Member of the Month

Announcing a new member of the month award!

Starting in February 2011, the ROSNF board is recognising each month a member who has made an excellent contribution to ROSNF.

Our first member of the month is Annamaria Tari, who has done a fantastic job of promoting ROSNF in her district (1911, Hungary), very quickly after joining our fellowship.

A record of all Members of the Month will be kept in our Recognitions & Achievements area.

Congratulations Annamaria! Please feel free to submit nominations for future Member of the Month recipients to any board member.

This site is nearly ready to go – just some graphic tweaks and decisions to be made about categories, and it can officially be launched as a live site!

It is now open to the ROSNF members for testing out and feedback. Once they are all in and give it the thumbs up, we’ll be good to go 🙂

Hello world!

We’re setting up a new website in Word Press, to enable better interactivity between the committees and members in general.
