We wanted to let you know about the upcoming New Year's Day/6th Anniversary Celebration at DukeWayne.com.

The JWMB is the number one stop for John Wayne fans to visit, join, and have fun. We have made many new friends during the last 6 years, and we pride ourselves with having the friendliest JW community online.

This Thursday January 1st, marks a new year and the sixth anniversary of the John Wayne Message Board. We'd like to invite all members to help us kick off the New Year with a big crowd on the message board and in the chat room.

Of course, the chat room will be open all day (everyday), but we are hoping for the biggest crowd between the hours of 5 and 9 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5). So make plans to come by and at least say hello.

Here is the date & time for the 2009 chat (The time could be tweaked if needed)

Thursday, January 1st 2009

Time:
Ben Lomond, California = 2:00pm (local time)
East Coast, N. America = 5pm (local time)
London, United Kingdom = 10pm (local time)(GMT +1 due to daylight saving)
St Petersburg, Russia = 1:00am (local time)
Queensland Australia = 7am (local time), Friday January 2

You can access the chat room from several different points. You can use the link in the "Quick Links" area of the top menu bar, or from the main forum display page.

Thanks for sending the invitation in the e-mail. I noticed I joined the site January 2003 when you first got it up and running. I somehow lost you and was glad to have found you all online with your e-mail. Look forward to chatting.

GREAT! We are looking forward to being there!!

Thanks, Kevin, for getting the ball rolling!

Howdy Dukette, glad you found your way back!!:shades_smile:

Hope to see you around these parts more often.

Í was very busy around the holidays with my horses and I am looking for a new farm to rent at the moment, but I want to wish all of You a Happy New Year!

Just have a minute before heading to town but wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

This site will be around as long as there are good people who love the Duke and share his values.

Much love,

Cindy

Whoops - looks like I missed all the fun - I haven't been on the computer for a few days so I didn't get the notice. Next time!

Jay it was good fun.
I was there untill 0230 UK time!
I know Jim was monitoring the 'turn-out'
and I feel sure he will make a post on this later

We probably had about a dozen or so members in and out through the day. Our largest 'crowd' was 6 at the same time (you can see that new stat at the bottom of the main forum!), around 7 PM Eastern time (that would have been midnight for Keith).

It's always fun getting to know people in 'real time' and having a conversation with people from around the country and the world. I personally spoke with JWMB members from Canada, Great Britain, and various locations in the US!

Don't forget, the chat room is available 24/7. If you see that someone is online, with whom you'd like to chat, just send them a quick PM to see if they are available.
