Each year on this day, Shaklee Distributors celebrate and demonstrate Shaklee's commitment to our environment. This year, Shaklee's 50th Anniversary year, Shaklee will celebrate Earth Day in a monumental way.</div> <div> Beginning Saturday, April 22nd, Shaklee will launch our largest Earth Day campaign ever - <I><B>"A Million Trees. A Million Dreams."</B></I> Shaklee Distributors across the US and Canada can participate by holding your own very special meeting on Earth Day, and by purchasing a special <B>Earth Day DVD</B> designed to support your meeting. The purpose of the meeting will be to celebrate Earth Day while introducing new people to Shaklee - our legacy of environmental leadership and the legendary Shaklee Opportunity which has allowed so many to enjoy healthier lives in accordance with their values.</div> <div> And there's another very important way you can participate. To demonstrate your commitment to the environment in a concrete way, we invite you to join us in <B>a massive effort to help reforest our planet</B>. As <B>Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai</B> told us, each of us requires the oxygen output of 10 trees to support our lives. Recent studies indicate that currently, the United States alone is in a deficit of more than 600 million trees. You can do something about this, right in your own community, and Shaklee would like to encourage you in that effort. Our goal is for Shaklee Distributors, friends and family to plant over a million trees in the US and Canada this year. And we'll also be making a donation to the Green Belt Movement to enable the planting of one million more in Africa. This initiative starts on April 22nd, but you can participate anytime by planning a tree-planting event in your local area.</div> <div> <B>Here's how you can be part of this exciting campaign launch:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Purchase the trilingual (English, Spanish and French) Earth Day 2006 DVD - call 1-800-SHAKLEE to place your pre-order today - your DVD will arrive in time for your April 22nd meeting.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Send an e-mail to <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>earthday@shaklee.com</U></FONT> and tell us where and when you plan to hold your Earth Day 2006 meeting on Saturday, April 22nd </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Your name </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Your Shaklee ID number </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">A phone number or e-mail address attendees can use to contact you with questions </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Name of your organization or city group (if you have one) </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Location for the event (including the address and room name if provided) and the maximum number of attendees you can accommodate </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">An overnight shipping address <B>(No PO Boxes)</B> to receive meeting DVD via expedited shipping, if needed</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700a000000000.gif" HEIGHT="11" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Publicize your meeting locally, by advertising your event in community listings, posting and sending your meeting flyer to everyone you know, submitting the Hometown Press Release to your local papers.
