The neatest email came today from Corporate that I want to share with each of you because it is addressed to all of us: Nancy, Congratulations for being In the Spotlight this month! We are recognizing you, your Team, and your customers for being in the top rankings for donating the most to Operation Smile®. Well done! You are making a HUGE difference in the lives of those who receive the surgeries! Watch for your name and achievement to appear on Close To My Heart's Online Office page so all Consultants can applaud your success. Congrats, Close To My Heart It is a blessing to bless others! Thank you ladies.....YOU ARE AWESOME!

Operation Smiles silent auction raised a whopping $123.00 yesterday bringing our physical year total to $234.70. We are only $14.30 from bringing another smile to some special little boy or girl. I absolutely love the thought of helping bring that to fruition!!! And I know all of you do too because you are always willing to give. Thank you so much. The Roxie paper layout and the memory game were great projects. Have I mentioned that I love the new idea book?? I believe everyone had a wonderful day! Jean showed us a really cute make and take purse that is great for putting a gift card in. Thank you so much Rob for cooking all that great food! It was delicious! Everyone was busy with layouts and card making. Overall I would say it was a great crop!
