The SFR Brigade is moving ahead at warp speed. So much so that it left our chief facilitator (that would be me *waves*) in its space dust this week. Hopefully all new recruits have now been signed in. If you requested membership and haven't been contacted or added to the Brigade Member roster, please let us know. The transmission sequence is: SFRpreview @ gmail . com (without spaces).
The State of the Crew
As of this moment we have 73 members! (Like Michigan weather, wait a minute it'll change. :) ) Our next goal of "75 by Friday" looks very possible (understatement). The addition of all these members may mean we need to redivvy up the posting days. More later.
We Heart Our Volunteers!
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to take on some duty time with the Brigade. This community couldn't keep running without them. It takes a community. :)
Our New "Officers on Deck" (Yea!)
Kaye Manro (Also working details on a possible web site. Thanks, Kaye!)
Leslie Dow
Liana Brooks
L. L. Rosser
Vicky Burkholder
Our New Book Tagging Party Coordinator (Hip! Hip! Hooray!)
Sandy Stixrude
Publishing House Spotlight
We also have several authors working on a proposed publishing house spotlight to be held in the mid-May timeframe and another sometime this fall. Thanks to all of you for your efforts. Three cheers!
Conference Insertion Teams
Several members have reported they'll be attending one or more conferences this summer, and we're working the logistics to design some initial buttons and information cards they can have onhand. We also had tons of great suggestions for a motto.
There's a big event at RT we hope to man with volunteers, and we have a member scouting the possibility of a Bazaar table and informal get-together at RWA. And all Brigaders will be invited to do posts, and send reports, pictures, and YouTubes during and after the conferences. More details to come.

I sure hate to give away a point, but pretty sure you awarded me one for the agency posting last week! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done, Laurie!! You are a star.
ReplyDeleteOh and Raelene Gorlinsky of Ellora's Cave will contribute in May when we give her a date. If not her, then someone will be delegated.
Oh my, Sharon, I just checked and you are right. OK, I'll update the standings and edit the post. Thanks for your honesty.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, that sounds wonderful. We'll announce dates shortly, but it will probably be a five day window during one week. Oh, and I see you changed your user name. :)
