| New Omaha Beach Community Website |
|
| Date: December 2005 |
The Omaha Beach Community Inc (OBC) is pleased to announce the
launch of its new website.
The new site, www.omaha-beach.org.nz,
has been completely redesigned from the ground up to be visually
appealing and user-friendly. The upgrade became necessary following
our name change and was further encouraged by our desire to publish
as much information as possible for OBC members.
- The Communications section contains the latest news,
events, projects and information on Omaha Beach sports clubs,
etc.
- The Administration section contains information about
our Life Members, Committee, finances, membership and meetings.
- The Directory section will be most useful for finding
local businesses; everything from trades people to retailers,
entertainment and many more.
