- GETTING THE WORD OUT

Several have asked for a short blurb to send to your e-newslists, blogs,
social networking pages, etc.  Use this below or get creative - I'm guessing
you can come up with something more inspired, something that includes your
own enthusiastic endorsement.  Send what you come up with - it might be
something others can use. - diane

- GOLF BUDDIES 

Dear Diane:
 
I¹m bringing my husband for the first time this year.  He wants to play golf
some of the time, and would like to let people know his e-mail address.
He¹s up for playing right there at the Rosen Shingle Creek 18 hole
professional course (rounds are $150 right now, but might be cheaper at that
time because it¹s NOT peak season that week), but would be open to trying
out other courses in the area as well.  If there are other husbands or wives
who want to hook up with him for a few golf rounds, they are welcome to
e-mail him, MICK ROBERTS, at:  orangepower84 at yahoo.com  They¹ll need to
contact him by the end of the first week in March so he can get the rounds
coordinated.   
Kelly Roberts, MS, LMFT

Wow, I had no idea golf was so expensive!? I hope your husband will let us
know if he finds out the fees for public courses in the area.  I tried to
negotiate a conference rate with Shingle Creek during contract talks. They
wouldn't consider it.  I'll ask again.   - diane

- LOOKING FOR ROOMMATES/BROCHURES MAILED?

It's nice to split the costs and it's nice to have a conference buddy if
you're traveling alone.  Send your info and I'll send it out to others
looking for a roommate. - diane

I've added you will send you the list of others who are looking for a
roommate in a few mins.

Yes, you are on the brochure mailing list and should receive a brochure this
week. 

It is helpful to have a hardcopy to register - nice to be able to circle and
check off sessions as you narrow down your choices.  HOWEVER, I strongly
encourage you to visit the INSTITUTE page on the website
http://www.smartmarriages.com/institutes.html

This page has a lot more information on each training institute - info we
can't fit into the brochure. EACH Institute has it's OWN "click for more
information" link that will help you make your decisions.  See this example
for the first one, #101 PREP.  If you click the link at the end of the brief
description you get lots more info.
