Hello, Advisors! We know you are all looking forward to time with friends and family over the holidays! We are too. We also know that when we’re in action, you’re in action. So we are going to give you and our Home Office team a well-deserved break.
Home Office will be closed Thursday and Friday, Dec. 25-26, which creates a 4-day weekend for our whole community. This means we’ll skip the Advisor Update email on Dec. 26 so you can relax and enjoy a long weekend.
We will be posting notices about the break in our Advisor Groups and the Virtual Crop Group, and closing posts/comments in the groups Dec. 25-28 so everyone can focus on making lasting memories with the people they love. We’ll fire everything back up on Dec. 29.
You’ll also want to note that the January product launch will be Friday, Jan. 2. You’ll receive the preview in your Dec. 29 Advisor Weekly email.

New Advisor Spotlight
Every journey starts with a first step — and this new Advisor is off to a fantastic start. Let’s celebrate their recent accomplishment!
“For myself, I'm hosting a Festive Cardmaking night next week - It's my first Creative Memories event. I have eight ladies planning to come. One of my friends also invited a few people who can't make it this time, but are interested in future events. I'm starting to make a list of contacts, and planning future creative events for various target groups!”
