WHAT is a website annex?
 
Well, our free little google site here is running out of space and there is no way to increase it at any cost without totally re-doing months of work (thanks, Google). 
 
So I got a second similar site and have tried to build a navigation system which helps us all hop from site to site without getting lost.
 
Thanks for your patience with this.
