| What is a Virtual Home Page?
A
Virtual Home
Page (VHP) is a fast, simple, and inexpensive way to put your lodge on
the Internet. Just submit a few simple online forms, and you'll have an
effective web presence within the Grand Lodge web site.
What kind of information can we post on
our lodge Virtual Home Page?
Each
Virtual Home Page includes space for:
- Lodge
News. Post your newsletter on the Internet! With your Virtual Home
Page, you can publish your news immediately - no more waiting for
printers or the U.S. Post Office. Even better, your news will available
to all of Elkdom - not just the folks on your mailing list.
- Lodge
Facilities. Do you have a lounge? Restaurant? RV hookups? Golf
Course? Post your facilities on your Virtual Home Page and they'll
become a part of our searchable database so traveling Elks can find the
services they need when they're on the road.
- Lodge
Officers. Publish your lodge directory online. Each directory
listing can (optionally) include a name, spouse, current office, past
offices, address, telephone number, and email address.
- Lodge
Calendar. Lodge events can be posted in a familiar calendar format
with a "hot-linked" detail screen where you can include a full
description of the event, contact information, and lots more. Your
members can even display a "printer-friendly" version to create a hard
copy of your calendar.
- Lodge
Links. You can now post links to external web pages that feature
additional information about your lodge, your programs, or your
community.
- Extra
Pages. You can now customize your site with "extra" pages for
topics like Lodge History, Lodge Location or any topic
that's appropriate to your lodge. These pages will be included
automatically in the menu of options that appear on the left side of
your Virtual Home page.
- Images.
You can now upload up to thirty images for display on your Virtual Home
Pages.
- ENF
Reports. A variety of reports from the Elks National Foundation are
now available from within your Virtual Home Page. You don't have to do
anything - the reports for your lodge are included and updated
automatically by the Foundation!
