[CBW_Exec] acebook group page for CBW (we have 55 friends already!)

Mon Feb 9 21:39:02 CST 2009

Hi, all--

Sorry I¹m so very late getting into this conversation (we hosted a
conference last week and I¹m only beginning a frantic climb up Mt. Forgotten
Duties). 

Thanks for your great support of Susan¹s great idea! Barb had some great
ideas about the viability of other networking sites, too. She¹s given me
permission to share those with you, which I will in a moment.

Thanks, as well, to Susan for setting up the site and inviting folks to
join. As of tonight (a few days in), we already have 55 friends. That sounds
pretty good to me!

Thanks again! Looking forward to seeing all of you very, very soon.

Best, 
Shannon
