And here’s the item that Steven had linked to…(reposted from last week).

Last week in New Orleans we celebrated WebJunction’s third birthday at our annual members’ reception – we officially turned a year older on May 12. I was delighted to see some friendly new faces (Walt, Patrick) along with some old friends (Janie, Jim, Justine, Cassandra, Leslie, more…) in the crowd. My only disappointment is that I was a bit distracted in the first few moments (running settling both program and catering details) that I didn’t get to mingle and catch up with nearly as many folks as I would have liked. Did everyone have a good time? It did seem that a good time was had by all.

I was especially proud during this event to bestow our first ever member awards to WJ member choices for stellar volunteer work in our community. The lucky honorees were Harry Pike, Douglas Lord (moderators), Bob Watson (contributor), Mala Muralidharan (editor), and Linda Gens (advocate). We also honored Cassandra Osterloh as our Member of the Year – she was nominated by multiple members across all four categories!! Congrats to all – and thanks for all you do at WJ.

Those of you who were there – was lovely to see you. Those of you who could not make it – we missed you, but you were certainly there in spirit!! Hope to see you next year…
