Guy the banner at the top of this page has been there for 3 days announcing the closure of MSN Groups (as we know them). We have been working in the background ( as usual) on preparing something for the inevitable, However this site as we know it,stays operational until Feb 2009, So there is no need to worry about anything for the time being, As I mentioned in another post We cannot worry about things that we have no control over. but rather concern ourselves with things that we do have control over. Maggie will shortly make an announcement of the route we will take (at least for the time being) Change is never easy, but it can be exciting ,at least everyone will be on equal Footing and Learning new things, Our main concerns are to use something that will be to the benefit of 'All Our Members' Carry on as usual & know that We are always looking at finding the best things for this site & keeping it's focus.                          Have Fun & Remember Verdun.......

Thanks Montrealgoodtimes,...........but the major character (Verdun Character) who'es idea started this site is MaggieMck, along with a friend of hers initially a long time ago,....but Maggie has stuck with it, & encouraged all to keep the faith & help build a decent site ,that has been kept free of internet (crap) and frivoulus topics,.....Maggie had the where-with-all , to foresee a place where Verdun Folk could Connect with each other & share stories & photo's & basically Remember Verdun & Montreal as we all Remembered it.......& she 'stuck with it all these years'.regardless of some who have come & gone,she persevered & made Verdun Connections a site to Appreciate.              I  along with you Appreciate the calm & reserved spirit that Maggie has shown in watching this site grow to 900 plus members (allowing for some dupicates of course).....but she a she alone are the reason the site still exisits today.......and with any help from technology , it will exist into the future for all to use ..............So Keep Posting ,We still have until Feb 09 on this site & the new site ,that is chosen,will be there for us to. We will always be looking for ways to improve any selected site for all of you,...and if newer & better things present themselves,We will be sure to bring it to you,right away.......                                            have fun & remeber Verdun
