    It is the last full week in May now:). Any hints???:D

    I think what you are doing with this board is fantastic. If there was a thumbs up smiley (hint, hint) I'd give you a couple. Your personal participation here and elsewhere adds much to the friendly, welcoming nature of the board. Thanks for being Randy.

    Agree. Personally I prefer $25 loans because that results in more loans which equates to more interest and fun for me.

    :oops: Corrected. Maybe Freudian since some people moan about my unabashed enthusiasm for Kiva!

    I don't. I rush to my computer and check to see what is going on at Kiva and on this thread. I cannot wait to see what you have all done while I was sleeping.

    Just joined kiva and the MP team and loaned $25 to Nadela.
    Looks like a great endeavor to me!

    Welcome and congrats on your first loan. Beware, it is an addiction. I am at 22 loans already and some here are double that all is a short time. If you have to have an addiction, I recommend this one.

    Would anyone like to speculate what the plan is for tomorrow? I can't think of anything to expect except mention of the MP Kiva team in all/most of the blogs and, of course, lots of new members and new loans. Any guesses?

    I think there will be a lot of activity on www.Boardingarea.com and some surprises, too. I'm hoping we reach 200 new members on Tuesday (we have room for 91 more under the current promo). :)

    Yes, but specifically beyond the Boardingarea blogs, what will the surprises be? That's what I'm having trouble imagining.

    I hope we can get more people signing up for Kiva. gleff's View from the Wing post gave a significant boost in membership, so having all the Boarding Area bloggers (if that is the Milepoint Monday drive) blog will hopefully bring out a lot more people.

    For my part, I was intending to make periodic new loans at the start of each month, but I will gladly make a few additional loans tomorrow to boost MPs total $$ amounts. Armed with facts from jbcarioca, Paraguay is high on my priority list for the next round. I also recruited two others, so will remind them that next week will be a good time to lend!

    Just joined the MP team and made 2 new loans. Unfortunately, the 1st loan is not 'credited' to the MP team - must have timed things a little wrong w/ multiple pages open. Not that it's the end of the world, but if somebody knows how to retroactively apply the MP team to that loan, drop me a line.

    It seems to work if you contact Kiva by email using the contact us area of their website. However, you need to do this quickly to have the loan count for the MP team, as I understand it. There's a more extensive discussion of this issue elsewhere in this thread.

    Message sent. Guess it's worth it as Kiva itself demonstrates, every penny counts!

    I'll kick MP-Monday off with a few more loans ;)
    By the way, this promo, how does it work? Do I need to do something to get a loan matched?

    Hi torbster. The matching promo is for people who join the MP Kiva team during the month of May. I believe you joined back in April.
