Subject: Working on FIRST names, starting with the letter "C"...
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 14:41:48 -0400


Hi Folks:

The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this
RIVARD Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------

A subscriber to one of the other Mailing Lists which I Facilitate, has
offered the following suggestions as a means of increasing the activity on
the List:

"Would it be possible to start a trend? Each week we concentrate on one
letter of the alphabet for FIRST names of Rivard? We are getting a lot of
input this way on another List and great discussions going. As an example,
the first week we work on people whose first name begin with the letter A.
There can be the usual e-mails covering all subjects concerning the Rivard
lines but this might put some spark back into the list. Just a suggestion."

I very much support this suggestion and encourage all subscribers to
participate.

So, to get the ball rolling, I'll chose a letter of the alphabet to work on
for the current week (see the Subject Heading above), such as...
1st week: Post information (or ask about) any BERNARD names starting with "A"
2nd week: Post information (or ask about) any BERNARD names starting with "B"
3rd week: Post information (or ask about) any BERNARD names starting with "C"
etc. etc. etc.

PS1: Anyone on the List can chose an appropriate letter (A, B, C etc.) and
keep the ball rolling.

PS2: Don't send your messages to ME... send them directly to the List at:


PS3: This "idea" is NOT to discourage anyone from asking/posting any other
genealogy-related information to the List... it is merely intended to be a
catalyst to get subscribers to actively participate. Enjoy.

PS4: Since all messages are archived by subject matter, I would
suggest the following be used as a "Subject Heading"...
Subject: RIVARD first names starting with the letter A
or
Subject: RIVARD first names starting with the letter B
etc. etc.
