Greetings from sultry Washington DC,
Let's try to ignore the fact that Washington DC was once a swamp, and look forward to cool, dry, air-conditioned offices where we can use the time to build our business.
The federal fiscal year is entering the final quarter shortly and well-connected firms, small and large, are going to be the ones to benefit from the budget spend-down. While everyone else is thinking vacation, successful government contractors are gearing up for the busiest time of the year -- are you taking advantage of this sales opportunity or losing out to competitors?
We can help -- come to the in-person seminars, save gas and attend the teleconferences from your own office, or call us toll-free at 1-866-579-1346 for one-on-one contracting help; we are your ticket to success!
All the best,
Gloria Berthold
President, TargetGov |

And You Thought the Crystal Skull Ants Were Bad
Indiana Jones had the Crystal Skull to fight the ants, maybe NASA needs to take a look at using it for their ant problem. "If you open a computer, you would find a cluster of ants on the motherboard and all over. You'd get 3,000 or 4,000 ants inside, and they create arcs. They'll wipe out any computer."
