FYI: To the left of the home page - under Member Functions - open the Notify Me link (you have to be logged on for the page to open). Once opened - there's an instruction on what action you can take to be notified when updates occur on the site. i.e, you might want to receive an immediate notification when an employee is added to the In Memory section. The info displayed is self-explanatory
