[NTLUG:Announce] Thank You!

[announce-admin@ntlug.org]

I want to thank everyone who came out for the Linux Fair!
Thanks for everyone who volunteered and especially those
who stepped forward for those "unplanned" necessities.
You guys (and gals) are super!

I am pleased to announce our newly appointed board members:

Mark Bickel
J. Jentink
Peter Koren
Travis Farral

Existing board (in case you ever wondered):

Chris Cox
Stuart Yarus
Rick Cook

I'm looking forward to the next 5 years.  Today I heard
a lot of good input of challenging things.... and exciting
ideas for the group!  As we move forward a couple of things
to keep in mind... things that have helped NTLUG to
survive:

We (NTLUG) are all just volunteers.
   - We forget things.
   - We drop things.
   - We make mistakes.
   - We say things we regret.
   - We get frustrated.
   - We dream.
   - We plan.
   - We hope.
   - We encourage each other.
   - We do get discouraged.

PLEASE do not feel that your input in not important or is
being ignored.  PLEASE be persistent if you thing you have
a good idea or suggestion for the group.  Often times,
no response DOES NOT mean a negative response.  Keep
reminding each other of things.... don't be afraid to
post ideas to the group for discussion.... and don't
get discouraged if a few flame back at you(!).... but let's
try to keep the flames to a minimum (please).  Save those things
for Slashdot... where they will never be read and will
never get a Score higher than 1 :-)

Let's have another 5 years as fun as the last!
Chris
