LISTSERV Choice Awards 2011: The Mailys

L-Soft is delighted to announce the winners of the Grand Prize in this year's LISTSERV Choice Awards – The Mailys. Yes, you read that correctly – winners! In special recognition of two exceptional LISTSERV email communities and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of LISTSERV, L-Soft Founder and CEO and LISTSERV Inventor Eric Thomas decided to honor not one but two grand-prize winning lists this year.

Congratulations to each winning list, BELG-L, a community of Belgian Shepherd dog owners, and KIDNEY-ONC, the Kidney Cancer Online Support Group.

KIDNEY-ONC

KIDNEY-ONC is an email exchange among thousands of kidney cancer patients and caregivers around the world who use the LISTSERV community to share information and support regarding the disease and its treatment. KIDNEY-ONC is one of the more than 100 mailing lists of its parent group the Association of Cancer Online Resources (ACOR).

Senior List Owner Robin Martinez has devoted countless hours to KIDNEY-ONC since joining in 1997. She says:

"The award recognizes the KIDNEY-ONC LISTSERV list for connecting people to provide life-changing and indeed life-saving information and support. The credit goes to our wonderful KIDNEY-ONC members whose deep dedication to finding and sharing information is matched only by their support and caring for fellow patients and caregivers. I am proud to be part of all this."

BELG-L

BELG-L is described within its LISTSERV site as "a community of Belgian Shepherd owners – nearly every member being owned by a Belgian – one of any of the four varieties. If they aren't owned by at least one then they probably are doing what you are doing, searching, questioning, researching to insure that they know what to expect and what is expected of them once they find their special dog no matter which variety it might be."

"It is with great pride and pleasure that I accept the 2011 LISTSERV Choice Award on behalf of all 1440 members of BELG-L and our admin team members Judy, Kat, and Mike," says Libbye Miller, BELG-L List Owner. "We greatly appreciate all that L-Soft has done over the years to allow this worldwide group of Belgian Shepherd lovers our daily dose of lively discourse! Thank you so much!"
