Hey everybody! You may have noticed that on the right side of this page there are various links, and one of them is to a Yahoo group called “Val’s Kin.” I just wanted to point out that there is no need to be a blood relation of Val’s to join this group, should you be so inclined. (A Yahoo group is kind of like an email message board, where everybody who belongs can see the messages you post.)
Here’s the message from the home page of “Val’s Kin”:
Hi everyone and welcome to yet another online source of Val love. It was suggested we start a group where fans o’ Val could communicate amongst them/ourselves so here we are. By “Val’s Kin” we inclusively mean all you lovely people in the intersecting spirals of friends and family surrounding Valerie and Deborah.
Feel free to use this group to:
- check in and communicate with one another
- post pics (remembering that ALL Val’s people can see them)
- organize projects and plans across these vast distances
- find a sub if you need to trade a dinner date or something like that
- anything else pertinent and handy
So now you are in the loop! It’s just a place for interested parties to swap emails on the fascinating topic of Val (and me, and fund-raisers, and who went to school with whose brother, and so on). Possibly it requires a (free) Yahoo email address. No pressure or need to join at all. I just wanted you all to feel invited.
Deborah
