Welcome to Our First Community Leader: QueenMama!

[Goddess]

Hello, all. I wanted to take a moment to welcome our very first "Community Leader," QueenMama (aka Nita)! As member of LCE since 2005, Nita has a long history of helping other folks and giving lots of encouragement and support to the members of this community, and I'm pleased to have the opportunity to officially acknowledge her contributions.

Community Leaders are new to LCE. We have many helpful and knowledeable members who go the extra mile to help others and postiviely adding to the community at large. Adding the role of Community Leader helps to acknowledge the contributions folks are already making. As time goes on, we may experiment with this role and definitely will look to add more Community Leaders to the roster. We'll take some time to see exactly how this works out for our particular group, however, before adding new Leaders.

To clarify: Community Leaders are not moderators and don't have administrative dutes. If you have a concern with a particular post, are having technical difficulty with the forums, have a question about approrpriate posts, or need any type of administrative help (i.e. moving a thread, changing a post title, etc.), please continue to direct your requests to any of the LCE Moderators or Admins.

A special thanks to Nita, who agreed to be the first Community Leader, as well as to all our other members who so thoughtfully spend their time here giving support and encouragment to others as well as getting support and encouragment for themsevles. You are appreciated.

Congratulations, Nita! And thank you very much for all you do.

Oh Nita!! I'm so happy for you! You are perfect for the job my friend. You always know just what to say to make me feel loved which is why QueenMama is the perfect name for you.

WooT, Nita!

I'm really
happy to see you earn this recognition.

... I'll admit that I can't even remember which side of the BS debate you were part of! (but I'm SURE you were not against them. LOL! )

that would be the great brussel sprout wars, i believe? because others who were not active paricpants of that friendly but spirited veggie worthiness conflict may be confused...

[QueenMama]

Maggie, I'm all FOR bs, lightly steamed with lots of butter.

Yeah, brussels sprouts, not baking soda, or brown shoes, or bean salad, or anything else!

Nita - Congratulations! Well deserved recognition!

Yep and don't forget brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon fat!

[Maggie]

LOL! Yeah. Brussle Sprouts was the reference.

Sometimes I can abbreviate to the point of incomprehensibility.
