The Gifts of March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, this will be an unusually short article. Why \u2013 because the montage of enclosed pictures tells the story better than I can. Hundreds of shops getting checks. I met MTM members I have called upon for 8 years. I met some long term members, some new members that I had not visited before. To speed the delivery process my thanks to agents who agreed to deliver checks, to MTM Loss Control staff who worked for 3 weeks delivering checks in-between Loss Control visits and to Megan Brown, VP of Sales who is the fastest driver of the delivery team. The goal was to get the money to MTM members in three weeks. A check gift is not nearly as attractive if delivered in 6 or 8 weeks. In a few locations, some checks were delivered by mail. Our least preferred delivery method. Most checks were delivered by a real person delivering to a real customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy the pictures. A couple comments on pictures: Some MTM members (mostly ladies) are camera shy. Their comments: Really, I have to take a picture? Some of the pictures show the steps these ladies will go to, to avoid a picture. Notice the check covering the face one. Notice the robot holding the check vs the office manager. You get the drift.<\/p>\n\n\n

Delivering $4,000,000 is very fun. Let\u2019s do it again next March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
