The RETURN OF AROID-L

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.06.14 at 03:15:36(6727) Aroid-L stopped - You didn't know WHY? I don't know if its my role but I am helping. The Interlude made ME realise how I missed the IAS Members Dialogue. Aroid L is hosted by two incredibly dedicated people and only operates with them on line. Firstly, Don, who is presently less than 100%, please write your "Get Well Cards" through Aroid L for downloading by people who visit him until he is back. Secondly, Steve, now back, today & operating SOLO, so please Aroid-L him him your goodwill & thanks of you wish. It made me realise how much those two great guys did for Aroid-L, IAS Members and Non-Members. Thank you from ME! The IAS Web Site took ENORMOUS DEDICATION & CONTINUING COMMITMENT. It didn;t happen by Magic! But it CAN be turned into a Site bigger and bigger and more and more wonderful. For that alone I would have joined the IAS. But behind the scenes, the really GREAT Folks, kind, thoughtful, funny, expert, helpful, my God, we will just HAVE TO HAVE a "WHO'S WHO IN THE IAS" on Aroid-L. Scott who is UNBELIEVLY KIND & SO HELPFUL & central to the main IAS Web Site, quiet, inconspicuous, Tricia, the high efficiency Treasurer etc who quietly gets on with her job ....they are Treasures. And....there's more, I have yet to find a Member who I did not like and who I could not regard as a FRIEND, a rare accolade I assure you. As the "Interlude" very well evidenced, Life would be SO much poorer without the Community of MEMBERS of the IAS. Non-Members PLEASE join our Community so we can get bigger, and better and do more and more GOOD. The sooner more and more do themselves and us all REAL FAVOURS & become MEMBERS, the more WE can make things happen! So, EVERYBODY, thank you for your past, present and FUTURE POSITIVITY. The Group which started as a Group of great Florida enthusiasts is now expanding into a hopefully equally wonderful group of co-operating and co-ordinating WORLD FRIENDS. If you spectate and contribute a lot to Aroid-L, now please is the time to send your JOINING FORM with Credit Card Number for which, thank you. Cheers Ron +More So as a newish Member, now NewsEd, the dynamically evolving challenge accorded me, THANK YOU OFFICERS & MEMBERS for being the GREAT FOLKS I have found you to be more and more AFTER I joined. Get Well
