People do not always quote or respond, even if your contribution is significant and helpful. Everyone's posts are all part of the mix of what makes the ship, regardless.I think we can all contribute to making the ship a great place to be, regardless of whether we are old or new members; whether we knew Erin well, or not at all. It would be really good to think that we have outgrown needing a kick up the ass to make us do what is right.

quote:Originally posted by Annie P: Years ago, we did Artist's meets, where we were creative in anyway possible. The thought crossed my mind that perhaps we should do another one this year in memory of Erin. If some of the stuff was good enough to sell, we could then give money to the Erin fund.

quote: This tragedy has convinced me it's time to come back to the Ship on a regular basis, after several years of, at best, sporadic participation. I'd forgotten the strength of the community, and the caring atmosphere it enables. Bless you all.
