Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We are going to be making some moderator changes in the next few days. The forum is growing and several ladies have graciously agreed to help us . Rebecca, Dawn, Mary G, JennGM, and Meredith are going to roll up their sleeves and pitch in around here.

Also, Mary Chris has discerned that moderating isn't what the Lord wants for her right now. What you all may not know is that she is the inspiration behind this board. She was persistent in "selling" the idea to me and to Tim and Janette. She had a vision for a unique community and she was so right! I'm grateful to her for all her help and the very valuable contributions she's made here. Notice that it took three people to replace her .

Stay tuned to welcome the new moderators and to enjoy fresh summer conversations.

I would like to add my heartfelt appreciation to all of you ladies. This board has been a huge blessing to me in a time when I have felt quite isolated for many reasons.
God Bless You All!!!

Well, you're very welcome!

And, I think Elizabeth meant that it will take FIVE of us to replace Mary Chris --

Fireside Chat has always been a wonderful part of this forum; I'm glad to be able to help keep it going.

Blessings to one and all!

Well, there are four listed and I guess that needs explaining. Just days before her wee bairn was born, Lissa agreed to handle organizing the deluge of blogging questions. She is a moderator on this board solely to be our resident blog expert (and we really couldn't do it without her). But I'm sticking with my promise that "only" blogging questions are to take her time here. She's sort of busy with a few other things .

Five? Who did I miss?
