Hi volunteers,

At one point we discussed having people greet new volunteers who have recently 
joined the list. I haven't had very many people email me directly expressing 
interest so I thought I'd post here.  For anyone interested in greeting others, 
Alisa and I were thinking that it could just be as simple as posting to the 
list once or twice a week with a friendly note to welcome anyone new.

It could be as simple as: "Hi to anyone new to this discussion list! Welcome! 
Please feel free to introduce yourself and don't hesitate to ask questions."

While we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome, we don't want to clog up 
the list with chatty posts. We kindly request that if anyone is feeling 
especially friendly, please make sure no one else has already sent a greeting 
recently (in the last few days) before posting. We shall see how this works, 
and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback, whether positive or negative!

Thanks and have a great rest of the day!

Best,

Madeleine Linares
