The BASICS:
To change your settings: Click on 'My Page' then choose 'My Settings'.

There are 4 settings to change: to change just click on the headings-be sure to click SAVE at the bottom when you are done.
Account : contains your name, birthday, age (whether to display it or not).
About Me: contains your profile questions, your website (if you have one), and your contact information (which is private)
Privacy: who can see your comments, photos, etc
Email: this website will automatically send you emails. If you do NOT want emails from the website check the last checkbox "do not send me emails from Soroptimist"

I recommend you change EMAIL settings immediately.

Diane

Hi Diane,
I'm the secretary this year, (along with Marilyn Kennedy). It would be nice to keep the minutes to all our meeting on this site. I'm going to try to upload our last meeting minutes. If this doesn't work, I may need help. I will still be sending minutes to everyones individual e-mail addresses.
Thanks, Elysa

Hi Elysa,
I would recommend putting your meeting minutes in a new Discussion. I would name it something like - 'Meeting Minutes'... or you could add them to the existing 'Member Information - Documents/materials' FORUM...

To create a new discussion just click 'Start a Discussion'. It is above and has a green plus icon.

If you are posting 'meeting minutes' from a committee meeting, I would post that under GROUPS, then click on your committee, add the document in a discussion (you would also start a new discussion).
I hope this helps!
Diane :)

To add the minutes (these minutes are not for a specific committee but for the entire club), do I have to start a discussion each week or could I just post them (say in an area or page named club minutes). If I need to start a discussion, it's going to be too much work and I'll just continue blasting them directly. Thanks, Elysa

The 'start a discussion' is a one time thing. Then all meeting minutes go there... they would be seen by the entire group.

There is a discussion already called 'Member Information - documents/materials'. You could just add it there.
