Any member organization may add news
about their organization. News may be about
fundraising, employment, or other news that is happening
at your organization. This news area is
a place to offer a brief description of the event or
situation. If you have a more extensive
explanation that is currently on your organization's
website, please submit that event's website address
(specific to that event) so that we can link back to your
organization to provide visitors with additional
information.
You might also find adding this
event to the calendar of events useful. Please
follow the steps in the next section to do just that!
To submit news, click
here. Follow the directions on the
page very carefully.
To add an item to the calendar, click
here. The event will need to be approved
(for content and to prevent fraudulent additions).
As soon as the webmaster reviews the event, it will be
added as appropriate to the calendar
of events.
Committee chairs can add their
committee news and reports to the Continuum's website.
Each committee
has its own page where reports and any other details (like
rosters of committee members) can be added.
To add committee news, you may do so
two ways:
- Email
the webmaster directly a Microsoft Word or Text File
attachment. Ensure that the Committee name
and the date of the committee meeting are noted either
in the email body or on the attached file(s).
To ensure that the attachments are valid, please
note in your email body (not the subject line) the
name of your committee and YOUR NAME.
Emails with attachments with no message in the body
will be deleted immediately without being opened
because of virus potential.
- Complete the add
agency news form. You'll need to type
in the news and no attachments will be possible.
The information contained in the
Continuum's database is a product of several year's worth
of submissions from the old Peninsula Non Profit Network
and meeting signup sheets. Information does
change as people leave their positions and move elsewhere.
Please feel free to update your listing, add keywords, to
provide a description of your agency, etc.
To update your listing, please first
conduct a check for the listing as it exists now.
- Go to the main
page and enter either the last name of the person
whose information you wish to modify into the 'member
last name search' and the listing will appear; below
the name (multiple last names may be listed with
popular names like 'jones', etc) will appear a form to
modify the data. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
CAREFULLY! You will need the unique
identifier ID number to successfully update the
listing. Each listing in the database has
such an ID number and will be found in a red area to
the left of any listing.
- Follow the step above
for the 'organization name' or 'keyword' areas.
- If you wish to ADD a
NEW person, put 'new' in the ID required field.
You may update your
e-blast subscription option by visiting the bottom of the main
page and making the appropriate selection of
'subscribing' or 'unsubscribing' to the e-blast.
Since whatever appears in
the E-Blast also appears in the website news section (or
other more appropriate area), please complete the same
process for adding news.
