Sunday August 24th, the GSE Team met at GSE Team Leader, Asst District Governor, Gary Ridout’s home in order to solidify their presentation they will give to Australian rotary clubs when their trip starts September 25th. In this photo the team poses with Gary’s pooch, Snickers before getting down to business. 
I have had a lot of questions from Rotarians about what exactly is a Blog. “Blog” is an abbreviated version of “weblog,” which is a term used to d
escribe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.
Blogs can be used for any purpose. I wanted to give you some examples of other GSE teams that have used blogs to log their adventure. Maybe you can get some ideas or maybe you have your own ideas of what you want to add to our blog.
