Greetings!

I am sure many of you are busy prepping for 2008 filings, but we just wanted to take a few moments to share a few of the great things happening here at Red Moon Solutions.  We recently released version 2008.02 of FAM which includes new tax law changes as well as some enhancements to the product.  We are also pleased to unveil the exciting 2009 Client Referral Program.  Lastly, RMS was accepted as a member of the Chicago Tax Club this year, and we will be heavily participating in this industry association going forward.  We continue to engage in tax related activities that we think bring value to our FAMily.
 
Please take a moment to learn more.
 
Kindest Regards,
