Some of you may have noticed that a few changes have been made to Vegetarian Option.  Here is a quick summary of what changes were made, and why they were made:

• We have removed the Book Club section, because we felt that it was just not a feasible activity to continue here at the boards.  Even though Melody did a great job as a moderator, none of the members put forward enough effort with the club for it to be worth continuing.  So, we have decided to remove the Book Club altogether.
• We have released a list of dates for Every Hour on the Hour 2009.  Every month now has an assigned date for this year, and reminders will be issued monthly.  While this activity was successful, it was a gradual success rather than a rapid success, so we no longer require a moderator for that forum.
• We have hired Hannah as an additional moderator for the Question of the Moment forum.  She and Honey will now be in charge of the forum and will be posting questions there regularly for all of us to answer.  Please give Hannah a warm welcome to her new position as a moderator!

These are all of the major changes that have been made to VegOpt recently.  We expect a few more tweaks here and there, and we will keep you posted on the different adjustments we make to VegOpt.

Alice, Sophie, and myself would like to wish everyone a very happy holidays as well as a joyous New Year!  The three of us will continue to work on VegOpt in the New Year and hopefully we will be able to unveil new projects as well as maintain current ones.  Here’s to 2009!
