Maryann - I'm so happy that you are pleased with this forum. Please let me know if I can help you with anything. Sorry about just responding, but I do have a few things that I am working on.

To the forum:

From day one you have made me feel welcome even though I didn't do an introduction. I believe I just chimed in and began asking questions and responding to threads.

I have never seen any forum this friendly, considerate and willing to help with any problems that are posted.

Everyone Be Well and I am so glad that I joined this forum!!!

Wow - Carla, that's such a cool testimonial! I love hearing that...the people here are incredible and when I set out to start this site I had no idea what to expect but everything is just as it should be and I couldn't hope for better!

Did you know, we've only been online 6 months!
We'll have to think of some special way to celebrate the 1 year anniversary!

I can't believe that you (Tess) provided such a wonderful forum and so many individuals have found there way here to research, chat (non business issues), and to learn. I haven't read everything, so that means I still have a lot of things to learn about which makes this forum a necessity for my business.

Many, many thanks to you Tess, and everyone for your input.

Be Well,

Thank you Agnes! Much appreciated!

Thank you Deb. I'm already appreciating everyone's input and helpfulness.

Not a problem Carla. Totally understandable.

"I have never seen any forum this friendly, considerate and willing to help with any problems that are posted." - I totally agree with you 100%.

Nice going Tess! I did not know that you started this forum started 6 months ago. Congrats on its success!

With regards to celebrating the 1 year anniversary - I know it would be impossible for everyone to get together and meet, since the members are located in various states. Maybe a celebration can take place in one spot for every tri-state area (i.e. PA, NJ, DE). That way, it would provide an opportunity for those close by to one another to mingle. Some locations can be the PA Convention Center, a large conference room in a hotel located in the center city Philadelphia area, or perphaps you may know of a venue.

Even if you have to charge some type of fee to cover room, food and drink - I'm sure a good time will be had by all!

Let me know what you think or if you or someone else comes up with some suggestions.

Mary Ann
