Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 6243 comments Mod
Hello, friends. At the beginning of the year, we will have a changing of the guard here at CFD.

Leaving...

Our dear friend Loraine will be stepping down as a moderator to pursue other things. She's been a co-moderator since 2010 and has loved seeing the group grow. She's still going to be participating in our challenges, because she will remain an avid reader and loves the friends she's made here. Loraine, we wish you all the best for this new phase of life! Thank you for being a treasured part of our team all this time.

Entering...

Another of our dear friends, Kate, will be joining Staci, Beth, and myself as a co-moderator of the group. Kate has been an active member of CFD for many years. She loves Jesus and cherishes reading books that tug her heart closer to His. Kate, we hope that your time as a co-moderator is a blessing--to our members and to yourself. Thank you for joining the team!

I'm excited to be more of service in this group. Many of you feel like very dear friends already, and I look forward in hope that I'll get to know many more of you!
Loraine was the 'CFD Momma' . . . and I'd be honoured to be considered your 'CFD Friend'.

message 21: by Karin (new)

Karin | 44 comments Hi Andrea :)

I am posting this here since you don't take any messages on GR. There is a broken link on your website for Springtime in Surrey, the one that is supposed to lead to the book page on GR.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 6243 comments Mod
Thank you, Karin. I'll go fix that.

On which page of my site was it, please? The one on the books page seems to be working.

I can't remember, but I was able to get to the other book pages; only that one said it was broken.

It's working today, so perhaps it was just a glitch that day.
