Post by bookowlie »

It’s time for another member to wear the crown! I am pleased to announce the February 2019 Member of the Month is…Espie! She has been an OBC member since May 2018. In addition to writing interesting reviews, she provides valuable information in the grammar discussions. Espie particularly shines through her enthusiastic support of new members. She routinely welcomes newbies in the Introductions Forum and posts comments in the Volunteer Reviews section. Espie can also be counted on to answer general questions and offer advice regarding Review Team issues. Please join me in congratulating Espie!

This is very well deserved! I often wonder if I would have the energy to write such detailed responses to people. Espies really does go out of her way.
Congratulations!

Wow!

My usually-wordy reviews may make this seem ironic, but I think I'm a bit "speechless" now. :oops:

Having worked in the HR field for so many years, I always had the proverbial "giving credit where such is due" as my emphasis. It's good to know how it feels to be on the receiving end this time around.

I guess I've always wanted to help others without spending resources meant for my family's needs, and the club has enabled me to do that. I've had good people who assisted me when I was just starting here, too, so I thought I should also pay it forward.

It's great to see the team effort towards continuous improvement and achieving goals here, and I'm more compelled to pitch in.

Thank you for the humbling gesture. It is appreciated and means much more than I could express. :text-thankyoublue: :text-thankyouyellow:
