<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#df2b1f;"><strong>Tell a Friend Campaign</strong></span></h1>
<p>Here&#8217;s some food for thought! You now have a chance to win a 3-month or 1-year subscription to the <a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/savingdinner">Saving Dinner Menu-Mailer</a> group on BigTent.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s a Menu-Mailer, you ask? Only the most convenient way to get healthy and helpful dinner recipes at your fingertips. Every week, the Saving Dinner team will send you six mouth-watering recipes, complete with a handy shopping list to get you in and out of the grocery store in record time. You can learn more about <a href="http://www.savingdinner.com/product_info.php/products_id/117">Menu-Mailers here</a>.</p>
<p>We have 30 3-month subscriptions (a $9.95 value) and three 1-year subscriptions (a $29.95 value) to give away. On April 10th, 20th, and 30th, we’ll hold drawings for 10 members each to win a three-month Menu-Mailer subscription. On April 30th, we’ll also select our three grand prize, one-year subscription winners. (We will notify the winner via email and we will announce them here on our Blog.)</p>
<p>In order to win, start using our new &#8220;<a href="https://www.bigtent.com/promote/">Tell a Friend</a>&#8221; feature to spread the word about your BigTent group or groups.</p>
<p><strong>How to Enter</strong></p>
<p>Go to Your BigTent Group Buzz page and click on the “<a href="https://www.bigtent.com/promote/">Tell a Friend</a>” button on the right-hand side of the screen. For every friend you contact through “<a href="https://www.bigtent.com/promote/">Tell a Friend</a>” between now and April 30th, you’ll receive one entry into our prize drawings.</p>
<p><strong>A Few Notes</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Don’t worry if you’ve already told your friends, we’ll include everyone who has used this feature since it was launched on March 19th.</li>
<li>We’re not able to track who uses the Facebook component of the “Tell a Friend” feature, so you’ll have to use the other options to get entered. (Though we still highly encourage you to post about your groups on Facebook.)</li>
<li>Make sure to check with your group admin before you invite people to join the group. In some cases, admins may prefer you to spread the word and point friends to the group&#8217;s webpage.</li>
<li>You can learn more about using &#8220;Tell a Friend&#8221; in this <a href="http://support.bigtent.com/entries/161197" target="_blank">help article</a>.</li>
<li>If you don’t belong to a group where you can invite a lot of people, feel free to join one of these national groups and invite your friends to join these:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/savingdinner">Saving Dinner free newsletter group</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/htsff">How to Shop for Free</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.manicmommies.com/2009/02/join-manic-mommies-under-the-big-tent/">Manic Mommies</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/paleco">Parent Leadership Collaborative</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/nnlc">Neighborhood Leadership Collaborative</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Good Luck and Happy Inviting!</p>
<p>- Rufus and the BigTent team</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please join us in giving a warm welcome to <a href="http://www.bethelnp.org/index.cfm?PAGE_ID168&amp;EXPAND168" target="_blank">Bethel MOPS</a>! This active North Platte, NE group is our first in the state &#8212; a feat we owe to the innovative work of their Publicity Director, Kendra Carper.</p>
<p>In her efforts to spread the word about MOPS, Kendra was delighted to discover BigTent as a web solution for her group. Kendra raves, &#8220;Every part of Big Tent is created as though it was intended for our group!&#8221; She&#8217;s a particular fan of Big Tent&#8217;s color-coded calendar, our folder for sharing newsletters and other documents, and sub-groups for organizing her steering team.</p>
<p>Kendra has been involved with Bethel MOPS for three years. When asked what fuels her community involvement, she said, &#8220;I believe whole-heartedly in MOPS International&#8217;s ministry philosophy that &#8216;Better Moms Make a Better World.&#8217; I love helping women become better mommies, which in turn grows a whole generation of better kids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kendra credits her husband, Steven, for helping her balance her schedule and build quality ministries within her MOPS group. When not working with MOPS, Kendra is busy with her two boys, four-year-old Jackson and one-year-old Brady, and the family&#8217;s &#8220;temperamental dachsund,&#8221; Abby.</p>
<p>Our team applauds your hard work, Kendra, and wishes you and <a href="https://www.bigtent.com/groups/bethelmops" target="_blank">Bethel MOPS</a> the best of luck in your ongoing endeavors!</p>
