Beauty Tips - Jeri
HI, I'm Jeri, your new Beauty Editor!! I'm so excited to be joining the newsletter team. I've had past experience with newsletters, having worked 2 years at a local newspaper office and 16 years with a natural resource conservation office; for 8 of those years, I wrote, produced, and designed their quarterly newsletter. I miss it.
I live in the Show Me State of Missouri. Except for a year or two in Florida as a toddler, I've lived in MO all my life. I'm a 46 year old widow, with one son, James, almost 25, and two adorable grandchildren; Fallon, 3, and Thomas, 9 months. I also am "mom" to several stepchildren, and three furbabies, Jinx and Josie (my cats) and Hootch (my Rottie/Blue Heeler mix) Alas, I am staying with my mother and taking care of her, who is in poor health, so my babies have to stay with my dad. I spend most of my time doing graphics and web design. Prying me from my computer could prove dangerous to your health. LOL!
I'm looking forward to giving you tips and tricks to look more beautiful. If you have anything you want answered in an upcoming newsletter, just email me at jeri@wosib.org Stay beautiful, my pretties!!
Cause of the Month/Proofer - Linda J.
Hi there everyone,
I am Linda and live in Australia, have a grown family and spend more time on
my pc that I probably should. My computer has brought the world into my home and I have been able to research and promote the causes I believe in much better than before.
Since a child I have been championing one cause or another and working to
promote better understanding and care between people and I am looking
forward to doing this monthly cause for the newsletter, and to getting to
know members of WOSIB that I have not met before.
Editor - Bonnie
I am a 43 year old married, mother of (4-) my sons (3)are all grown up and are out of the house and my maternal daughter died of Hodgskins disease in 1995. I have three (3) grandchildren that visit almost every weekend two girls and one boy. I have been a member of the WOSIB group since April 2003. I serve in the following Gardens here Judge, TLC, Receiving and ROTM Manager. I love what I am doing here at WOSIB. I work during the day, 75% of my time is spent on the computer during the day and I often sneek over to the WOSIB Groups to see what's going on there. God has blessed me with a wonderful job, surrounded by wonderful people on and off the net.

As well as being a member of the Newsletter team I'm also with the Celebrators, Pixellers, Social Butterflies, Receivers and the Support part of the TLC Garden so I'm a busy bunny around WOSIB! I'm looking for articles that I can publish from the next issue of the Newsletter onwards so if you've got an article screaming at you that you want published but don't know how to go about it, just yell at me at me@mandysdepression.com and I'll help you to put together something for the newsletter :o) I'll accept anything that is family friendly and sticks to the same rules as we look for on new sites... if you want to write for the newsletter but don't know what to write about, it could be anything you're interested in!
How about writing something about WOSIB? Maybe you've got a health problem that you'd like more people to know about? How about that special partner in your life or your children? Have you (or someone you know) achieved something and you want to share it with your WOSIB sisters? How about your Country - tell us what it's like where you live? Are you studying and you want to share your experiences? Maybe you could tell us about your future dreams - do you have an ambition to do something? Do you have an unusual hobby or interest that you'd like to tell us about? How about top tips that you've tried and tested? Just because I haven't mentioned it doesn't mean that I won't accept it! Try me out and see what happens! :o)
I can be contacted at any time at me@mandysdepression.com so why not email me with your idea? I'll look over everything you send me :o)
