Ladies,

We wanted to give everyone advance notice that the board will be closed (read only) next weekend from November 20 (morning) through November 22 (night) for the Moderator Fall Retreat.

Just a reminder and an explanation to newer members, the moderators and administrators go on a virtual retreat twice yearly - once in spring and once in fall. It is an opportunity to do some technical work that may come up, evaluate and refine our work/purpose/goals, and re-energize spiritually and emotionally.

Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your presence and participation here. We look forward to coming back energized after the retreat.

God bless you.

Sincerely,
The 4 Real Moderators and Managers

It was so thoughtful of you to plan this when I'm on vacation anyway, lol.

I am glad I noticed this time around. Last time it took me by surprise and I thought there was some kind of crisis.

And we apologize for the opening being later than announced (and expected). Sometimes it's jsut so hard to coordinate all the little pieces and everything doesn't fall into place in the time frame expected. Ever have one of those days at your house? I sure do... par for the course around here.

So please jump back in and let's get the ball rolling.

You know, no matter the fact that I *know* it is a virtual retreat...

I always picture ya'll in some lodge/beach house somewhere eating chocolate, drinking wine, and sleeping in...otherwise glad you're not having to referee the board...



I know. The truth is far more mundane. But hey, a girl's gotta dream, right?
