Member ,

If you haven't visited EMTBravo.com recently, you're missing out on a lot. We know you don't have time to read a lengthy email like this one (but HOPE YOU DO, we've put a lot in here!), so just go to http://www.emtbravo.com to find out what's going on.

First, we'd like more people to know about our site. This email does a pretty good job explaining what's going on with us. So, if you want to, please forward this email to any friends, co-workers, or peers that may be interested in the content on our site.  LET YOUR PEERS KNOW, FOWARD THIS EMAIL TO THEM!

Have you heard our site's new slogan? "WORK TOGETHER, WIN TOGETHER". Pretty much describes what we want the site to be about and breed. If we all work together, get along, are open minded, then we will all win....together. Look for more on this slogan as we officially launch it next week.
