Hello, Hello!
Last night some Rodinhooders pinged me to check if “aal izz well”, for I didn’t send out the Friday Newsletter! UnAsha indeed! Like many other Ning sites, we had some tech issues and so I just couldn’t :(. We’ve been on Ning since Nov. 2010 and it has served us well for 5 years. But now, it’s time to move on. We’ll be migrating soon to ensure you have a better, mobile friendly TRH. Thank you for your patience, please bear with us, till this happens smoothly :).
