Fund-raising
We are pleased to announce some pilot programs are in process by co-creators Melissa Trevorrow and Denise Crilley from Melbourne Australia. Based on their own experiences of their children's fund-raising through schools and groups, they have based the system on traditional fund-raising systems already used, such as chocolate drives etc.; so no further education is required about the system itself, as fundraisers are already familiar with it.

Marketing
The focus for the company in 2008 are the key areas of Leadership and Marketing. Alf outlined at the North American Conference the plan to select key Senior Executives in the company to assist to train all Representatives in important areas such as Network Marketing and Team Building, Retail Strategy, Fundraising, MiSales and MiSpa. This face to face training covering many countries will give everyone the opportunity to gain valuable insight and tips as to how to work on their business and assist their teams achieve great success through their chosen strategies.

The Directors announced 2008 travel plans for North America which included a tour by Alf in March and then by Colin and Narelle in October. Regular tours throughout the year will also be conducted by executives and Ron Tracy. Five executives are being selected as part of the 2008 Leadership Program and each of them will conduct an Australian/Asia Pacific Tour, a North American Tour and UK tour. Details of these tours by the Directors and Executives will be released soon.

A big part of the leadership focus is to keep in regular communication with everyone and to this end monthly conference calls will be held by the Directors for Executives in specific regions - Japan, US, UK, and Australia .

From the marketing angle, we're looking forward to the addition of more fire power to trumpet the brilliance of our products; of which their uniqueness, potency and effectiveness are unparalleled in the world.
