Made you open this thread, didn't I? Did I confuse you yet? LOL :p

Actually, my OLD Director, almost a year ago, gave up her directorship and PC for personal reasons. Now, she's missing it and is ready to get back in the game, and she wants to be my recruit!!! How cool is that? Her and I became very close friends and I'm so excited for her because she's great at it!! And, she'll be an awesome addition to my team! :)

Just thought I would share my excitement! :D
 
Marie-France, That is so cool!!! Great news for you!!! Congrats!
 
WoooHoo! That is great for BOTH of you!
 
Way to go!
 
That is so cool, good luck.
 
Congratulations Marie-France!

How nice to know you have a recruit who "gets it", and will be consistant...and also one you already know you like to work with!
 
Hey! That's wonderful!
 
Your a lucky girl!!!
 
Good for you!! Not to mention... she will be so helpful.
 
hooray :) that is awesome. congrats.
 
That is so funny! Congratulations!
 
The best type of recruit to have. She will be so helpful
 
Congratulations! I keep trying to recruit the lady that recruited me then quit.
As a joke, tell her that she has to come to a new recruit training.

Good one! The only problem is, she about 4 1/2 hours away!! My first recruit isn't even from my own province!! :) I always thought it would be neat to have one recruit from each province/territory....so one down, 12 to go!! :p
