White rose:
Representing, humility, purity and innocence, the white rose - often referred to as the bridal rose!

Yellow roses:
Represents friendship, joy and caring. - warmth, gladness and affection.

For those that pray

Remember our league members have their real lives, the person behind the id, and many have hardships of illness or other things going on and have unspoken requests.Lets remember the unspoken requests and remember at the tables as we play to be a good sport and play fast and considerate of each other.

Continue to pray for April's mom; she has had more strokes

Zooper42 is had major surgery on her foot.

Giraffeaholic had surgery and is recovering

WhatevaUdesire requests prayer for special friends "Beth & Ambrose" both rediagnosed with Cancer. Pray for their treatments and Drs.

ForeversKaren broke her leg falling down some stairs over a toy

Praise!
Darla: Baby Krayson is now home from the hospital with oxygen but is doing alot better! Thanks for the prayers and continue to pray for him.

Dave & Vicki: Thx for all the prayers, our client has made it back to our home, after two weeks in the hospital. We are fortunate to have him with us again!



For your information:



If your SHG id does not match what you have in the main league page, please log into Forevers league page, click My Account, edit user id, and make the change to make it match.

Please do not withdraw to do this!
If you need any help ask an admin!

With no "invite buttons" once a tourney begins pay attention as the td calls the pairings~ first team called simply picks the table number in the block the td has said to use (usually tables 1-16) and the opponents join quickly.
Hit start so the td may jump on and start the table timer! Without having a busy public lobby (like yahoo) we should be able to get these tables going rather quickly. This helps the tourney move along & Keeps our tds happy!

SHG & Jan customized our room so if you haven't came in the past couple of weeks come check out the awesome room we have!

If at anytime you have questions about the games or the site just ask an admin we are here for you!
