==================================

Happy June!
My oh my where has the time gone? Can you believe we're almost half-way through this year already? School is about to let out. I can't believe my little guy made it through his first year of school already. And my daughter ...ooh, this is the last year for my daughter in elementary school! Crazy! (Yeah, I'm scared! LOL!)

Okay, down to business! We have two very big things going on at the boards and you need (okay, you should WANT to be there!)

First of all, this isn't for everyone but it is for those from PA (and I know there is a lot of you out there ... ) and surrounding states who might be interested. We have a post for you all to check in here: http://www.mommyshelpercommunity.com/phpBB2/about6448.html Bev and I have a big announcement to make so you'll want to keep an eye on that post!

Secondly, and this one is for everyone. If you haven't been to the boards in a couple of weeks, you've probably missed all the fun! But no worries, there's plenty more on the way! We have 5 contests down and I don't know how many to go! We're holding a bunch of contests with a bunch of prizes and a bunch of fun. Stop by the boards and watch for "Quick Impromptu Contests"

What is a Quick Impromptu Contest?
A Quick Impromptu Contest is exactly what it sounds like. A quick little contest that no one knows when it will happen (not even me, lol!) At any moment, I can just pop in on the boards and announce a contest. What do you have to do to win? Sometimes it's nothing more than being the first to send me an email and saying hi. Sometimes I might stop by the boards looking for the fourth person to reply to the second post in the Urban Botonic section. (Just an example!)

Till next time!

Hi Nicole-

I'm so glad you found the Clipboard helpful. It certainly has become a way for new members to find all of the good stuff that's posted around here! Helps to sort out the information, as there is so much of it throughout the boards!

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes! Thank you VERY much! We like to know that it's worth our while. Okay, worth Lauren's while, lol! Does a great job ... doesn't she?

Unfortunately, we've had a difficult time w/ the mass mailing feature for the boards so she hasn't be able to mail it out to everyone in a little while. However, very shortly ... we'll have that fixed!

Take care,
Anita Razz
