BODHIDHARMA 2011 encouragement Award goes to...

Post by bodhidharma »

Hello all, well the person who deserves this presentation has been decided. There were many deserving people but i can not send gifts to all (it would send me broke) so, to acknowledge just a few, Matta, Nathanm, Bougyfan, Gerard, Lisa. The long time people (who do not need encouragement) are also examples of excellent contributors and some should be mentioned Pup, Grant, ash, The list would be as long as my arm, we salute you :worship:
I base my decision on virtues such as,positive outlook, consistent contributing, striving to be helpful, cheering on other people etc. Based upon these virtues this year i will be sending GRETH a beautiful Trevor Wheeler pot and a set of Japanese branch cutters. The tree which was to be the award (a fig) was unfortunately left out over winter when i went O.S and is struggling to survive. I hope you are happy with the replacement Greth and if you p.m me your postal address these gifts will be on there way to you asap.
