Our Growing Membership and Need for Hosts?

Hi, everyone! It's fun to see Vitiligo Friends growing so much, but I feel terribly guilty that I'm not doing a good job welcoming new members. I'm in the middle of almost 9 straight weeks of travel for work, and I wondered if we might want to organize a small committee of folks who'd be willing to take this on so that my lack of time doesn't limit the value of the network. Some of you do this already (many thanks to you!), so I guess I'm just suggesting that by making this a little more organized we could make sure that those who might be coming to the site with some emotional pain because of their Vitiligo would really benefit from concerted attention when they join. Are there some of you who'd be willing to be volunteer "hosts" for Vitiligo Friends? The duties could be very simple: 1. Leave a welcoming comment on wall of any new members. 2. Look for or be aware of discussions where someone has not received a response and reply back. 3. Encourage other members whenever it looks like they need an extra boost. 4. Any other suggestions you have! Is anyone willing to volunteer? If you do, I can feature you as a host on the member page so people know they can also come to you with any questions. Thanks for being such a great, supportive community. I know that my own feelings about my Vitiligo have DRAMATICALLY improved since getting to know you, and I can't imagine not having this support group. With Appreciation, Steve

Steve, I would love to serve as a host. I try to welcome new people as often as I can. Please let me know what needs to be done further.

  You've been great! I've added you. See the general members page and you'll see yourself there as a host. Just keep welcoming and looking for folks who need special attention. Maybe anyone who's joined but never been welcomed?
