Hi Cindy, I recently became a Sister also. I feel much more connected now. I love the first 'Cluck' newsletter I received the other day. Read all of it already. It's like the magazine in between the magazines. There's info in there that I might not have known about otherwise...like the fact that Mary Jane is coming to Michigan next week for a visit. AND....I reserved a couple of seats for me and my friend to meet her! That alone is worth the annual membership fee!! I've been so inspired by the magazines, books and these chat forums. I usually find what I'm searching for. If I can't find answers, I ask the question & usually get a response. For you seasoned gals on here, what's it take to become a True Blue Farmgirl???
