How our website works:

 

When you first visit our website you normally are greeted by what is called our "Home Page."  It is filled with underscored "links."

In the center column of the Home Page you will find links labeled "Click here to contact us" and "Site Map (initial visitors start here)."

 

The main feature of the center column is presently a listing of current Kiwanis and Rosemead related news items, frequently with additional links.  To the left and right sides of the Home Page are a number of links to other pages on the website.

 

Letting your mouse hover over any link frequently causes a brief summary of the link to appear. Clicking on any link causes another window to open to the desired page.  It is likely that you reached this Site Map page by clicking on the Home Page link labeled "Site Map."

 

What the Site Map page is all about:

 

The site map page (which is what you are reading right now) repeats all the non-news links on the Home Page.  In most cases their browser highlight summaries (discussed above) are printed out. A little additional information about each link is also given.  This is intended to help visitors easily learn about and access materials available on our website.
