Description: This page is the summary from the official rollout. It provides a high level summary of the new features of T-Ten.com
Wecome to the New & Improved T-Ten.com 2-15-10
The T-Ten class is growing and re-inventing itself to better serve you, the members.
The T-Ten website has been updated. The old website was ten years old and served us well thanks to the skill and care of our webmaster, but it had some limitations.
Our new website will place the T-Ten Class up with the top one design classes and it will give us flexibility for growth and new functionality in the future.
We are still growing and will roll out additional functions in the next couple of months.
If you are from outside the Great Lakes - Erie, Michigan & St. Clair, we still want to hear from you so send us your local activities and what your are doing with your T-Ten.
Take a look, keep checking back and give us your impression and suggestions.
