Update: November 7, 2007

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007 marked the first transition of the bridge leadership team. The bLT has done a great job in not only bringing great program, fun and service to the members, but also in defining our mission statement, developing a working timeline for Wednesday nights and keeping us informed about all the great plans.

Gracias to Amy for being the only one in bridge history to finish a book (she did two!). Congratulations on your new job. We all miss you. Ashok, thanks for your service and leadership. We also thank you for your great place to party at the beach. Just kidding, we all thank you for your time and effort to make our group run smoothly as well as your hospitality. With all that she had going on at home (day and night:), Jen answered e-mails and contributed to the organization of our successful group, even though she was often unable to come. Thanks! We owe a giant thanks to Rachel for starting this blog and keeping it up to date! For keeping up the calendar and the e-mail list. And for making sure that we all know what's going on and what we can look forward to each week.

I am excited to follow such a dedicated team, although I get the feeling that you made it look easier than it is. Helping newcomers Shannon and David are Sarah and Ellen who will continue their service for the next six months. Thank you both for everything that you have done for our group and for continuing to give your talents to provide a great transition for the bridge leadership team.

Thanks are also necessary for everyone (both on the bLT and not) who facilitated programs for us on Wednesday nights. You have given us all things to think about as we go about our daily lives.

Well, I actually just came here to say that we had an awesome Game Night on Nov 7 that would have been enjoyed by "Santa Claus who ate all his Halloween candy in one day" and "Toto with a brand new squeeky toy". (if you don't understand that, you should come to the next game night (Dec 7!) and to encourage everyone to come next Wednesday when Noel facilitates a great program.

See you Wednesday,
Shannon

Rachel,

I was putting in the dates from Sarah's minutes and David's b-day was on there so I put it in the calendar. Then I remembered that there are a lot of bdays this month so I put in the ones from your bridge list. There weren't that many (a lot of people didn't give their bdays). And, you can have it repeat yearly, so once it's put on, it's there every year:)

Anyone else reading this. If your birthday isn't listed it's because you didn't give it to Rachel when you gave her your other info. e-mail thebridge.fumc@gmail.com and I will put yours in, too.

I am posting a comment to commemorate the fact that I actually read the blog! Good news though, I RSS'd it so as long as you keep writing, I'll keep reading!
Happy T-Day!
