The new Division Website is the work of many people, but very special thanks go to Lis Wilhelm, a Pratt Institute student, who has used Joomla open source software to create the site. Thanks too to UNA-NCA (Paula Boland, Kurt Krausse) for sharing their new templates and to YPIC webmaster Hector Javier for his encouragement. Do you wonder why the site is narrow? So that it can be downloaded onto PDA's and cellphones, of course! The site features Division and Chapter events; streaming headlines from the UN News Center in the right-hand column; links to many UN and related websites (see Links, above); information about Committee activities under "Programs;" invitations to Join, Contribute and Volunteer; and many other features. The About Us section has contact information for Division officers, lists of board members and committee chairs, and the Division By-Laws. The YPIC button leads to information about YPIC, its committees, programs and activities. At the top right of each article you'll find a .pdf button, a print button and an email button. Try them out! The article will open in a new window. The button at the top right of the window lets you create a .pdf file, print or send. Feel free to make suggestions --your input is welcome. Send your ideas to
