I saw your recent post on G2G and wanted to invite you to join in our "Weekend Chat".
It's a popular weekly G2G post where many the members visit and share in a variety of topics. New people say "Hi" and introduce themselves, Leaders and Mentors give tips and answer questions, and regulars share updates on their latest projects and victories... anything they wish to chat about. I most enjoy stories of famous or nefarious ancestors.
We'd love to hear form you, stop in when you're able!
