Volume 1, Number 8
I take this time to send a Merry Christmas to all!
An exciting change will be with us this next year as we launch the “Better
Animals” program. I encourage you to get to the Phoenix Expo to learn more about
this exciting program. The Expo’s format this year may change as well, with
emphasis in your business leaning to new growth.
Begin thinking about events and activities you would like to hold next year, and
let’s work together to make them happen!
Keep your families and friends in mind during this busy season, and pray for our
troops who will not be home due to the war in Iraq.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
