Fick gehör för motion om att bygga en hemsida för Resele IF på årsmötet igår. Mina argument för varför Facebook är olämpligt som primär kommunikationskanal accepterades av alla men man såg ändå Facebook som bästa alternativet för att nå ut med aktuell information om förändringar kring träning o.s.v. Men en hemsida ska byggas för mer beständig information, som flera också hade erfarenhet var svår att förmedla och hitta igen via Facebook.
