Blog Relocation

We're Moving!!!!

In order to provide more features and for ease of maintenance of those features, the Chestnut Ridge District Blog is relocating to a different site.  Our blogger site has served us well but we've outgrown it.  Come visit our new site at

https://sites.google.com/site/chestnutridgebsa/

Most of the content from this site has already been migrated to the new site and any future information will be added to the new site.  The old site will remain around but no new information will be posted here.

Our new site has better calendar options and will allow uploading of real documents (no more hard to read .jpg files!)

So, check out the new site and let us know what you think.  This is kind of a "soft launch" - an email will be sent out via the district email lists in the near future.
