Role Call!

[Nayr]

Hey Everyone!

This is Ryan Brown, the Delawarean, recent Missourian, and soon to be Chicagan I think I know everyone so far, although it took me a while to figure out the names for a few of you.

Just in case, I'm one of the Brown kids. My sister, Emily, already joined and I expect Courtney will at some point. My family works here at AIM HQ and my parents are the AIM Team Directors. That's why I live in Hollister, MO (which is right next to Branson).

My story is that I joined AIM Delaware (as it is now called) in summer of 2003. I've been on six AIM mission trips and co-directed one of them. I directed the team in DE for a couple years (after Tyler left for college) and also led the SALTeam in Branson for the Spring 2009 session. I interned with AIM for a year over the 2008-2009 school year and then started college in Fall 2009. I just finished my freshman year with Moody Bible Institute (great school in Chicago) through Online Distance Learning two days ago and I will be moving to Chicago for the last three years starting this coming fall semester. I also work at Lowe's in Hollister (a great place, far better than Home Depot). I keep helping out with AIM things in Branson whenever I can (I designate myself as "the reserves").

I'm looking forward to our interaction on the board! I love hearing how things are going with the teams out there.

[*Courtney*]

Hey everybody!!!! I think y'all know me too. But since we are saying all this jazz about ourselves I'll join in. I'm Courtney from AIM Branson, and I'm on the SALT team. I have been on the Branson team about 3 years and was the SALT girl leader for AIM Delaware team for about 4 years. As Ryan said I am his sister, and Emily's sister for that matter. Anything else I need to say... I'm 17 and graduating next Thursday!

Hello. Jared Poch here, Grand Poohbah of the Cheyenne crew. Beautiful new message board, if I do say so myself. And it even has my favorite smiley - *excited* but it doesn't seem to work... *unexcited*

[Nayr]

Hey Jared! Glad to have you on [the] board!

We should all make sure to let people know about this board! We have like 15 people on here now, but there are a lot more AIM people out there, people who would probably enjoy keeping up with other AIM people too. The more people we have interacting, the more I believe people will want to keep up with things. And if you have several people from your team on here then you don't have to post everything about what your team is doing

Hi!
My name is Hannah, and I was on AIM Blacksburg (in VA) for several years, first as a team member and then as SALT. I was privileged to go on a Midwest mission trip in 2008, and went to a leadership camp in that year as well. I am currently studying in England, and am waiting God's calling to start an overseas team. I'm very excited about this forum, and being able to keep in touch with AIM people.

Hi everyone! I know (or know of) many of you! I'm not currently involved with AIM, but I was a SALT from 2004-2008 for AIM Blacksburg. My brother (Kenneth) is still on our team though. AIM played a huge role in my spiritual growth all through high school, and I'm so glad that we have this forum in order for me to stay in touch with all that is going on!

I posted once, but I'm not sure if it went up, so I thought I'd go ahead and try again.

My name is Claire Lo, and I was involved with AIM from 2004-2008. I was on AIM Blacksburg's SALTeam all 4 years, and I learned SO much! I know (or know of) many of you on this forum. I have 2 younger brothers - both have been a part of AIM in the past, but only 1 of them (Kenneth) is currently involved.

At this point in my life, I'm a college student at a state school (James Madison University) studying music. I'm not currently involved with AIM, but I am so excited about having this forum in order to keep up with all the AIM happenings.

Howdy. You all know me. I'm here...
