Facebook Group Application Received
Thanks for your interest in joining the Facebook group/s and filling in the application form. As the group is unsearchable, the easiest way for me to add you is if we’re temporary Facebook friends. Please send me a friend request and I’ll temporarily accept your request so I can add you to the group. After adding you, I’ll then unfriend you. (Nothing personal! This is my standard practice for group members).
It helps if you can also send me a Facebook message telling me you’ve applied to join the group/s, so I can match you up with your application. Then, why not join the email list if you haven’t already?
I look forward to hopefully having you join us and will get back to you as soon as possible, Karen
