Building a Stronger New World

Today I have made a brake through with the networking in the office area. The old computer and the new lap top now talk to each other for a couple of the programs I will be using for updating the web site and for data keeping. Now we are rolling. This whole high tech thing is not easy for me. I do not have an IT degree. Things are coming along though now. we are making headway into a place that for us is a bold new world.
Another brake through this week was network growth. We reached our 430th member mark today! That is 30 more members in the short time since our 400th! Fastest we have grown to date this past couple of weeks. Before years in I am projecting us to be very close to 500 but that could be hopeful guessing. We have been getting the word out more about the network and store so maybe it is paying off now. Searching for villages is something all of us do every day. Its not that hard to get people looking and we have our place on the web so they will find us in time.
The winter season has me thinking about revamping the web store for 2009. We are now at the point in the year where local sells are by appointment only. The brick store itself will be closed until spring 2009 and stay open until Oct 2009 again as of today. If this changes we will post these changes here and else where also.
Winter also means tax season is coming up so I am off in the next couple of days to revisit the books and make those work. With the office network coming along better now I think this will be a huge step to making this an easier year for book keeping also.
