- WHO WOULD LIKE SOME BRIGHT YELLOW SMART MARRIAGES POSTCARDS?

150,000 Smart Marriages postcards will be mailed tomorrow. First Class.

1) I printed more than I mailed, so let me know if you'd like a batch to
distribute.  They're very portable - easy to carry around and a great way to
start a conversation about the conference. And, as I always say, we can't
change the world unless we reach it. Each in-person endorsement from one of
you telling someone why they should attend is worth $5000 spent on ads.
Email to let me know how many you'd like and include your street address.
10?  100?  500? 1,000?

2) If you receive more than one postcard in the mail, give any extras to
colleagues but please also take a minute to email me to let me know I have
duplicate addresses for you.  I'd like to clean up the database BEFORE I
mail the conference brochures. Postage and printing are so expensive!  Tell
me which address is old and which to keep. Thanks in advance for your help.

3) If you don't receive a postcard by Nov 30th, it means you're on this
listserv but I don't have your postal mailing address.  Send it if you want
to receive a brochure in the mail. Or, if you are fine downloading one from
the website, then I don't need your mailing address. I know many of your
prefer just downloading.

Thanks very much for your help in spreading the word!

- WILLARD HARLEY ON ESPN!
> Diane,
> I was listening to ESPN Radio recently and heard an ad for "Dr.  Harley's
> marriage course". I assume this is the same Dr. Harley who received the Smart
> Marriages Impact Award in Denver. It's a great idea to put an ad for marriage
> education on a national sports station and wonderful that they used language
> that appeals to men.  I have heard the ad several  times now and at different
> times of day. When you call the toll free number you can order a 12 session
> program for a free trial review and then if you keep the sessions it costs
> $390. - Steve

Wow, has anyone else heard this?  I'll ask Dr Harley about it. Wish I could
hear the ad. Dr Harley will present two workshops at the San Francisco Smart
Marriages conference.  - diane

- WHY AM I STILL MARRIED

> In response to your question about "Why I'm Still Married," that snippet
> comes from the intro to their book by the same title. I read the book recently
> flying home from Boston. Story of several couples (most of whom had been
> married before, some several times) who are describing why they are still
> married. One or two of the stories were lesbian marriages. There's some key
> points I highlighted that were interesting and I found it easy reading. Not
> exactly a book I'd recommend but it was fun to read.  - Ron in Fresno

> The 2 women who wrote the essays wrote a book together, published in January,
> 2006.
