Hello friends of Carpenters Avenue... Today I am very happy to welcome our new moderators. We have two new moderators joining us along with one moderator remaining. The remaining moderator is someone we all know and love Enigma. Enigma has been with the forum since March 2004 and has been a moderator for about three years of that time. Enigma lives in Canada and loves the Beatles as much (if not more than) the Carpenters. Thank you Enigma and it is with pleasure I welcome you into this new phase of moderator-ship. Now to welcome the newbies... First I want to welcome Kenny... Kenny lives in Austin,Texas and is in his early-mid forties. He was just a toddler when "Close To You" was a hit. He is currently in the Property Management business. Kenny has a zest for life. He loves his friends and family and especially loves music. He enjoys everything from Carpenters to Linkin Park to Pat Benatar to Beatles to 3 Doors Down to Donna Summer. He has a knowledge of how the internet works and has been involved in other Carpenters web sites in the past. Kenny is a singer himself and sites Karen Carpenter to be one of the biggest inspirations behind his interest in music. Kenny loves to share his thoughts and ideas with others and has no problem saying it the way he sees it. He says he's not afraid to speak his mind, but age has tamed him down and now he is able to intelligently involve himself in discussions that are holding a wide variety of opinions and can exist without turning into arguments. Welcome Kenny we look forward to getting to know you better! Next it is with pleasure that I introduce Jill B Jill lives in Forest Of Dean (near Wales) in the UK. She's one of our British members. Jill loves animals, coffee and walks on the beach. She is self taught in HTML and is a studious sort currently attending the Open University in Milton Keynes. Jill loves to read, write, watch movies and listen to music. some of her favorites include Annie Lennox, Erasure, Yazoo, Meatloaf, Scissor Sisters, Queen and almost anything from the 80's. Jill excels in expressing her thoughts and writes an outstanding blog on her MySpace site. And amongst all her talents Jill also has pink hair... which is what clinched the moderator position for her. I love pink hair! Welcome Jill it is an honor to have you on board.

Well, how do I reply to that flattering introduction? Thank you Rick.
I will try to get a picture of myself on here but have had difficulty doing it so far. Will keep trying.
Thank you again. I hope my use of english isn't too confusing with the slight differences between British and American english.
I look forward to reading everyones' messages. All the best, Jill B.

Welcome new moderators to your new positions! I am frederic kahler, founder of carpentersgang. We soon will celebrate six years online. I also have a group called eurythmics-lennox and I used to have bright red hair a la Annie. I was interested in applying as a moderator here, but then I have already over 25 groups to maintain. I wish the new or upgraded moderators much success and warmth in their lives and perspicacity in their duties here. Lead us not into temptaion but deliver us to Karen and Richard!!! And I am a firm believer in speaking one's mind. Cheerio!!!

HELLLOOOOOO Carpenter fans & friends!!!! What a great honor and pleasure I take as one of the new moderators to the group here and I'm so very much looking forward to getting to know you all and to talk about our reasons of being here, mainly Carpenters music! I'm kind of rushed with packing up and getting to a new home next week, so I probably won't be able to be on much for the next few weeks, but I'll definitely be checking in and saying hi, seeing what's up with all the Carp peeps. So in a quick nutshell, THANK YOU for the kind welcomes and I'm really happy to be here! Here's wishing everyone a GREAT weekend! Kenny

Welcome to Kenny and Jill- thanks for your willingness to serve as moderators here. We look forward to mutual encouragement and education here at this site. As you help lead and inspire the people here, you will find people who are also interested in helping and uplifting you. I trust that the move goes well Kenny and that you will receive strength and joy in your new place. Jill, I dig the pink hair too. For a good many years now I have very little on (or in) my head. Looking forward to talking to you later- O.E.
