I made my goal of 1000 books, with all your's help, a little earlier than expected and have currently 1004 in the collection. I also, met with my supervisor on Monday and am officially a completely full fledged Civil Servant, no longer on probation! Which is a huge thing in our office. As now I can just do my own paperwork rather than having my supervisor approve it all. it is a good feeling, smile. But it has been a good New years for me. And I am hoping for some many other spectacular things in 2009. Now, can I remember not to write 2008 on the checks. Shelley L.

The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944) To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
