We Asked, You Answered 
 
Thank you to all of those who participated in our February Poll. The winner of the raffle for February's DVD set is Lyndsi Ostrow. Congratulations!
 
Last month we asked you, our readers, "What day of the week would you prefer to receive your email announcements? "        Monday, Wednesday, Friday or No preference

We asked and you answered. It was a tie this month with both Friday and No Preference taking the lead at 38%, while Monday followed with 23% and Wednesday finsishing last zero votes. What does this information tell us?  We will keep our bi-weekly emails consistent and send them out on Fridays and our monthly newsletter will go out some time around the 5th of the month, but we won't work ourselves in a frenzy to distribute on a particular day. Your response has shown us there is flexibility in the email schedule. Our goal was to fine tune the distribution of our newsletters and make sure you get you the news you want on the days you want to read it!

ENTER, ENTER, ENTER, WIN, WIN, WIN
