I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I sure appreciate the effort
she's put in and the excellent job she's done.

Absolutely not, which is why I specifically said I was not referring to
anyone who asked questions about it. It just so happened that Mietze
resigned her position in a thread you started, and I replied to that. I
think the Jellicle Ball is a lovely tradition that every year brings out
many "old-timers" that are not usually able to post and I agree that it
would be sad to see it go. I'm concerned that some here felt that we were
inundating the group with stuff that didn't pertain to them, but without
those who have gone before, this group would not exist.

Hello to all. My cats Oprah Anne and Princess Pasha played here for
years (starting in 1996) when I was able to get rpcc through
newsgroups via my dialup account. When that dried up, and I had to
rely on the more difficult to follow internet groups on a dialup
account, I had to give it up for a variety of reasons, the biggest of
which was lack of time, although I did check in occasionally to see
what was going on. This group was always about fun and love for me,
and I can only hope it will remain so for all of you..

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful work that
Mietze (by way of Melissa) has done for all of us over these last
years. She alone has remembered the names of those cats, dogs,
ferrets, other furs (even a snake or two), and hoomins who have passed
to the rainbow bridge during the past years. She puts their names in
her Walk of Remembrance and has worked tirelessly on the behalf of all
of us to keep the names of those we've loved alive forever. This
year, my beloved Lissa's name was called after she died shortly after
last year's Jellicle Ball. There has been no one more dedicated to
this task than Mietze/Melissa has been, and I wish to thank her for
that.

That said (and I wish to make clear this is not aimed at those who
simply asked questions), I would like to add that those few of you who
have *complained* should be ashamed. If rpcc no longer wishes to have
a Jellicle Ball, that's fine, but it is a sad day when some in a group
of people who have supposedly been brought together by love of their
furs should attack someone who has done nothing but try to give some
consolation and solace to those who have lost their loved ones. I
have to wonder if those who have been so quick to criticize will step
up to the plate and remember those who go to the bridge this coming
year.

I don't think anyone has ever complained about the work Melissa has done, if
anyone needs to se her dedication they need only go and look at the walk...
bear in mind that honest questions and a desire to understand the dynamics
of a group can often be interpreted incorrectly or not as they are
intended... it seems to me that all of the newer members are doing something
I did not have the courage to do when I first started reading here, I think
around 99 but am not sure... I always wondered how the ball started, how the
calling got started, Melissa is the only one I ever saw do it and I wondered
how that came to be, if there had been someone before, why/how did it
change... just like I wondered when reading the glossary for the first time
who could be that creative and wonderful to catalog all of that... the point
is, I think the group is filled with love and I think that some of us are
sensitive to keeping traditions alive, and others of us want to understand
the traditions keep them and add to the life here at the community, soft fur

Lee, I really agree with that -- I have been so glad for all the
questions that people ask. There is a lot about the Jellicle Ball that
I don't know, and the more I read about it, the more I can learn. I
appreciate every question anyone has asked.

I have been so impressed by the quality of writing that happens in our
events, especially the Jellical Ball and wedwinks...the narratives have been
so meaningful, and I have been remiss in not saying so quite often. At this
Jellical Ball, I even cut-and-pasted much of it, to read from time to time.

I would be very happy and contented to see the traditions of rpcc continue
without any change at all, though I recognize that the job is difficult, it
is extremely worthwhile, both in times of grief and times of joy.

A huge Bravo and Thank You to those who work especially hard to make the
above possible.

Sylvia, Meowmee and sekkiterry tu Pitô.ônya.
