Hello and welcome to the Homestead life communities first member announcement post.
Before I get started I would like to say that the launch of the community has been delayed due to me getting quite sick with the flu and as I am a home dad, I have been taking care of 2 of my 4 kids, that have also come down with the flu. So if you could forgive me for the delay I would appreciate that greatly.
I have been preparing as many people and information as i have had the time to do , and was waiting to include them all in this post.
As you may be aware there are many things that go into creating a community, none being more important than the management structure. I am just an average guy and I require help to actually run the community. I have been looking for the right people that will assist all members of the community, in the areas that are directly applicable to the whole community. Now that some members have taken the challenge of helping to create the community and contribute effort to strengthen it, as well and expanding it, we now have the opportunity to establish a healthy and vibrant community.
So without further ado, I will announce our first community leader.
@Nedspeaks, Ned is a true professional in his conduct as well as his real world profession. Ned is a Pulmonary, Internal Medicine and a Critical care specialist.
@Nedspeaks The homestead Life Community's FIRST Mayor .
Congratulations Ned, we are all very lucky, to have such a kind and professional person like yourself to be our new Mayor.
For further information on Ned you can go to his Introduction post here.
As you would expect, the position of Mayor has many duties, primarily of which will be the coordination and development of our fledgling community. This is a big job and comes with a lot of responsibility, so please show Ned respect and patience when seeking Ned's assistance. Ned is a highly intelligent and proficient person, that takes his position seriously and humbly.
At this point in the community we are still small, so the management positions within the community are few. As we expand, we will be needing other members to step up and take on the task of a community leader.
Now, you all know me, and if you're unsure what my name is' i'm Graham. I am the creator of The homestead life community, and my position is the Founder. My introduction post is here
My duties as the Founder are to continue to grow the community as well as ensure that you all have the help that you need and a fair share of the activities within the community. I will also be assisting Ned in coordinating the community, and will be checking that you, our valued members, are not being taken advantage of by vote hunters, that only join our community to take you votes and give nothing in return. I did not place myself as the Mayor because that position needs to be filled by the person that is best suited to the job. @Nedspeaks is that person. I continue to be grateful for all of you becoming members, and I am humbled by the kindness and amazing abilities that you all have.
This is the list of our members.
Welcome to you all.
Be sure to follow your fellow members
If you would like to bring a friend, family member or someone you met on steemit, into the community, simply let me @TheHomestedLife know, and I will assist you
Now for some news.
All of you have many and varied skills, as i became aware of as you joined the community. If you would like to have a leader position, all you need to do is ask and explain what it is you would like to contribute. The aim is to have all members as leaders in the skill that you possess, so there is endless opportunity to expand and increase you skills. If you think of our community like a small town, a town needs all kinds and types of people with skills. as I mentioned in the application post, you don't have to be a homesteader.
Imagine a town that only had farmers in it.
Who would be the doctor, shop keeper, blacksmith, gunsmith, scientist, chemist, baker, builder, it specialist, accountant, marketer, news paper, developer, psychologist, bucher, potter, clothes maker, barber, photographer, astronomer, physicist, explorer, entertainer and the list goes on and on. We need them ALL, and more, to build a vibrant, diversified and healthy community.
In the THL News bulletin, you will be able to advertise your skill, business or profession, so all members can benefit from the services you provide. You can even advertise your old car if you like. There will be classifieds, news, announcements, competitions, awards, product advertisements, jobs, sport, weather and all the thing you would expect to find in a newspaper, ALL, supplied by and for members. The news bulletin will be full of the content that you wish to place in it.
The community is you, if you add to the community, the community will grow, just like a town.
A special thanks to these members for their assistance to me, in helping with my learning curve on steemit. @Barrydutton and @Farmstead
