“Wow thanks….

That keeps me from checking my email everyday hoping it is approved before tonight. LOL

That eases my mind!”

“Usually takes about three weeks. The voting is generally thus: “Either everyone votes for it, and it passes, or a majority vote against it and it doesn’t. Should not everyone vote for it, it passes in 3 weeks.”

Or something like that.

I rarely see them approved before the 3 week mark.”

“Thanks so much!”

“Awesome! :-)”

“Well I do have a sewing room floor you can sleep in, or even the couch, if you do not mind the cats using you for entertainment. LOL

You would be most welcome!

*Yay for hospitality! I am improving on some of those virtues after all….ROFL*

I have to be honest, despite the fact I live here, these mountains in East Tennessee are some of sacred and beautiful places on Earth. AND….living here means I know all the cool, secret, special places to hike to!”

“Makes me want to move down there!”

“Yes! And I am SOOOOooooo glad to know someone else knows what Tsalagi means! I was a little worried about using it in the title but it fits so well because the Cherokee National Forest is practically my back yard. So Forest Of Tsalagi just seemed to be the best name. Thank You!”

“Is this the Tsalagi one? I like the name Mostly cause it’s Cherokee :)”

“Thank you so much and I can just imagine how excited I will be when I get approved for Grove status. Right now I am just loving this journey!”

“Good luck on your application! The only thing more exciting than my group being approved for protogrove status was our being approved for grove status!”
