<p>As you can see we have been hard at work developing a new site for our members.  The website has not been updated since 2007.  Our new site will offer new features including advertising space, better search engine links, a simplified navigation as well as online features like online membership application, online payment of annual dues, events and sponsorships.</p>
<p>As the new site changes, please stay tuned &#8211; not all the features are activated yet.  All the members have to be re-entered because we are changing platforms &#8211; so if you do not see your member listing right away please be patient we will get to it shortly.</p>
<p>Thank you and I welcome you to the new MelissaTX.org!</p>
<p>Carrie Wells<br />
Chairman</p>
