I'm pretty sure that people who get banded in the same month come up with a theme and the Shrinking Violets is the name of the group from a particular month and year (something about April 07 sounds familiar to me). Usually it will say a date. I know that the Jan 08 are the New Year Knockouts and the March 08 are something to do with shamrocks.... I think it's just like a social group/a way to keep up with people who are on the same kind of timetable that you are.

Yep Penny's right.

There's monthly support groups, and I think most of us named our groups.

April 07 banders is Shrinking Violets.

It doesn't really mean anything, it's just our.. mascot :rolleyes2:

Funny I just saw this!

Yeppers... we all started out at the people who were to be banded April of 2007... some came in to offer support and others were from various months but we all ended up sticking around and posting daily.

My siggy pic is when we all cut the cyber cord and jumped on a plane to meet in person... last May.
