Profile Photos

Please add a photo to your profile. People like to find
you by photo when they only remember part of your name.
There are several ways to add your photo.
1. Ask anyone on the Community Connections committee.
We can arrange to take your photo or if you email your
photo to us we will add it for you. (Debbie Ferris, Re-
becca Jenkins, and Barbara Allen make up the commit-
tee).
2. Select the “Your Profile” link in the top right corner of
the club’s website. Then select the “Update Profile Pho-
to” link. It will let you rotate the photo if it comes in
sidewise or upsidedown.
3. Watch for Shannon’s blasts that announce another time
to get help with the website, including logging in and adding photos, as well as learning other ways our website may help you.

Stay healthy.
