It has been wonderful to see all of the VTMHCA members register for this website!  This is in part a “test” post so that all of you can see what it is like to receive an email from WordPress that some sort of activity is taking place on the website.

I hope all of you are liking what you see of the site so far, and please remember that we are open to suggestions, so please email Lisa at Lschwartz2181@gmail.com to discuss them.

Also, we have had a few questions about updating information on under the “Find-A-Counselor” section and whether that is the same as the profile information when you “login” to the site. The answer is no, it is different. If you are interested in updating your information under “Find-A-Counselor” please go to the Renew Membership or Update Website Profile page of the site (under Members Only pages) and there are detailed instructions!  The information will not be changed automatically, but will be done w/in a few weeks!
