Default The NEXT Boom...
As many of you know, our fearless Boomerang Friendship Swap leaderApril is stepping back from swaps for the foreseeable future. We’ve been in contact over the last several weeksculminating in a phone call and final decision yesterday. April isn’t leaving the board, (you can seeshe’s still here finishing up Boom 10!) she’s simply stepping back for now andshe’s turned the Boom reins over to me. I’m going to lead Boom 11 in her stead and I hope to do her hard workjustice. Boom 10 folks, I want to let youknow that I’m not hijacking her program, just running it in her place, with herpermission, and that of the Board. Iparticipated in Boom 10 in the Maia group and had a great experience. I knew instantly following April’sannouncement here that it would be a shame to let the Booms die. It wasn’t going to happen, not if I couldhelp, it so I approached her and here we are. <o></o>
April’s been at this for about 4 years and has her systemdown to a science. I see no need forchanges so we’re not going to mess with it. Sign-ups will begin sometime late next week; please be on the lookoutfor the post. We’ll have Fast and Slowgroups, running 2 months and 4 months respectively. Also, although the last couple of swaps havebeen only Small groups of 16 or so, I’ll open it up to the option of Largegroups as well if there is enough interest. All skill levels are welcome. Sign-upswill run about 3 weeks or so, depending upon interest. (If you have concerns about starting a Boomat this time of year, you might want to consider doing a Slow group to allowyourself plenty of time.) It will takeme several days to make sure I’ve got everything in order and then I’ll postthe groups and off we’ll go. <o></o>
I do plan to be very active and on top of the day to daygoings on. If you have any questions, I’lloften be able to answer them the same day but please allow me 48 hours,especially over the weekends. I want toassure everyone that I’ll do the best I can to make Boom 11 run as seamlesslyas possible and to be enjoyable for all. <o></o>
It’s time to start thinking about your fabric choices, as ifmany of you haven’t since Boom 10 ended! Be looking for the sign-up post toward the end of next week. As usual, the details will be in there. Thanks everyone! <o></o>
