National Safety Month

What comes to mind when you think of “Safety Month”? I’ll admit it – I think of a kid on rollerblades in so much protective gear he can hardly skate. Hey, they didn’t have any of that stuff when I was a kid and I’m still here! But the truth is, we’ve learned a lot over the years and being safe is easier and more practical than you think.

Taking the proper precautions for you and your family can be as simple as: bringing sunscreen when outdoors, being aware and prepared when swimming or around water, and keeping well-hydrated in extreme heat. Of course, there are other things to keep in mind, too, but the point is –- it’s easy to be safe once you know how!

MySurvey Newsletter and July Recipes

I know that summer is a busy time for everyone so we have decided to combine the June and July editions of Opinion Matters into one newsletter. The June/July edition will be delivered to your inbox during the second week of July with all the usual information including recent sweepstakes winners, featured prizes and the latest survey results. We will return to our normal monthly schedule in August.

Also, I’m extending the deadline for July recipe submissions until Thursday, June 26, 2008. We are looking for your best grilling and barbeque recipes and will feature the best submissions in the Member Recipes section next month. Perhaps you have a recipe for grilled vegetables or barbeque sauce you’d like to share with our members. Remember, you’ll receive bonus points if your recipe is selected for the website!
