Why a Web Site for Heritage Village?

We are seeking ideas for a Web Site now under construction to serve Heritage Village residents and our snowbirds at:
http://www.inheritage.ca/

Some food for thought regarding content:

For Newcomers ?
1. Heritage Village FAQ: Common questions from newcomers.
2. Rules and Regulations and Prevailing Opinions.
4. 20 Year Archive : Best of When, What, Who's Who.
5. What we are: Club House, Heritage Square, Homes.
6. Our Neighbourhood: restaurants, retail, wineries, events
7. What we do: Events, Clubs, Socials, Classes.
8. Introducing new Residents: their biographies & picture.

For Residents ?
1. Hall of Fame: our heros on display.
2. Daily Events: What's on today? Local restaurant menu specials.
3. Annual Events: Who's in charge, who needs volunteers.
4. Inheritage Magazine archive: search on-line for past articles.
5. Talent Gallery: Our best artwork, crafts (searchable).
6. Author's Corner: Our best poetry, recipes, articles, (searchable).
7. Our Business Cards: Available skills in the Village.
8. Contacts: Heritage Club Board, Condo Boards, Inheritage, Clubs.
9. Social Blog: Events this week.
10. Informing us of Residents who have left: their bios & photos.

For SnowBirds ?
1. Inheritage Magazine on-line.
2. Directory of Village resident phone numbers, contacts.
3. Help!: Lists of local House-sitters, Gardeners, Plumbers.
4. Social Blog: What's going on Down South this week.
5. Advice for future-Snowbirds: Mexico, Florida, Arizona, etc.
6. Canadian travel advisories (updated automatically).

Do you want it? Will you use it? Want to help? The goal is an interactive site, with weekly updates and resident feedback. The site should be self-financing and be free to our Village.
