Yes, you can all feel a little more important because we have a Gmail account and a Google Calendar

So after navigating through the mess of having to be invited to have a Gmail account with Google and the corresponding Google Calendar, I am proud to announce that the Young Adults Calendar and Young Adults Email is up and running! Maybe I am the only one who thinks that this cartoon is funny - who sets up an email system where you have to be invited to use it anyway?

Moving on. You can now keep up with everything that is going on with our group and at Southeast by going to:

www.google.com/calendar

To login to the calendar, the username is seyoungadults and the password is southeast. When you log in, you will see something similar to this. Feel free to navigate it, explore it and see what needs to be added. My hope is that this calendar can be regularly updated by me, by you, or whomever wants to add something. We will put specific events up that are happening, mark people's birthdays for everyone to see, and tentatively hold things that might be of interest to everyone. All at one place. You can add it to your favorites and check back from time to time to see any updates and what is upcoming.

The email address that has been set up is seyoungadults@gmail.com. If you have any ideas of things we should do, you run across anything that would be fun or want to make any suggestions, feel free to email and we will mark it on the calendar. Besides emailing me ideas, email me your birthdays as well. I will put them up on the site.

This will not in any way take the place of the weekly email (that all of you eagerly anticipate) or announcements, but is just one more place where you can keep up with everything. My hope in all of this is to make things easier on everyone and have avenues where we can all be connected. If you have suggestions, or criticism, please let me know and I will be happy to consider anything.

Summer is here and a lot is going to be happening. Things already in the works are baseball games, a summer kick off party, a crawfish boil, guest speakers in class, and others. The most recent news is that Rob Bell (of the Nooma videos) will be speaking at Numbers on Wednesday, July 12 and we will be taking a big group there.

I hope you are all excited about the next few months to come - I sure am.

I promise early next week to write something of substance again. Any suggestions? Leave a comment and let me know.

....And thanks to Katie Hamilton at work for inviting me to Gmail
