It's a Blog Party!

Thank You for visiting the TAPE blog!

Are you new to this whole blogging thing (ahem, Ellen)? A blog is just another word for a website. Blogs are popular because they are free and relatively easy to use and access. TAPE uses the blog as a way to reach our members... and our potential members. Every month we post copies of the newsletter, meeting minutes, announcements and helpful links. The main part of the page is made up of individual posts (aka entries). Along the right side of the screen there is tons of great informations including upcoming events, contact info, links and all sorts of other good stuff. Take a few minutes to look around!

Starting this Friday (Nov 6th) TAPE is going to host a month-long party!! EVERY Friday we are going to post a new giveaway!! FREE STUFF!! Sounds fun, right? Visit the blog every (yes, EVERY) Friday in November for your chance to win!!

Questions? Would you like to donate a prize? Email TAPE Secretary at: erin_manning_@hotmail.com

Missed the meeting? Find out what happened by reading the November Meeting Minutes!

Important Note: Under the treasurer's report is states that there was an error where an entry for October 5, 2009 read "$40 returned check + $5 fee = $50". The error is that it should have read "Two $20 returned checks + $5 fee per check = $50". We apologize for the confusion.

Do you have a question about something in the minutes or TAPE in general? Email us at mulvanetape@yahoo.com

The next meeting will be December 3rd at 7pm in the Munson Libray.
