Hello to all our wonderful admin,
As you can see as of late our humble little group is starting to get a little more active. I believe if we keep the group light and fun anyone and everyone will be encouraged to jump in and participate.
In the past the admins were encouraged to add to the group and lead by example so to speak.
Ways to do this are:
1) Add to discussion weekly - If every admin added 1 new or ongoing discussion once a week then there would be much more variety our members could participate in and also inspire them to add a new discussion themselves. Our admin in the past has done this by either creating a new discussion with anything that comes to mind (encouraging, inspirational stories, etc.) or by posting a joke of the week, contest, etc.
2) Contests - Our poetry contest we had for spring was a success considering we are still starting back up. This type of discussion topic encourages our members to participate in two ways: by creating and voting. Feel free as admin members to create your own contests. To get the word out about the contest we can all send personal hugs to members to encourage participation an success.
3) Hugs - New or existing members find encouraging words via our Hugbook as it's usually one of the first thing they see.
Another way our admin gets the buzz going would be to go through our member's list and give personal hugs to our members. This is both a delightful surprise and encourages members to check into the group once in a while if they feel the hugs are still relevant and still active.
4) Invite friends - As always, going through your own friend's list / groups and inviting friends to join our group by mentioning a certain topic we're discussing / contest, etc. goes a long way.
I know we all have the same goal which is to make this group as great and as active as it once was...so what do you say guys? Do you think there is anything I mentioned above that you believe would be right up your alley? I want to encourage you guys to be the best admin team therefore if you have any ideas of your own or any fears, unsettled feelings about your role then please feel free to talk to me.
So what do you say team... are you with me? =)

Awesome thanks for the update Annie. I know you have your own board going too. But yes anytime you want to drop be we appreciate your posts. The poetry contest is just one idea of many, you can start a favorite quotes thread, a game thread, a joke thread...etc. It can be whatever will get posts up and people talking and having fun =)
