Dear Members,
We wanted to give a notice to let everyone know that the board will be closed from Saturday, October 22 through Sunday, October 23 for the Moderator Fall Retreat. (The actual close time for October 22 may occur sometime during the evening of October 21 - just so you're aware.) This essentially means that the board will be closed for the entire weekend.
The board will remain open for reading, and the search feature remains useable. PM's are still able to be sent and received during board closures. Members will not be able to post to threads or start new threads during the board closure.
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

Ladies,
It's good to be missed! We're so grateful for your prayers, and hope that your enthusiasm will be shared with all of us at 4Real when we re-open after the retreat! We haven't even closed yet and I can't wait to be back with all of you!

Please know that you all will be my prayers.
Many blessed ideas and discussions to you all!!!!
(And I'm with Betsy thinking I'll check on the boards at least 3 times before I finally remember WITHOUT clicking that you all are on retreat )
