World of Hurt: Blog/Calendar heads up

Hi all,

I'm sure you've heard me talk about how we're updating the blog.  Well, the time is near.  Mid-August we'll be going live (around the same time as captains practices start).

A few things:

1) If you currently have any type of "feed my inbox" or "blogtrottr" set up for http://hurtult.blogspot.com/, that function will break.  If you have something set up for www.hopkinsultimate.com, you should be fine.  Same goes with bookmarks.

2) The current iCal will be removed in favor of a new one.  So if you subscribed to that calendar, go ahead and remove it.

3) Now is as good a time as any to check your Parent Google Group set up. If you want out/in or want to change the email address on file, please let me know.

4) When the new blog goes live, if it looks weird at all click Ctrl F5.

5) http://hurtult.blogspot.com/ will exist out there on the internet for the foreseeable future, so any references to KITs or past tournaments/rosters will still be available in an archive.  We're not permanently deleting anything.

The purpose of the new blog design is to provide more information and be more user friendly.  We can always make changes to make it better.  We're using a pretty standard Wordpress interface, so we may not always have the technology (i.e. push notifications are a long way off), but we can always try.

Similarly, when we go live there may be some materials that are not yet available (a few things need to be finalized with the board first, and 2014-2015 forms may not be ready yet).

Thank you all for your patience, we hope this is an improvement!

Reminder: the summer is when we get better.  Go play ultimate, stay in shape or improve your fitness, recruit, and get ready for an awesome 2014-2015.

We Value Your Feedback

Hey everyone ~ 

Your thoughts are important!

Quick reminder to take a few minutes to take our survey via 
Survey Monkey.  If you've already taken the survey, THANK YOU!  If you haven't yet please do so.  Both parents and players can each fill out a survey.  We've received wonderful feedback so far :-) but we'd like even more!

The link is here:  Survey monkey

Thanks!

Debbi

THANKS/SURVEY MONKEY


Hi everyone!

I trust that everyone is enjoying summer.  I cannot believe it is the 4th of July weekend already! 

Thank you for an exciting 1st year for me as president!  What amazing groups of people we have/had make up the 'whole that is Hopkins Ultimate.'
Players, coaches, parents, friends and family!   

Thank you for everyone's support, kind words and the gift card :-).  Completely unnecessary but very much appreciated!


It may be July 2nd but we are already planning for next year.  We have a short survey via Survey Monkey we encourage players and parents complete.  It's short, confidential, and a great way to gather feedback.  The questions are multiple choice with an option to leave further feedback if you like.  Your name is optional.   The survey will be available until July 15th.  Just click on this link:

  SURVEY MONKEY

Thanks!

Debbi
