Re the new Clan Crawford Association: Julia: I will try to get your comments to the people who can update the site, but note that some info from the old website was ported over to the new site without checking that each link was still operational. I know they put in TONS of info to check that the historical info was accurate, but not every page has been carefully double-checked yet. The site is new, having been released publicly about a month or so ago. They've been working on it since the old site was pulled by its owner in late 2015. There are definitely still things under development now and for some time yet, but they felt it was important to have the website operational and public even as some pages were still being updated. Gail: It is not a scam, it is the brand new website for the Clan Crawford Association. If you paid the membership fee then you should get a login which allows you to get to various resources in the members-only areas (the archives in particular). Registration involves two people in the CCA, so it is not instantaneous, unfortunately (yet), but you will get the login info soon if you have not yet. David: At the moment the by-laws and newsletter are in the members-only area. As I understand it, they are moving the by-laws into the public area, but I am not sure how long that'll take (soon, I imagine). I am not sure about the newsletter, offhand.

The association had to do some restructuring concerning one officer and his controlling issues. So a new association evolved with more open by-laws and more membership input. A new website was developed and is now line. It is more welcoming, more information, easier to navigate and more user friendly and providing more content.
