It’s on my calendar as a monthly task, but as those things go, its slipped since June for me to send a welcome to people who have recently signed up to be part of OEG Connect.
Let’s say “hi”, “hello” or how a colleague from Fiji greets in email, “Bula” (which google suggests means “life, health, and happiness”) to @itsmhassaan, @YLB, @JenSpacagna, @Greg, @Andrew01, @ADAM_YAKHOUB_MOUSSA, @Muze-n, @Samara, @Arren_Martinez, @meghanto, @Harorudo, @Juergen_Hubert, @lekhankala, @JohnKenya, @Mathi, @mnmsrus, @chrisyounkin, @elm.yahay.mohamed, @MeganBFZara, @Jkwaning, @gkn307, @POL, @acardinale, @headlandsprep, @Arenal, @Ayaakkawi, @Nomathemba, @atiafolayan, @adrianaadamico, @AQS_AGENCY, @Roboral, @pilarvega1968, @APPPLETON, @anp, @aliisingor, @AdrianoGio_81, @edupath, @Mauricio, @MurielK12, @Jennryn_W, @Gouda, @maykamel, @Helton, @mdashraful777, @tugbatosuncobanoglu, @Birhanu, @luffy, @MSimmons
