to the memory of <nobr><b>Mark Goldfarb (z"l),</b></nobr> whose untimely death in January, 1999 left a void in the lives of his many friends and family, and in particular on the congregation's Communications Committee, where Mark had been a very energetic and enthusiastic participant.  Mark served as the congregation's Webweaver during late 1997 and 1998 and performed a masterful job in maintaining the site and in ensuring that all of the information in the congregation's calendar, newsletter, and Web site were in sync (no small feat!).  At the time of his death, Mark had just launched the process of redesigning this Web site, engaging the efforts of many members of the congregation.  After nearly a year of steady effort by those of us who carried on this work in his memory, the new site made its debut in October, 1999, on Columbus Day Weekend ("Discover a New World on the Web!").   Mark is deeply missed by all of his colleagues on the Communications Committee.</i> <br></font> <p><font face="Arial"> </font><h2><font face="Arial"> A Brief History of Bet Mishpachah on the Web<br> <i><font size="3">by <a

October 1996, and it's been great fun ever since!   In early 1996, the congregation engaged the services of a consultant, <b><a href="http://www.netaxs.com/~stessa/" target="_top">Stessa Cohen</a></b>, who helped us plan our original concept and design our initial Web pages, under the supervision of then-congregation Board Member <b>Karl Schwartz</b>.  Subsequently, the page was maintained by Webweavers <b><a href="http://www.ourspace.com/" target="_top">Devra Floyd</a></b>, <b><a href="mailto:technical-support@betmishpachah.org?SUBJECT=Feedback via Web">David Horowitz</a></b>, and <nobr><b>Mark Goldfarb (z"l),</b></nobr> under the direction of the congregation's various Communications Committee chairs over the years.</font> <table BORDER=0 COLS=2

Calhoun</a></b>, currently Assistant Webweaver and at various times in the past Communications Committee chair and Webweaver, brought us kicking and screaming into the age of secure online credit card transaction processing, CGI's, Perl, and JavaScript.   Under Carol's supervision, the Web site subsequently went on to win the <b><a href="http://www.gayamerica.com/awards/past.htm" target="_top">July
