COMMENTS FROM DALE

I first met Diana Mercia in the beginning
of New Image International.  She joined
soon after we started the company.

She was working as a waitress and one of our distributors
gave her a product brochure one night at the “Meeting
after the Meeting”.

She joined, and had a slow start, went through a divorce
and then married Larry who was also a distributor for NII.

They were a great team and quickly rose to the top of the
marketing plan. They were part of a great leadership team
in the Knoxville area for many years.

Please remember Larry in your thoughts and prayers who
is still in critical condition.

Losing 3 old friend and business associates in 1 week
is very hard to take.

I have said many times that the two greatest benefits of
being involved in network marketing is #1 The personal
development required for success and #2 The friendships
you make and the relationships you develop.

You have the opportunity to experience a lot of Joy with
other people but unfortunately every now and then you
also experience sadness. I guess that is what friendship
is really about, being their when someone needs you the
most.  It is during those trials we all have the opportunity
to find out who are friends really are.

WHY NOT TAKE A MINUTE RIGHT NOW, AND CALL
AN OLD FRIEND YOU HAVEN’T TALKED TO IN AWHILE,
IT WILL DO YOU BOTH SOME GOOD!
