcome All the Presidents of the Brampton Rotary's

Welcome to your new Blog everyone!

Please make a post on any topic you would like - as I see the posts start to come in, I'll start pulling the post threads into category topics to keep track of it all.

If you look to the right hand side of the Blog, you can click on the quick links to go to our shared Calendar - feel free to add in your fundraisers, meetings, or whatever significant dates you think would be interesting for other Brampton Rotary Presidents & PE's.

There is also a shared Documentation repository where you can put up presentations, spreadsheets or Word documents and anyone registered to the Blog can input to the documents so we can co-create some great stuff together.

If we cant all make a meeting, we could easily use the Google Talk (Instant Messaging) feature or if you click on the Google Homepage, you will see that I have added Skype. Skype is a voice/Video conferencing platform. We can video or voice conference together for free. Click on the Skype Widget (bottom left hand collumn) and sign up for an ID, get a microphone for your computer and voilla - we are conferencing together without having to be face to face. If you use this feature together with the shared docs, you dont even really need to be face to face (although it is nice to get together face to face - this is the next best thing)

This is your collaboration toolset for us to work on joint initiatives and generally just keep up to date with each other. It is much more powerful than ClubRunner because EVERYONE can input to the Blog.

Enjoy ..... Shane
