Greetings from the new JASNA Website Manager! Sharon Lathan here to say howdy and give a brief overview of what's altered. Maybe I am crazy but I actually enjoy messing around with websites. Carrie needed help and I was happy to step up. Together we are brainstorming of ways to make our region's website interesting and dynamic. These projects are naturally works-in-progress, but here is what we have so far---

1. An improved membership page in a FAQ format with details on membership requirements, fees, benefits of JASNA, and an easy-breezy registration form.

2. Informational pages on JASNA and Jane herself. Curious about the various movie adaptations of her novels? You will find it on the "Jane Austen" page!

3. "Beyond Jane" will explore and link to the numerous books, movies, music, etc. that have been inspired by love-for-Jane, including my own humble offerings. 

Other tidbits are scattered here and there - Did you notice the "Jane Says" quote? - and every page has been updated.

Of course, "brainstorming" is always better with lots of brains involved. SO, we want to invite our members and guests to assist. Stories of Jane-love are welcomed. How did you first discover Jane? Have you written pretty verse or a song inspired by P&P? Any great experiences in a Jane related adventure? Ever traveled to Bath and want to brag? Met Colin Firth or Matthew Macfadyen and he assisted you into the carriage?

OK, maybe that last one is my own fantasy, but perhaps you get the idea! We welcome you to share your anecdotes and memories. Send anything of interest to me or Carrie. Our email addresses are on the "Contact" page.

For now simply have fun exploring. Insights or noticed errors are appreciated. Enjoy yourself and by all means, JOIN JASNA where the fun never ends! 

Ta-Ta for now, Sharon
