Redeem your 
Oh what fun we’re having! To celebrate 10 years of Club Pogo in a single month is an unusual treat, but before we wrap up, let’s focus our attentions on Ruthann, who is not only a long time Club Pogo member, but also a prize winner!
First name: Ruthann
Screen name: RuthCroda
Tell us a little bit about yourself: I am retired and have enjoyed playing on the Pogo games for 10 years. I usually check first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon to make sure I did not miss anything.
I am a retired nurse and my husband and I took care of 75 foster children. We still see a few of them even though they are grown-up. They are scattered all over the US. We just recently sold our home and down-sized so I have a lot more time to play. I also did some wild-life rehabilitation and enjoyed that, too.
State, Province or Country? Indiana, USA
Astrological sign? Aquarius

What’s your favorite looking Club Pogo Badge? I love my badge that I won when I won a JACKPOT one time!
Club Pogo has lots of features – Challenges, messaging, exclusive games, ad-free gaming… which is your favorite? I love all the challenges and, of course, ad free is great!
What goes on in your mind when you’re deciding how to dress your Mini? I dress my mini for the season and holidays… I also like to see how others are dressing theirs.
Do you have a favorite Club Pogo memory? If so, describe it… YES, when I won over $1300.00 and a badge!!! I was so excited… I called my husband at work to tell him… and I really got the money!
Have you made any long-term friends on Club Pogo? Yes, a couple.
Have you ever forgotten to do something important because you lost track of time on Club Pogo? Well, of course… Just another minute… I’ll be right there!
What makes you a unique Club Pogo fan? I am so unique anyway… but, the fact that I can play for hours on end and not worry that my housework/laundry is not getting done… well, that is priceless.
Do you ever eat while you play? If so, what’s a favorite “Club Pogo” food? I am always munching on something… chips or crackers and cheese, mostly.
Do you read the Pogo News? If so, what do you like most about it? Yes, I read the news and the etiquette column, as well.
Popping balloons, swapping candy, or playing cards? Love all of these.
Challenge Wednesday or Mini Thursday? Always look on Wednesday to see the weekly challenges.

Hi Ruth God Bless You and Your husband for taking care of 75 foster children.
As Kaileysmama2 said “WOW” that is amazing. What a blessing you and your husband have been
to so many children. The world needs more caring, loving, people like you. After all of that, so glad to hear your retired! A real humanitarian and guardian angel here on earth. Thank You Pogo for giving Ruth the well deserved Spot Light and recognition. Ruth, continue to enjoy your retirement
and wish you many happy hours of pogo playing. Good luck on your badges. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Truly amazing story. HAGD !!! ((((huggs)))) ~ DD
you just sound like an extraordinary person. I hope I wll be challenging you at some game in a pogo room one day. Greetings from Italy.
congrats on yur 10yrs at pogo and you never get bored??? like to know your secret lol, great job on fostering 75 children that is accomplishment in its on right and you use to be a nurse how did you juggle that and caring for so many children? well done to you and your husband
congrats on your 10yrs at pogo god bless and keep you
You are a very caring person to take in 75 foster children.It takes alot of patients.Congrats on playing pogo for 10 years.
I was a fostor child for 8 years. I cannot express my gratitude that complete strangers would open their home, heart, health, love, kindness and generosity. We only hear of the bad fostors out there. But there are WAAAAAY WAAAAAY MANY EXCELLENT fostors out there. Thank you for fostoring. Now that I am fully financially set, I would love to buy you a year sub. to pogo if I could. And a WTG on winning a JP spin!! Talk about someone who deserves such riches.
Your comment made me cry…as a former foster child who made it. You’re absolutely right. You only hear about the bad foster parents. For you to offer this amazing woman a membership…that’s what made me cry. I always attempt to “Pay It Forward.” That is truly a wonderful gesture. You too have earned your Angel Wings. xoxo
I was a foster child, too, and I think it’s wonderful that you would want to “reward” Ruthann for her amazing, sacrificial gift to so many fortunate children. God is true to His word, “When my father and my mother abandon me, then the LORD shall pick me up.” Psalm 27:10 Unfortunately, it was only into adulthood that I truly grew to appreciate that God gave my life “beauty for ashes” in no small part through foster parents.
I to grew up in foster care system I had a awful time but when I turned 15 I went to a family that truly loved me and took care of me people like RuthAnn do exist from one foster to another
The world needs more people like you and your husband. God bless you both. Enjoy your retirement…it is well deserved.
My goodness! You have a lifelong history of love…75 foster children!!! God Bless You and your hubby! Keep on winning Pogo games…continue the fun!
What a wonderful story and blessed life you have! Seventy-five foster children! You are an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing your story and may your life continue to be as richly blessed as you have blessed so many others. You’ve already earned your Angel Wings. May God continue to bless you and yours as you enjoy living the retired life…and of course…have fun on Pogo!
You truly are a remarkable person and I wish you continued happiness in life and even more luck on Pogo. The world really does need more people like you.
WOW what a special person. Thank you for sharing.
I Truly Believe You and Your hubby are Amazing God Gifted Individuals, whom could have such a Big Heart to have Fostered so many of the Children that others reject or put in harms way. I Know that You and Your hubby will be Greatly Rewarded one day. May God Bless You and Your Richly. You are what I would call a Great Inspiritation. Thanks for all You Do…
Nice to meet Ruthann. When I read your story I thought to myself this lady is awesome. It seems like you had a full life and still going. God bless you and your large family
Ruthann, It is certainly a pleasure to meet you and your husband. We certainly need more people in the world like you guys. It is so inspiring to know that you all made a positive influence in the lives of 75 individuals when they were in need. That is awesome!. I love reading about your Pogo experiences and it helped me to decide to re-up my membership next month. Congratulations and continue to enjoy this outlet.
Nice to meet you Ruthann I also am a big pogo player and happy that you won the Jackpot spin..wow looking after all those children is a big thumbs up from me…congrats again and god bless
Congratulations Ruthann! You are a very blessed lady! You are one of the reasons Pogo is such a great place! So happy for you that you won a JP! And I am really touched to know you have cared for so many children, I love children too and they all deserve a special place in someone’s heart, thank you for caring and giving so freely! I like to play the same type games that you do so I hope we meet up sometime and just chat or get our badges together, that would be a treat. Enjoy your retirement, Pogo is the place to be! Sending hugs your way and wishing many more blessings for you and your hubby!

What an amazing life you have had! God bless you and your husband for all the love you have given to so many! I am relativly new to Pogo and now I am really impressed by the things I read on here, there is a very good community with Pogo. May the Lord continue to bless you and yours! You are a true blessing to others.
What a wonderful pair you and your hubby are. I too was a nurse,raising 4 daughters. I can’t imagine taking on 75 children. Thank the good Lord for people like you two. You made a huge difference in those 75 children and the world. This is what the world needs , more caring couples as you. May you continue to be blessed. GOD has a place for you in Heaven.
