Thanks, Donny. That's how I've been doing it. I also copy the last minutes file (November_2007.html) over to the minutes.html file and that will cover all the links.

I've already done that this time. It could benefit from a little formating, but I didn't mess with it much.
I keep meaning to go back and update the photos in the right column to match the meeting. I have not gotten around to that yet. And I only think we have one meeting photo that is not mug shots of the membership.
