Welcome!!!! (Please Read) « Thread Started on Oct 26, 2004, 2:39pm »
I would like to take this time to welcome you to our new family forum designed to provide information and interaction. I have a passion for gathering family. Hang around long enough and you can become our "folk" too!
This forum's primary focus is "the family" that is slowly becoming extinct. I'm sure you will agree that there are "real life" issues out there which plague our families. Here, we can bring them to the table, discuss them and together come up with solutions. We can also smile, laugh and even cry together if need be. That's what family does...right?
We welcome everyone including your family, friends, co-workers, email buddies, etc.. to register and participate. We're never too old to learn and there is much we can gain from each other by way of our knowledge, failures and accomplishments. It's just a matter of our willingness to share! Feel free to reply and start threads in the related areas with topics that interest you....
