Region XV
The Rev. Mary Staley, assistant at Church of Our Savior, graciously offered to set up a no-cost web resource page to allow Region XV churches to have a place to share information of interest to the region. Our new web location is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DVARegion15/
This information is meant to be circulated to clergy, staff, region representatives and council delegates of our Region XV parishes. It will take some time to complete the contact list. Please pass this information to the appropriate people in your parish.
Purpose:
--Quick reference information - list of Region 15 parish contacts and web links
--Sharing announcements of events in the area, we'd like all parishes to be aware of (Region Meetings, Evensong, and Speakers etc.)
--Sharing information: the Region Meeting Membership thinks would be useful for our regions (example - dates of the Schoolhouse Thrift Shop Toy Sale)
Ultimately this information will only be as good as the information provided by each parish. The initial web page is made up of information already available on the Diocese of Virginia Page, the individual parish web pages and the on-line listing of parish info from church pension fund.
What you will find:
What you can add:
E-mail Mary at mstaley@cooschv.org with things you want to add and she will post them
-- Announcements of special events, speakers, etc. that are open to the Region
-- Pictures of your parish (2-3 per parish to start) if you want to add them
-- Corrections to names, addresses, e-mails, etc.
This site is not intended to be used for blogs or interactive discussions. It is just to post information.
You will be required to subscribe to the site to see the content. You will receive an e-mail from the site inviting you to log-in and register to receive the information we post. The instructions are not too difficult but read them carefully since you will have to generate a password. There is no cost to you to use this system, and you are not required to use yahoo e-mail to use the web information page. You will have a yahoo address as a result of the log-in process, but you can also indicate you want to use your primary address for receiving messages.
Mary will be happy to answer any questions. Contact her at mstaley@cooschv.org
