One last message tonight... Then I will be quiet, promise.. First of all, congratulations to both Paula and Debbie on their anniversaries... You are both terrific and our WIGenWeb Project visitors have benefited greatly from all your hard work! The last couple of days I have been pondering all the changes and additions to WIGenWeb Project over the last year. I have tried to tell each of you individually what a terrific job you are doing, but I may have been remiss at times. All of you have just gone for it, and for that commitment to WIGenWeb, USGenWeb, and most importantly to your visitors, you should be very proud! I know that I am, of each and every one of you! I asked a friend recently what we could do to celebrate WI, and how all of you could take a well deserved bow for a job well done.. And her response was ASK them... Very good advice! (I always take good advice.. Thank you Holly!) I would like to hear from each of you on the list.. how you would celebrate WI! What each of you have accomplished over the last year, and what you would like to see the next year bring to the WIGenWeb Project. I celebrate the fact that I have so many wonderful CC's providing so many resources to our visitors. I just marvel at your work!! I thank each and every one of you for your commitment and dedication. And I thank you all for putting up with me, a "girl from away" that has been welcomed to WI with such enthusiasm and grace! I award you all a "Moo"ving WIGenWeb to EXCELLENCE AWARD!! You are all "udderly" terrific.. <groan if you want, I am sincere!> Tina

Here is something to "chew on". Maybe not the "cream of the crop" as ideas go, but "fodder for thought". How about taking a slow month, such as January or February and having a "Celebration of Wisconsin". Think of a snappy theme and invite the CC's from every other state in the union (through their State officials) to come and enjoy what we have to present to the world (we could even send invites to the World Counties). They could use their various lists to spred the word. I think we have something pretty special here to offer. Maybe have scheduled days and times for open chat discussions and exchange ideas, thoughts, concerns, needs, etc. Warm and wonderful Wisconsin is the approach! We don't have to change anything on the sites except maybe to put out the welcome mat. Or we could use my uncle's barn and put on a musical show !?! Oh, yah, that's been done already.(Can't carry a tune in a bucket or dance a step anyway). Oh, well, just thought I would "whip up" a little enthusiasm if possible. There are a "bushel" of opportunities here. All we have to do is bring the whole "herd" in for "milking". :0) Rita - Oconto County http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/ WIGenWebProject@aol.com wrote: > One last message tonight...
