Subject: Anniversary

Dear Lowlanders,

Lately we've made a bit of progress with our anniversary presentation
(http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/), in great part thanks to our Mike 
Szelog's efforts.

If you click on the "What's New?" link, you'll discover what I am talking 
about.  More stuff is in the works, but this does not mean that I'll let you 
lot off the hook.  More! More!  Write introductions of yourselve!  Write 
translations in *your* lingos, whatever that may be!  Round up relatives, 
friends and coworkers, and put them to work! Suck up to Grandma Heleentje, 
Grandpa Thijs, Aunts Mabel or Willemientje, Uncles Hamish or Abenezer, 
Cousins Pyt, Jacomyntje or Dougie, or Billy Bob, the accountant from 
Kentucky in the cubicle next to yours -- all the while having pen, paper, 
microphone and recorder ready for the "kill"!

It's all right to provide alternatives to what is already there.  If your 
dialects are already "covered," don't let that stop you from sending in your 
translations and/or sound files.  The more the merrier.

And it doesn't have to be Lowlandic either.  *Any* language variety is 
welcome.  Remember that it's a celebration of language in general.  In fact, 
I noticed that many visitors search for non-Lowlandic stuff, especially 
minority languages, usually on Google, find us that way, and many of them 
stay at our site and look around, some for hours, hopefully learning 
something in the process.  We are getting lots of "hits" from all over the 
world.  Here's your chance to contribute to this educational resource 
creation effort.

Thanks to all of you who contributed already.  Why not try and rope in a few 
more?

Thanks in advance!
Reinhard/Ron
