The Menus at a glance link no longer work. I think the website has been removed. I tried to e-mail the author Shanna L. Christ at shannafincherchrist@yahoo.com but it came back as a bad e-mail. Is there any way that you can send me a copy of your files?

I can't email you since I don't have your email address. However I did update the links. Let me know if you are still having trouble. You can email me at lisainnevada(at)gmail(dot)com if it still doesn't work.
