<pre>Hi All

I would like to take a moment to recognize the following few members in good
standing that have been with us since the first month of inception of this
fine group:

They are as follows:

Name Member Since
Jamal Sadoun 12/7/98 (Founder)
Aris Karatzas 12/31/98
Poussin 1/1/99
Jos Weemaes 1/1/99
Luciano Biundo 1/2/99
Taieb Zgolli 1/2/99
Norm Corley 1/3/99
Richard Ward 1/4/99
Adrian Shaw 1/4/99
Craig Hill 1/5/99
Margaret Chidgey 1/5/99
Susan Sweeney 1/5/99
Theodora Karlis 1/7/99

Let's give an "Extra Virgin" round of applause to the above members and to
all on board.

I strongly believe that this group is serving its purpose of being an
educational and a networking discussion group where members can get together
and chat about olives and olive oil. Keep up the good work fellows.

Cheers, Sadoun

P.S. If your name is up there and we haven't heard from you lately, drop us
a note, will you?
