- VOTE ON COVER FOR SMART MARRIAGES 2010

Can you do me a favor and VOTE on a cover design for the 2010 conference
brochure?  I print 200,000 so it feels like a huge decision.

It should only take a minute though there's also a place for comments if
you've got more than a minute - that you like the background color on one,
but think the typeface should be a different color......or any kind of
suggestions or opinions. Feedback always appreciated.

Since Orlando doesn't have beaches and I don't want to use Disney.....we're
going with flamingos, again.  I can't think of anything else that says
Florida.   

The designs are parked on the artist's website.  She did ads for many of you
for last year's brochure, so you might recognize her -

Very much appreciate your time and suggestions.  - diane

- POLL: 1/3 OF YOUNG AMERICANS SAY MARRIAGE IS ANTIQUATED
We have our work cut out for us.  They think it's antiquated because it
fails 50% of the time. If we restore hope and confidence, we can change
these opinions.
