Let's
begin the 21st century with a bang and..... the
January edition of HOTP.
We welcome all the new readers that have joined
us recently. Chances are you are looking for your
old friends. Guess what? We are right here!
Located on the left side of this webpage you'll
find some handy links. You'll want to bookmark
this one -- the AfterHours Homepage. From
there, you can look up email addresses in our
community Directory. Or, read
posts and join in the conversation on
our Message Board, hosted by
Delphi.
Last month we moved HOTP to a new server. We hope
you'll agree it was a change for the better. We
are especially pleased with our new navigation
system. You can now click from page to page using
the links along the left side, instead of
navigating back to the front page each time you
wish to "turn the page". Gee, there's
nothing like starting over 12 times huh? :)
Please also note we changed one email address.
You can now reach us only at thehotpress@yahoo.com since our
AOL address is no longer valid.
And now...on with the sh0w...........

January 7th marks the end of
the official Hurricane season for the
year 2000. Carolina isn't doing well
anyway, they are 15-16-5. With that
win-loss record, no wonder we are giving
up on them half way through the NHL
season.

 The Kids
AIDS Site
The Kids AIDS Site was founded in 2000 to
help provide HIV care, education, and
counseling to pregnant women and mothers
with newborns. With the click of a
button, visitors to the site donate free
care to help reduce the transmission of
HIV from mother to child.
This donation of several hours of nursing
care to children with AIDS in developing
nations is paid for by the sponsors of
the website. Clicking on the sponsors ads
and making purchases from their websites
also adds to the number of hours of
nursing care donated.
The donations from the site go to the
Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS
Foundation's "Call to Action
Project". The Kids AIDS Site was
founded by GreaterGood.com, which also
operates The Hunger Site and The
Rainforest Site (previously featured in
the April edition of
HOTP).

Achievements:
You go girl! Our resident scholar has
made the President's Honor Roll at the
University of Miami. Gabby earned a 4.0
GPA for the fall semester and was awarded
the highest honor possible. That's MUCH
better than just having her name on the
boy's bathroom wall.
Births:
It's a(nother) boy! krstl ktn's third
grandson, Christopher,
was born at 3:57am on November 15th. He
weighed in at a whopping 6lbs 15 oz., and
measured 18 1/2 inches long. He takes
after his grandma.
Announcing the
newest addition to the Ligamari family.
Nicholas II was born last spring (on
April 26th) to our favorite internet
lovebirds, Bryses and Tark. As soon as
he's old enough to type his screen name
will be 'czar'.
Engagements:
In early December, Seth Gecko (aka
Gemdragyn's eldest son Joey) proposed to
his love Brandee.
The date is set for September 27, 2003.
Good things are worth the wait.
