GOSA Launches Website To Promote Communication

GROTON — The Groton Open Space Association launched a website this month with the address www.gosaonline.org.

The site is designed to make it faster and easier for the GOSA leadership to communicate with members and potential members. This should lead to wider membership and more effective mobilization for GOSA projects.

Our site’s home page will give you a quick overview of what’s happening at GOSA. From there, you can click for more detail on the history of the organization, its accomplishments and current projects. You can learn how to become a member, if you aren’t already, and get involved in our activities. We now have an e-mail address that you can use to contact us: contact@gosaonline.org

Parallel to this development, GOSA will launch in coming weeks a newsletter that will be displayed on the site. The newsletter also will be sent to members via U.S. mail, unless they elect to receive it exclusively via the web.

The site won’t replace our traditional means of communication‹through personal contact, telephone and paper mail. It is meant as a supplement to these methods, one that should enhance our sense of mission and community in our work to protect the natural resources of the beautiful place in which we live between the Thames and Mystic Rivers. It also will allow us to link electronically with other environmental organizations outside our immediate area.

Acknowledgements are in order to the people who made this site possible. We thank Suzanne Furlong, a New York-based web designer, for generously donating her time and talent to designing and programming the site. We’re grateful to Joan Smith, a GOSA director who researched and wrote the text for the site. Our president, Priscilla Pratt, has provided steady encouragement and support.
