Guys/Gals,

As we look at the starting of a new year – this comes the time were we evaluate (and re-evaluate) where we’re at and where we’re headed.

When I think about the ICOC Singles Today website – I look at all of the info we’ve been able to share these past (almost) two years since I first posted ‘the Website Open’s It’s Doors’ on February 1st, 2009.  Since then we’ve had 92 stories,
24,373 visits to the site from 155 countries / territories, and much good news shared to God’s glory!

Where do we go now?  This site is for you and by you!

Here are some thoughts for 2011 – please leave your comments, thoughts, ideas below by clicking below on the link  ”…Comments” (note – you’ll need to have an account to post your comment publicly - you can always send a private note in our ‘Contact Us’ section without an account):

• Love the site – keep it ‘as is’
• How about adding a Discussion Forum – where singles can discuss what’s going on in their world (to do so would mean that we’d need trusted Forum Moderators – are you willing?)
• I want to help out and be a ‘local reporter’ for my Church – (can always submit your story by clicking here)
• Here’s the next great idea! “……….”

You have been invited to join the disciples in Central VA, to say ’farewell’ to 2010 and ’welcome’ in 2011!! Much fun is planned for the Night including: karaoke contest, the ”Battle of the Decades Dance-Off”, card games, Wii, prizes, and more…..! Be there early. The dress code is black & silver (semi-formal!!) If you are thinking ”I just wanna have good, clean, no-pressure-fun-night for this NYE” this is the event for you! Event is open to Young Marrieds and Singles and is alcohol-free! What better and safer way to bring in the New Year?
