asap cancún 2009 trip — earn double points in december 12

december ’08 dear consultant,I hope I am the first, on behalf of Arbonne, to wish you a very happy holiday season! During this special time of gatherings with family and friends, remember you are part of a larger, extended family of Consultants and Clients who enjoy our amazing products and life-changing opportunity. Arbonne is your chance to give back; to give a gift that has the power to work miracles — on the inside and out-side — if you believe. I believe in our products, I believe in our business and most of all, I believe in each of you. My heart is full, especially at this time of year, when I see what a difference all of you are making in the lives of those you know and those you have yet to meet. It is so gratifying and I am so proud of all of you! This month marks the end of the “As You Wish” Holiday 2008 collection, so be sure to get your favorites while supplies last! Also in December, we launch the 2009 ASAP incentive trip to a destination that is back by popular demand: The Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancún, Mexico! Now is the time to start working toward this incredible excursion happening next year, because during December, we will double your ASAP points for the trip!As I reflect on 2008, it was a year filled with exciting firsts for our great company. We celebrated our first anniversary in Australia and the UK, and each of those countries hosted their first NTC event. We also honored our first Regional Vice Presidents in those countries. We introduced our first-ever line of detoxifying spa products. We also launched our first online Presentation program, ArbonneInvites and created the electronic e-Newsletter. We produced our first publication targeted to women in the industry: Empowering Women Magazine. Finally, the Sojourner Center named October 13th “Arbonne International Day” in honor of our charitable donations to the women’s shelter. It has been a year with so many firsts to cele-brate and together, they helped make 2008 great! It all leads us to this conclusion: That 2009 is going to be the best year in Arbonne history. You heard it here first. We wish you a warm and wonderful holiday season and a very happy New Year, too. The future is bright and there is so much excitement ahead … I can hardly wait to see you next year!Love ya,

rita davenportpresident
