COL addition

[Tera, First Chick]

I have been doing COL for almost 3 years now. Less than 4 months till our anniversary! I LOVE CoL. It has fulfilled every wish I had for it when I started. It is a great place for women to discuss books, share thoughts, and create friendships. I have seen all these things happen through the years. I am NOT leaving CoL or stepping down but as the group continues to grow I feel the need to bring in another moderator. I don't want to burn out and I also want everyone to have available to them the attention I was able to give to a smaller group.
With that in mind I have been considering adding a moderator for some time now and finally feel like it's time to pull the trigger on it.
I have known Sheila for almost 12 years now and I cant say enough good things about her. I actually met her through another online group (not a reading group) that she was the moderator of. When I started CoL her style was one I looked to emulate. I am sure many of you know her from group discussions and multiple threads. She has been an active member since the day she joined and reads maybe every genre out there. If you don't follow her reads consider it she reads such a wide range of books and at an amazing pace!
So, I am happy beyond measure to add Sheila as a new moderator to COL and am confident she will fit into the role effortlessly.
Thanks

Thank you Tera and other ladies. This group is, and always will be, Tera's baby, but I am honored to help her in any way she needs. And even though my general profile is set to private, I will happily accept any friends requests from any of the Chicks, who would like to check me and my book shelves out. I look forward to many continued, wonderful book discussion with all the chicks here. :o)

Congrats Sheila!

Woohoo! Sheila! We are so lucky to have you as part of our leadership team here at COL. Thanks for stepping up and accepting the responsibility.

And Tera, thanks for all you have done and continue to do as moderator of COL. I consider myself very lucky to have stumbled across COL when I first joined GR and began looking for a group to join. I know that the quality of the conversations I have encountered here is, in large part, due to your wonderful leadership.
