Continuing our fight against poverty and encouragement of business visability and tourism, members of Northport Community Preservation and Restoration (NCPR) and the Northport Chamber of Commerce(NCofC) participated in a hands on class to redesign and implement the Northport Chamber of Commerce Web Site. Brendon Michael Hall, a web savy relative, worked with 9 community members to create the site using Dreamweaver and Fireworks. The maintenance of the website will be left to the Chamber of Commerce. The web site is scheduled to Go Live by 1/5/09. The address is http://www.northportwa.us/ 
The class was squeezed into the holiday break. Designing a web site "by committee" is sometimes a challenge, but we perservered. The new web site should serve the needs of tourists and locals alike with local business information along with vacation ideas and resources.
Art and Nina Grobben hosted us. Nina provided LOTs of Coffee, goodies and lunch. Art even took off my tire chains!
Thanks go to our hosts, Art and Nina, and to Brendon for making himself available to support us.
