This website is being created to help put together a reunion and to provide one place for Acadia members to get together.  From my limited research, there are at least 6 websites that Acadia sailors have registered on and none of those sites make a mention of the other sites.

The idea for this site came about when an email about putting together a reunion from Lenny (Arrington Leonard, a former BT) showed up in my mail box via Maria Guzman.  I decided to do my part by putting together the web site to help coordinate it.

 On the subject of building a website,

Here are some of the things we can use help with:

  • Pictures!

  • Graphic design-- make the site look professionally done

  • The Joomla CMS system.  I think I have it covered (I'm learning it), but if you're already an ace, get in touch...

  • Ideas/wants for content

  • Authors for articles/columns

  • Spreading the word about this site; tell everyone you know!

My current ideas for the site:

  • An online gallery of all of the cruise books that will let you see every page at will.

  •  Keep a collection of all known Acadia member registry sites.

  • Use polls to figure out when is the best time to hold a reunion.

  • Have a member registry that is the master member registry of all of the registry sites.

If you have any ideas and/or want to be a part of this, click the "Contact Us" button and send Mike a message!
