Lost in the Web?

It’s easy to be found! On any of the Spiritual Directors International Web pages, just type CTRL-F (“Control” key and “F” key at the same time), and a helpful little search box pops up. Type in what you want to find, hit “Enter,” and you’re there!
For example, on the global events page, you can quickly find events in your geographic area are using these steps. 

1. CTRL-F
   
2. Type “NJ” in the box. (Unless you don’t live in NJ. Then type in NY, CA, ON, NETHERLANDS, AUSTRALIA or wherever you live.)
   
3. Hit “Enter.” 
   
4. Read about all the cool events going on in your geographic area.
   

You can also search for presenter names, cities, and countries. If you don’t get any results, try changing the Find direction from “down” to “up.” If you still don’t get any results, try e-mailing Mike in the office.
