Using Blogs and Multimedia for Organizations
What does Web 2.0 mean? Since the term
was coined and has become a "buzzword,"
the meaning can vary from a function on
a Web site, such as blogging, to a more
complicated view on how the Web site
is created and how it interacts with
the World Wide Web. Read

Family Day
The National Center on Addiction and Substance
Abuse at Columbia University is sponsoring
Family Day, celebrating the day nationwide
on September 24, 2007. Originally launched
in 2001 after research consistently found
that the more often kids eat dinner with
their families, the less likely they
are to smoke, drink, or use drugs, Family
Day has been an annual event.
Camps can promote Family Day by:
- Organizing events involving family
members that lead up to Family Day.
- Encouraging city and county executives
to proclaim the day dedicated to families.
- Distribute Family Day brochures to
your campers and families.
- Link to the Family Day Web site from
your camp's site.
