[Ravensfort] Fwd: [Gatesedge] Good words from another list...

[Shane Wallace]

Greetings to all,

I agree 100%.... The officers and the populace of a group has obligations to 
the group.... If the populace of a group doesn't get active the group is 
doomed.... All members of a group should be active in their group and 
supportive of their local group. I think our biggest problem in the barony 
is Procrastination, but this is an easily fix problem... Like a baroness 
once told me.... "Just do it ! ! !"..... This is a good posting that HL 
Annes put on the Gatesedge List, she is very kind and wise...

In Service,
Malcolm
