How It All Started!


One Saturday night, we were all sitting on the Front Porch after an excellent time from our On Stage event, just chatting along with a mug of hot chocolate and mini marshmallows in our hands. We started to marvel about the fact that we have so many members from around the world participating on the site, and wondered about how great it would be if we could all sing a song together somehow?

So, here is the project we dreamed up. Members signed up to either sing a line in a song, or speak a welcome greeting to the site. Recording sessions were scheduled, and after several months, 101 members had participated in this huge undertaking! The heartfelt and fitting song that was chosen for this project, was Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s, We are the World, which was originally released in March, 1985 by USA for Africa.

By the power of technology and audio editing programs, this memorable recording finally made its long awaited debut on September 21st, 2013!
Proving, of course, that no matter what country we call home, no matter how many oceans separate us, and no matter the language we speak, we all share a common bond, called friendship. As the poem says,
Though miles may lie between us,
We are never far apart.
For friendship doesn’t count the miles
It’s measured by the heart.
