Hi everyone,

2005 was a good year for DINET. We saw a terrific increase in membership, with new people signing up daily. By the end of 2005, DINET had grown to 963 members.

There was a considerable increase in forum membership as well. A total of 362 new people joined our forum in the past year, and we had 27,111 new posts. In fact, our forum has grown so large that I have a hard time keeping up with it, as well as my other DINET responsibilities. As a result, Nina Wilde will be dedicating herself to our forum's administration duties and Melissa Mambort will become head moderator in the year 2006.

Please send forum-related questions and comments to Nina at dinetsupport@verizon.net.

Thank you,

Michelle Sawicki

I just want to take this opportunity to again thank you all for the terrific job you do with this forum. It is so important.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this absolutely wonderful forum. You time and effort has touched many lives including mine. I have no idea where I would go and who I would turn to, if I didn't have dinet. You've given me hope, comfort, and friendship that is helping me through our illness.
Thank you again for blessing my life with this!

Nicole

I also think you guys are doing a great job. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments, guys. You're the greatest!

Michelle

Yes, thank you for all that you do!!!

Have a question that is probably stupid though... what is the difference in membership vs. forum membership? Are they not the same?

Hi,

Joining the forum does not automatically add you to the DINET member list. If you want to receive email notifications when newsletters are published and the opportunity to join the Meet Others Program, than you need to fill out the join form at: www.dinet.org/join.htm

Take care,

Michelle
