Nominations for Connie have been coming in for a long while.  She has a quiet but passionate “fan base” in the club.  Those who sent in comments with their nominations all touched on the same qualities they feel make Connie special:

“…one of the kindest, most sincere people on this site…”

“..honestly cares about people…”

“She is always kind and caring.  And she puts on some great swaps in the games!”

Connie, ferrets may love you, but they’re not alone!   You are clearly well-loved by humans too.  You are our Member of the Month for November. Congratulations!

Kari has been piling up nominations for a long while, and lately the votes have been pouring in:

“I love reading whatever Kari posts – when I see the avatar of the cat with its wise-looking profile, I know the post will be thoughtful, insightful and kind.  Kari is a gem.”

“She’s eloquent, caring, civil — even when things get heated…She’ll come along with a zinger when everyone needs a laugh, or will offer support when someone is testing out a theory. She’s a conscientious addition to our board.”

“Through heated political debates that are happening this time of year, she keeps a cool head, and presents lots of information from a variety of sources and angles. She deepens everyones knowledge about each of the issues and candidates, and is a valuable asset to the forums.”

Kari, everyone seems to agree that you are balm for the forum soul! You are our Member of the Month for August. Congratulations!

Member of the Month- September 2008

Nominations for Tammy have been coming in since we began the MoM feature.  Some of the comments we got about Tammy:

“She always has something insightful to say with a twist of humor. She often lightens the mood on the forums.”

“She is a kind woman, who does nice things for people without flaunting it. I think that it would be great for her to get some recognition for everything that she has brought to the PBS community. I can’t say enough about what a great friend that she has been to so many of us, and how much she has brightened up the place by sharing her humor and her fabulous story telling abilities. I love Tammy, and I think she should be Member of the Month.”

Tammy, clearly the monkey avatar is not the only thing that is rockin’ about you! You are our Member of the Month for August. Congratulations!

Member of the Month – August 2008

Many members expressed their appreciation to Liese for her efforts in compiling many of Lester (ThreeCats)’s forum posts into a topic for all of our members to enjoy!  Lester’s words are truly inspirational and he will be missed terribly in the club.   We are lucky that Lester shared so much with us, and we know that it was a lot of work to organize the topic.  It is a wonderful tribute to Lester–who was MoM himself in May–and it will keep him with us.

If you haven’t seen the topic, it is “stickied” at the top of the Club Members’ Thoughts Discussion Forum here.

Liese, thanks so much for doing this!

You are our Member of the Month for August. Congratulations!

Here are some of the comments we got with nominations for Melody:

She is so much fun to follow in the forum threads with her fresh ideas, good sense, humor and interesting bits of trivia pulled from her travels on the internet. She … always has help or clues where to get info on a multitude of subjects. I consider her a true friend.”

“…She really keeps us on our toes in the political arena. She’s fab not only in the Current Events forum but also in CMT. Sometimes I’d be lost without her!”

“She is always so friendly and level headed, and she starts many interesting discussions.”

“Melody is such a positive force at PBS.  Fun and funny, calm and kind…she adds something to every topic she posts in.  I love to see ‘the dog’ avatar on a post because I know it will be something I’ll be glad I read.”

Melody, your posts in Forums seem to be music to everyone’s ears!  You are our Member of the Month for June. Congratulations!

Anyone who frequents the Forums will not be at all surprised by this! Lester is a most beloved PBS member.  Nominations have been coming in for Lester for a long time, and this month he is the member who has accumulated the most “votes”.  Here are just some of the comments we got with the nominations:

“He’s a kind man with wonderful words of comfort for so many people; plus, I like his dry wit!”

“What an amazing man! His posts on the forums are always full of wisdom and grace and he is such a gentleman! Everyone loves Lester – he is a true asset to PBS!”

“He’s been an excellent influence in the forums and a pleasure to hear from.”

“His voice of wisdom is an amazing asset to the PBS community. At 80 years, still going strong, he is a person to admire.”

“He always has a kind word or sage advice for those on the forums. He makes it a joy to be a member of PBS. I’d love to adopt him as a grandfather!”

“…he’s compassionate, funny, intelligent and helpful. I enjoy his posts and his personality! Although it would be funny to see “MoM” next to his name..he deserves [to be Member of the Month].”

“He hangs in there with us crazy women in CMT and he is quick to reply with a kind thought, or helpful response.”

So there you go, Lester!  You are PBS’s Member of the Month for May…AND you get your MoM icon just in time for Mother’s Day!

As many of you know, Ani is the Co-Coordinator of the Games Moderators, and keeps Games running smoothly for the club.  She is also a Tour Guide, and she has been an active member of PBS since 7/25/2005.  Some of the comments we received along with nominations of Ani were:

As the hostess for the tea swap, she runs one of the largest swaps on the boards, and it’s kept up with brilliantly. And for me, as a new swap hostess, she has been wonderful both for moderating my swaps and just generally showing me the ropes and encouraging me. She is a great person on the forums and for the site overall.”

“Ani is always ready to help in any way possible…. She is positive, fun and a great person.”

Ani, we think you are great, no April-foolin’!  You have swapped a lot of books at PBS and you manage the Games Mods with conscientiousness and kindness.  Tour Guiding on top of that is a tall order, but there seems no end to your energy.  Thanks, Ani, for all you do to make PBS fun for new and old members alike!  You are our Member of the Month for April.
