The New OCC Blog!

OCC is gussying up our website with a chapter blog!

What does this mean? This means there will be more information for our members, right here at the site, and on this blog. With so many in OCC gathering their news and updates online, the Board decided to make things easier and focus our information in one central location.

We will still send a monthly email to recap our members’ achievements and chapter news! However, in addition, our chapter blog will:

  • Keep our information centralized.
  • Boost our web traffic, providing better search rankings for OCC.
  • Give our members a chance to share their knowledge with one another.

Suspending our Orange Blossom publication will also allow Alexandria French (Sandy), our newsletter editor, to spend more time with her new grandbabies! Congratulations to Sandy, and many thanks for all your hard work.

Stay tuned for meeting photos, information recaps, informative articles and much, much more!
