I am pleased to report that we are on schedule for deploying the newly designed FOHBC website! Maybe even sooner than the projected 15 June 2011 target date. Stay tuned. This major effort is brought forth primarily by Ferdinand Meyer (FOHBC Board Member) with initial start-up consultation by Tim Garfield and Bill Meier.
A sneak-peek screen shot is pictured above.

Hallelujah! It looks gorgeous. Long overdue, but better late than never. I can’t wait till it’s live. Who’s overseeing/creating content?
Marianne: I am heading up this project for now and will be controlling content and appearance up until a projected 3-month run after the 15 June launch date. At this time I hope to turn over the site to the FOHBC Business Manager. I would continue to assist where needed. Bill Meier has been contracted to be Webmaster as noted above. It would be GREAT to get any input or ideas you have. I will send you a test view link soon. Working on FOHBC Facebook Page now. Welcome to the NEW FOHBC World!
Marianne, you are always so on top of things. Good to see your interest in FOHBC. We sure could use your help.
