DonRocks Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 A lot of times we all get busy and forget to thank the people who labor behind the scenes. hillvalley has put in dozens of hours helping with the membership and the events here, and if it wasn't for her, this community wouldn't have been able to blossom like it has. Some people have assumed that she's being paid for her efforts. Here's my response to that: "With what?" I don't have much else to add except a sincere Thank You! to the engine that runs this machine. Buy her a drink next time you see her!

StephenB Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hillvalley is one of those rare creatures who combine charm, tenacity and efficiency. She's a major reason this board is loads more fun than the competition. And she conducted the dinner at Ray's like Toscanini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotteeM Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I raise my glass to the fabulous Hillvalley and say, "Hear, hear!"

I would hope that there is not any problem with this. Just trying to head it off at the pass anyone got any problems with that should see mdt and me Hillvalley puts in a LOT of work on these events that people don't see or know about (Don too!) Even if we can't all go to every event (for whatever reason) there will be more and there are plenty of informal gatherings too! So thanks again for making these great opportunities available - we are very lucky to have someone who gives so much time and energy to make these (very) special events possible.

hillvalley Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thank you to everyone for your kind comments. It has been a rough few weeks in my nonboard life and having this thread to look over has been a huge help. All the work that I do is worth the company it brings. And special thanks to those who have quneched my thirst the last two nights. I am able to get through another Fist Fight Friday because of your generosity in time and spirits.
