Learning all the time!

Isn’t it great that as the Lifelong Learning Assistant I am also learning all the time.  Helen recently revamped the GWL website and it is looking fabulous!!  Following the revamp she let us know that we are now able to update it ourselves and sent us some instructions on how to do so.  Well, yesterday I took the opportunity to try it out and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.  I updated the book group reading list and added a new volunteering opportunity and news item.

It’s true that you learn something new every day - I think it’s just more obvious when you have something to show for it at the end.  So, check out the new site and have a look at the news items and volunteer pages to see my handywork.  Click here to get to the GWL site.

Happy Holidays everyone, have a fantastic time over the festive period and looking forward to a prosperous 2009 for all.

So much has been […]
