Welcome additional moderators - congrats Chong and Randy!
 

I'm honestly delighted to announce we have two new moderators!
Chong and Randy are now on board along with Gabe and Ron to be our new moderation team.
They're both esteemed members who care very much for our community, both are a wonderful addition and I'm honored they feel so strong for the well-being of our organization. Randy has a lot of other wonderful members in his vicinity in and near Tennessee, it's great to have representation for this wonderful area. Randy is one of our esteemed members, having been helpful with the other members and quite active nearly since our inception. In addition, his expert knowledge should not go without notice. Chong is also one of the several expert members of Bananas.org that keep in stealth mode and choose to not wear the plaque :) Chong's knowledge of plants (growing bananas since 1974) and willingness to share, as well as his eagerness to serve our community makes him a wonderful candidate for the position.
Both members round out our moderation team to a total of 4 and will also be helping behind the scenes to form more localized groups and meetups. We have a lot to be excited about! So, without further adieu, let us give a warm welcome to Chong and Randy!

As I have come to realize in my short tenure as a member, many times I have read your comments, tips, suggestions and general banana knowledge. We could not ask for better qualified candidates to join Gabe and Ron as moderators. Your willingness to help those of us with little or no understanding of banana culture, patience and good advice is a huge benefit to all. Congratulations, thanks and hearty Attaboys to all of you!!!

Re: Welcome additional moderators - congrats Chong and Randy!
 

Congrats to you both Chong and Randy. I know if it wasn't for the likes of you two "ALL" my bananas would have perished a long time ago. Thanks for the help and the valued assistance to the community. You have done yourselves proud.

Re: Welcome additional moderators - congrats Chong and Randy!
 

Wow, Scott, with that comment, I am truly humbled... Don't really know that I agree with the BEST candidate, or even good one, just someone who feels strongly for what Jarred is trying to do and wants to help in any way possible to make this a better place to share info... Again, thanks for the comments...
Randy
