How I Admire You!

I am floating on air today! Last week, we finalized our sales for the "Hope for Japan" stamp set and Red Cross fundraiser to benefit those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I am happy to announce that we submitted slightly over $80,000 US to the American Red Cross, thanks to you and your incredible efforts.

Never have I seen a group of Consultants so quickly and passionately rally around a need. Never have I seen customers so enthusiastic to buy a stamp set. Shortly after we submitted the donation, the Red Cross called us to offer a personal "thank you" for the incredible donation and to find out a little bit more about Close To My Heart. I had to tell them that while I was thrilled by the response, I wasn't at all SURPRISED. See, I KNOW that our Consultants and customers are among the kindest, most caring, and motivated people on earth—and when there is good work to be done, they rally.

I am confident that the Red Cross will put our dollars to use in a way that will bless the lives of others and help them find hope when so much seemed lost. I am profoundly grateful to work with people who give more than they take, who know that by helping others we elevate ourselves, and who understand that when we all do a little, together we can do a lot. How I admire you and thank you for your great work in giving hope to Japan!
