On behalf of the 1,395 newbies in the Fall/Winter class, I want to thank our Welcoming Ambassadors Christy2, EbonyDIL, Foiles, Gertrude, LivingWell, Ozzy, Schwing, StillBarbM, SuddenlySense for a job well done!
The Ambassadors did an outstanding job setting the tone and helping newbies find their way. Their efforts have made a huge difference to many.
The number of new members that post is up 180% from a year and a half ago - more people are finding the resources here to be useful in their struggles with a loved one affected by BPD.
Few understand the amount of time invested by the Ambassadors answering new threads, contacting people by PM, and working with the current members to find a home for the new members... but anyone who has encountered them knows how compassionate and giving a group they are.
Thankyou Christy2, EbonyDIL, Foiles, Gertrude, LivingWell, Ozzy, Schwing, StillBarbM, and SuddenlySense. And a special thank you to Gertrude, LivingWell, and SuddenlySense, who are multi-term Ambassadors...
From all of us
