How to Use This Site

print this page

Welcome to the site designed to serve Rotarians in District 6780
and others who are looking for information about us.

This site is organized by groups of pages. Our SITE MAP will show you a list of each page and the order in which the pages are laid out. 

Underlined text, like that in the sentence above, indicates a link to additional material. We have planned the site so that links will open in new browser windows so that you can easily find your way back to the window you started in.

At the top right side of every page, you'll see the words "home" and "contact us" next to the theme logo. Click the appropriate text to return to the home page or send an email to our webworkers.

There also is an option on every page to print its contents; the printer icon is usually located at the bottom of the page, but it may appear occasionally at the top of a page.

You'll notice a dark blue menu on the left -- it is visible no matter where you are in the site. As you move through the site, the white text on the dark blue background will turn gold to let you know where you are within the menu.

If there are secondary pages for a given topic, they will appear once you click the topic line. For example, when you click on the word "Overview" in the menu, you'll see seven additional pages appear -- this list of secondary pages will disappear when you click elsewhere in the menu.

Again, remember that a Contact Us form at the bottom of the dark blue menu on the left or the top right corner of any page will open an email browser so that you can send us your comments or concerns. You may also mail them directly to our Communications Chair, Karen Bridgeman of the Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club, at rotarykb@comcast.net.
