Healdsburg Harvest Century Bicycle Tour Registration is Now Open!
Ok, so it has actually been open since April 8 - but who’s counting right? You can find all the details about the ride, including how to register, on our website and in the registration packet located at www.healdsburg.com/biketour
H a r v e s t C e n t u r y d i s t a n c e options include 23, 37 or 60 miles; gradually increasing in difficulty. The 23 mile route is rather flat, while the 37 & 60 mile routes have more rolling hills and moderate climbs.
Bicycling Magazine listed Sonoma County as one of “The 7 Greatest Rides on Earth” --- alongside the likes of Tuscany, Crested Butte, and Moab.
Bike Tour VolunteersEvery July, over 125 Volunteers
assist the Chamber with our biggest fund raiser of the year, the Harvest Century Bicycle Tour.
Without your dedicated support, we would not
be able to host the 1000 riders that come out for the tour.
We are looking for volunteers to fill our shifts at the Geyserville E l e m e n t a r y
School & Westside School
Rest Stops, as well as at the High School on
either Friday or Saturday.If you are interested in helping
out this year, please fill out the following form and send it in to our office: www.healdsburg.com/PDFs/2010BikeTourVolunteer.pdf

There are common frustrations people experience in many business meetings. Companies all over are wasting precious time and resources because they lack the necessary tools to make meetings more efficient and productive. Fortunately, technology has come a long way in the meeting room. Companies are realizing the benefits of tools such as fixed video displays, wireless Internet access, electronic white boards and video conferencing. Although some of the options may seem a little unrealistic due to financial constraints, think about what’s really being lost. Time = Money.
Here are a few tips about some technological innovations that can improve your meetings by leaps and bounds.
Wireless Internet Access: This lets meeting attendees hook their laptops up to the Internet during the meeting. Meeting goers can access information from the Web or the local network in an instant, without interrupting the meeting to run to their desks to get the information, making their time in the meeting much more productive. An even simpler setup for a conference room is a dedicated PC that can be used for accessing files from the local network or quickly surfing to a web page. These PCs can be used for running PowerPoint presentations or conducting internal training. Also, a good 3-in-1 scanner/printer/copier is also a very helpful tool when conducting a meeting. Of course, if your office is moving towards more of a ‘paperless environment’ you might be better
suited with some form of online document management and storage.
Online Document Management: Now that you’re wired (or wireless) for meetings, let’s talk about how word processing and document management are moving more and
more towards the Web these days. For some, the reason is obvious; it’s accessible from anywhere, is open to collaboration and sharing, is easy to import and export, and in general is just a better way to do work in this constantly connected world we live in.
Example? OK. Let’s say that you need to e-mail a document to 6 co-workers. Essentially what you’re doing is sending off 6 copies of the same document to each of your e-mail recipients. If each of them makes a change to the document and sends it back, you now have 7 different versions of the same document to work with.

Increasing Efficiency through Tech in the Conference Room
Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau
Continued...Online Document Management services basically
flip this methodology. Instead of attaching one document and sending it to several email addresses, you’re actually attaching several email addresses to one document. Everyone is editing the same file, and all the changes are being tracked via a user-based timeline within that document (varying upon your individual user settings).
It might be kind of hard to wrap your head around this idea at first, but once you’ve got your documents online, there are numerous plug-ins that will allow you to work with the software that you’re already familiar with; MS Outlook, Gmail, Exchange, etc. GoogleDocs is the 800 pound gorilla in the room when it comes to this kind of stuff, but Adobe’s Buzzword, Zoho, Etherpad and Peepel are all worth looking into.
Fixed Video Displays: These are instrumental in letting all participants easily view key charts, presentations and other displays. You will no longer need to huddle around someone’s laptop to look at a presentation or play a video. Instead, you can sit back in your seat while you easily view the material. Whether it’s a flat panel LCD mounted on the wall or an image projected onto a large screen, any presentation becomes much more effective in drawing an audience’s attention.
Electronic Whiteboards: In most conference rooms you see today, you’ll find a dry-erase board covered with a variety of chicken scratch along with a note that reads, “Do not erase!” Usually, it’s someone’s job to take notes from the whiteboard and turn them into digital copy. Electronic whiteboards save a lot time and let each user participate to the fullest because they transfer the content on the electronic whiteboard to a local computer as digital files for storage and dissemination. More advanced electronic whiteboards can be interactive, letting users bring up a web page or access a file with a finger or stylus, which in itself, can be utilized to replace the aforementioned Fixed Video Displays.
At the end of the day, all that really matters is that the tools you have in your conference room enhance your meetings, save you time and money, and keep the participants engaged and productive. A couple of these tools are very cost-effective with a huge ROI.
I know this article was kind of a “doosey”, but thanks for hanging in there and getting through it. Please feel free to give me some feedback.
