Hello faithful readers!

I have to tell you, things have been AWFULLY exciting around the office lately. We just have SO much going on!

As you might know (since I can't stop talking about it) we are gearing up for our fifth anniversary. That's right, the August/September 2010 issue will commemorate our 5th anniversary as a publication. I am so, so proud to be part of this amazing team and to be responsible for what I consider to be the penultimate MAO resource.

So there's that. SO EXCITING.

In honor of our anniversary, we have someone VERY SPECIAL scheduled to be on the cover.

No, no, - I can't tell you! I have been sworn to secrecy and oh, it's killing me.

But you can guess!

I will give you a few hints:

She is a former Miss America.

She is awesome.

Anyway, we are also doing a very exciting readership survey right now. We are planning for the NEXT five years and we want to know what you think!

By using this link:

you can reach our survey and fill it out. And when you fill out the survey, you are AUTOMATICALLY entered in a drawing to win $100.

Very exciting stuff! So go ahead and tell us what you think - we can take it!

And of course, this is a very exciting time of year because new titleholders are getting crowned left and right.

A hearty congratulations to our new OTs and Misses, and a heartfelt goodbye to the wonderful young women giving up their crowns.

What is exciting in your world?
