ANNOUNCEMENTS

Let's have a round of applause for our Liaison and CL of the month! (March 1999)

LIAISON OF THE MONTH Samantha Dawn
Samantha, aka sammyless, has spent the last 2 1/2 years building TheTropics from the ground up. She's been Liaison since the CL program began in July 1996, and her list of accomplishments includes recruiting the entire Neighborhood CL team of 34, and starting various committees in TheTropics (including FTP, Graphics, Welcoming, Alert, Chat and Forums). Samantha's also pretty busy outside of GeoCities -- she's involved with the PTA, devotes time to crime-stoppers in Canada and is a member of the Cambridge Art Society. Stop by her Homestead and tell her she's awesome: TheTropics/5636
