Friends,
Recently, listowners have been reminded of policies at freegroups.net 
regarding the number of members that a group must contain.  As most of you 
all remember, my husband Alan started this group a little over a year 
ago.  I took this group over when he left in December.  I did that because 
believe in the mission of Christian Drummer.  I believe firmly that 
Christian drummers, whether playing in a secular or a church forum, need 
the support of fellow believers.  It was a dream of my husband to have this 
group.....And I would like to try and keep it alive if at all possible.
We are now at a crossroads for this list, due to the listowner 
reminder.   Lists at freegroups.net must have 25 unique members, and right 
now, we "technically" have about 14-15.  There are a couple "duplicate" 
members.  For example, I get both the regular list and digest, and I 
believe there are one or two who have both webread and regular 
mail.   Which boosts us to about 17 members.  We need 25.  We need 25 very 
soon.  If we do not have 25 members by June 1, we do run a risk of having 
the group removed from the freegroups.net server.   Glen has given us some 
leeway here in that he is willing to extend our deadline to July 1.
We need to find about 10 more members for our group here.  I'm going to 
step out on a limb....I'm personally not a drummer.  But I have a drum kit 
in the house.  :-)  If you have friends, relatives, neighbors....Anyone who 
is even a wee bit interested in drums and a Christian, please invite them 
to join the group.  If you can think of forums to publicize the group in, 
please do so.
Pray for at least 10 new members.  And of course, pray for us as a list 
community, and pray for the decisions that need to be made regarding this 
group.
In Christ,
Ruth Anne
