Co-Op Webmaster joins Grand Lodge team!

Patricio Castro, a Syracuse University graduate student in Information Management, has joined the Grand Lodge web team. He will serve as our co-op webmaster for the spring term. Mr. Castro has extensive experience with the Drupal Content Management System (CMS) used by Grand Lodge and many other user-driven web sites. We look forward eagerly to working with Patricio: first to make the many content updates that have been long requested by the webmasters of Lodges in our jurisdiction, committee chairmen and others; and then to embark upon more substantial re-work of our site. Perhaps the most important task we will undertake together is the development of materials for the training sessions soon to be offered to our members. This training will enable volunteers with no prior experience to create and maintain content for our site: news stories about Lodge events; calendars to avoid the collisions we so frequently encounter; photos and even streaming video.
