Note from Diane: Hi! When I first started the website and newsletter, I didn't know much about anything as far as websites and emails were concerned. Slowly (sometimes very slowly) I am learning about things I should (and should not) do when building websites and sending emails. My most recent "should not" is that I should not assume that the links in my newsletter work for everyone! I was surprised recently when my Sis-In-Law showed me what my newsletter looks like in AOL (and more surprised to see what my website looks like in AOL!, but that I'll address a little bit later.). Then I heard that links don't work in Hotmail either! Now I know to include in my newsletter the following: If the links do not work then, please highlight everything between the brackets < >, copy what you've highlighted and then paste the copied text into your browser. Thank you for your patience!! Diane
ps: We will be out of town May 4 through May 7. I won't be checking my email because we will be on a *cruise* and I'm told that the access fee is $9.50 per minute from the ship (besides which it's no fun to !! I promise to answer your email(s) as soon as we return!!

2. MOTHER'S DAY, FATHER'S DAY, GRAD'S DAY!!
What does this have to do with contracting, you ask? Well, if you have a special mom, special dad and/or a special grad then chances are you are looking for a gift for that special person(s). I am hoping that you will take a look at some of the links I have compiled, for your shopping ease and my potentiol commission! I have links to FTD Florists, 1-800-FLOWERS, Amazon.com, and many others for you to see. If you click on one of more of the links and order, (for example let's say you click on the 1-800-FLOWERS image and place an order on-line to have flowers delivered to your special someone), I will earn a minimal commission. These commissions (when combined together) will hopefully help me to keep publishing the newsletter and website.

4. ANNOUNCEMENTS
*****Our cries have been answered! We are located in Victorville in the High Desert where the amount of new commercial and residential construction activity is absolutely tremendous. Finding one place that lists all of these projects has been impossible, until now!
Take a look at "The Contractor's Construction Update" <http://www.TheContractorsGroup.com/The_C_C_U>, dedicated to keeping the construction industry informed!
*****Have you seen my Industry Links page? Check it out, the links are specific to the contracting industry (such as cities for business licenses; organizations for contractors; etc.). I always check this page before I make a call to obtain a business license from another city, 411 is expensive these days! If I don't have listed the city that I need, then I call 411, get the info and add it to my links page, for your use!
