Peter H’s comment has been moved to the Find Meetings page.
What happened to chapter 13 of How Was Your Week? It was available to convenors on the old web site. I have someone who is interested in starting a meeting and we do not have any books to send them at the moment.
Dennis,
With the creation of the new website, some of the content from the old site has not yet been re-formatted, although we’re working on it. I’ll send you a link that might be helpful.
I thought you would like to know that some of the text is running outside the table and is unreadable. I went inside your source code (css) and found the problem (I think) that you might want to give to your webmaster to correct.
This is your source code for the page (http://lifering.org/documents-for-convenors/)
source code:

/** this is the style for the wide page **/
.single-attachment #content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 900px;

900 px should be changed to fit the width of the center column which appears to be around 640px or less.
Not 100% sure this is the problem but it is my first guess.
Thanks for the tip, Calvin — I’ll be passing it along
