Sunny Greetings from the Central Valley of California!

2008 is the International Year of the Reef, IYOR! You are cordially invited to join in a worldwide campaign to raise awareness about the value and importance of coral reefs. I would like to invite you to learn more about coral reefs as well as how you can help to protect the amazingly beautiful and living reefs.

Wi-Fi On Air

Several major airlines have been drastically reducing their basic services to their domestic passengers such as no more free water, juice, coffee, pillows, and blankets. They claimed that these items put too much weights on the planes, thus cost more fuel. On the other hand, these airlines have been running tests for in-flight Wi-fi service. The in-flight wireless service may cost from $10 - $12.

1) I would like to share with you one of many similar responses to my Invitation to Be Friends, ITBF:

"Hi JoAnne, Yes, I will accept your invitation. You are the only person so far who has not blasted me right off the bat with your product or business opportunity. I realize that's why most people are here, to sell something, but it is certainly refreshing to not be hit with it first thing. Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting to know you."

AdLand offers many useful tools to promote our products and services. However, an Invitation to Be Friends should be used ONLY to make connections with other members in the community, with a friendly message. Please do not put an ad in your Invitation to Be Friends. It is just tacky!

2) Are you looking for a forum to join? I know a really cool forum where you will learn, share, connect and be inspired. This forum is new in this community. Here is the link: http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/30635/ShowForum.aspx
