Greetings from Anita and Kara-

Have you noticed all the changes around the boards? We've revamped our entire Direct Sales Chatter section and brought on a lot more members to our team of moderators. Be sure to stop by the Meet Our Moderators section ( http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=155 )to get to know each of them a little better.

Be sure to keep an eye on the contest board because we're planning on a big, big, contest coming up very soon! And if you're interested, we've also put out a call for sponsors for this contest. We're offering a lot of exposure for you and your business if you'd like to join us. Go to http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5351 for more details.

Till next time!
