The Green Bay Jaycees web site now contains a RSS News Feed. You can
get the news feed from http://www.gbjaycees.org/?view=rss. Just copy
and paste the XML link into your favorite RSS News Reader. If you
don't have one, there are many listed at
http://www.google.com/Top/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Technical_Services/Cataloguing/Metadata/RDF/Applications/RSS/News_Readers/Windows/?il=1
or use My Favorite at http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/.
The first time you load the feed into your news reader, you will get
all of the web pages. If you have already read them, then you can just
delete them. If not, read them first. After the initial load, you
will only get a new item when a web page is added or updated.

What is RSS:
(http://xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html)
"RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like
sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community
sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news.
Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be
syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of
CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information
about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the
feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
"RSS-aware programs, called news aggregators, are popular in the
weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A
news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by
checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them."

Well, that should be it.
