This month we have begun the FREE Lecture Series with Dr. Bernard Alvarez for those who have requested it. It is in its 3rd week but you can start from the beginning if you choose. Classes are in Video form and numbered accordingly. (Bernard still has 3 spaces open for anyone who wishes to participate in the Personal Teacher Program.) http://www.thegic.org/group/circleofdivinelight

Recently the GIC Network has had some upgrades to its Blog, Video and Forum posting format. You can now use "Rich text" or basic HTML to post with enhanced Video and Picture features. You can also change text font's, color, size and be as creative as you want with your Blog post's.

Also please note that we are requiring 'tags' for all Video post's now in preparation for the upcoming "Video Categories" feature. While we have had this as policy in the past, our Admin Team will be enforcing it as of this week.

The justBernard Show has recently gone through some upgrades and losses as well. First we'd like to thank Dr. Jeanine Austin PhD. for her year as Co-Host and look forward to having her as a guest on future shows. Jeanine retired from the show this past week due to time restraints but will still be an active part of the GIC family through her Simply Divine Solutions group her work on You Tube and our FB page. Also we are now a Premium Radio Station thanks to your contributions and our listening audience has more than doubled this year alone. We will continue to broadcast on BTR and will have special LIVE interviews on GICTV in the coming month's. Next week we are welcoming Yvonne Wykes (Our very own Garden of Eve and Eve of Amnesty) to The justBernard Show family as co-host with Anita Stewart of the Hillsborough County Water and Soil Commission updating us all on the situation in the Gulf of Mexico and the BP Spill. http://www.thegic.org/group/thejustbernardshow

We will be having another Community Movie Screening on Sunday with the release of the new Zeitgeist movie, "Moving Forward". We will send details out as soon as we have the movie transferred into the GICTV rotation.

NOTE from Bernard: "I just want to thank everyone for their support of my work and of the GIC as a whole. We have certainly come a long way and so has the consciousness of the planet as a whole thanks to the thoughts and deeds of all of us. I am excited to see what 2011 brings us and what we can do with this wonderful Council of the awakened. One Love."

COMING NEXT:

We are hoping to raise enough in our monthly budget to begin using a professional email service for newsletters and the sort. This will bring an end to daily "Featured Post" emails and provide us with the tools to create an interactive Weekly Newsletter. 

We are also looking into purchasing a "Meet Up" account to begin our Community Council program so we can all meet each other face to face by City, State, Region and Country. More to come...

Have a great 2011 and we will keep you all updated as best our present time and tools allow.

Namaste.

The GIC Admin Team
