Wow, I went out for a few hours today and you guys went wild! I had a lot of catching up to do. I think this is a wonderful idea and very, very kind of Mathew to suggest. I would also be willing to help in any way that I can. Thank you Mathew! I never belonged to the previous newsletter, didn't know about it, but I would love to be a part of this one.
