Wow, I just took a look at how many members were online just now. I am wondering if there was heavy promotion at conference or if the majority of "newbies" are here for other reasons.
 
I think a lot of people knew that today would be the day we could start talking about Conference announcements, so folks who didn't go came here to get the dirt.

I didn't talk up CS as much as I should have, but I hung around mostly with CSers. :)
 
I talked about it alot and my cluster thought it was great when I would run into someone I knew!!
 
A lot of people noticed our badges (thanks, Ann!) and that helped a lot!

Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges.
 
I'm bummed that nobody said anything about the star "ribbons" we had. I thought that was a cute idea.
 
I gave out about 5 or 6 cards with www.chefsuccess.com written on the back of them as my "tip".
 
I've told my cluster mates about it and a few new friends I met at conference about all the awesome information that is shared here.
 
I told my cluster mates that I am now on the message board and they think I am CRAZY!!! They love the flyers and stuff though.

I loved all three of mine.

I just don't know what happened to the other two.
 
My director hates me being a member here. She doesn't like that I know things before she tells me and often before she knows them herself.
 
I got asked lots of questions about the ribbon .... and my button thanks to ANN!!!
 
Ann - we loved the buttons and Paige Ribbons. THANKS! A lot of people were asking about the ribbons. I had quite a few people that are members of CS see my button and talk to me but that didn't go to the meet n greets or get a button as they were lurkers! Come out come out lurkers!
 
CS is wonderful!

I hope Rae doesn't misread this and think you are talking about badgers. The Furry Guy might want to cook it !! :eek: :D
 
I just joined a few days ago-thanks to my recruiter, Cathy! She told me about it because I was unhappy with another loop I was on. It worked out to be perfect timing, because I could not go to conference this year, so really enjoyed today seeing all the conference info!
 
Welcome! There is so much good stuff here.
 
I talked to all kinds of people about CS. Several of them wrote down the website address. I'm hoping they'll join.

They were an excellent idea. I think they are what drew lots of attention to my CS button, which allowed me to talk to people about it.

Badgers? Hmmm. I don't think we have any of those running around the back yard. That's where The Furry Guy gets most of his, um, unique cuisine. Of course, they may have badger at Jungle Jim's. If so, we'll be trying some this fall.

Here are the badgers.
 
If I was able to recruit as many people to be consultants as I did to CS, I'd be an advanced director in a month! CS was my tip also...and I told EVERYONE about it! A lot of people were quite excited to hear about it!
 
I was spreading the CS love....and lots of folks asked about my Paige ribbon, too.
