Hunter1

Hunter1 is a PBS Tour Guide, the hostess of the Diva Swap, and check out her avatar- very appropriate for Valentine’s Day, we think!  Some of the comments we got about Hunter1:

“She is always diplomatic and caring. She fosters a sense of caring and sharing amongst all of us.“

“I enjoy talking to her every month on the Diva Board in the game section….Plus who doesn’t like somebody who bakes fantastic desserts and then share the recipes!“

“As a tour guide and live help worker, she has been wonderful. She has had a lot of patience with my novice questions. .”

We have gotten SO many reports about Jacquelyn’s kindness and helpfulness as a Tour Guide. She has done so much to help new (and even not-so-new) members navigate the site, and they write in spontaneously to let us know. Some of the comments we have gotten:

“Somehow I got stuck putting my wish list on a vacation hold, though I have no plans to go anywhere any time soon (unfortunately). I could not find a way of removing the hold, so … I contacted a Tour Guide. She was very, very nice and competent and I’d like to mention her by name: Jacquelyn O. (JJO)”

“Due to the hurricane, I was out of electricity for 9 days. It just got up tonight, and I found that books had been ordered and eventually cancelled due to my not responding….[Jacquelyn’s] answer sure took care of a lot of questions I have for now and for the future!! She is terrific.”

“I’m not very computer-savvy…I was feeling a little intimidated, but Jacquelyn helped me get started and now I feel at home.  She is really wonderful – give her a gold star!”

“I’m sure I asked her questions she has answered many times before, but she didn’t act like that was the case…She seemed really glad to help me and was very friendly…”

“Manny” is well-known to anyone who frequents the forums.  She’s “a girl, dammit” – as her blinkie says.  We have been getting nominations for Chris for a long time.  Some of the nominating comments:

“…Highly intelligent with an off the wall sense of humor and a good heart, this gal is always interesting and fun to follow…”

“She’s always very nice to everyone. Oh, and she writes letters and sends them snail mail on homemade stationary to several people. She’s one cool chick!”

“She is consistently kind and levelheaded, and always helpful when possible….”

“Chris has helped many members with her image tutorial. She’s always kind and helpful … She hosts fun swaps! She’s thoughtful, writing notes to members on her handmade paper, sending surprise books and hot cocoa and just an all-around nice person! She makes PBS a great place to hang out!”

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!”

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!

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!
