I hope you all had a joyous and memorable 4th of July holiday with your families!  My sister and my two favorite nephews are in town from Michigan, so our's was really special. 

It was great to see many of you in Atlantis!  What an amazing trip that was!  It was a great blessing to have our entire family with us but it also creates less time with you, so I apologize for that.  Thanks to everyone that made them all feel so welcome.  This was truly a special resort and vacation.  Thanks to our fabulous company for providing such a memorable experience.  Our Catamaran trip was fabulous and I loved my birthday cake on board!!  Thanks to all of you that joined us on Tuesday!   

It's hard to believe but that our National Convention is next week.  News of our new company and new business model will be announced on Friday morning and I can't wait!!  I'm sure most of you are as excited as I am. We will all be sitting on the edge of our seats.  I will be sending out a Get Ready for Convention document to those attending that will be full of information to prepare you for this year's convention.  Don't forget that we need volunteers and donations for our annual HOME Team Celebration Event.  If you'd like to volunteer, email Pat Crandall at pat.crandall@bellsouth.net; if you'd like to make a personal or team donation, email Cheryl Gross at mcherylgross144@aol.com.  If you have auction questions, email Aimee Magnon, our Silent Auction Chairperson at amagnon@bellsouth.net.  Every donation and volunteer minute helps us reach our goal for our orphan friends in Russia!
