If you are someone who has providing professional wedding services for any length of time, you surely have noticed the evolution of today's bride. She comes armed with clippings, magazines, dayplanners, web site information, and much more.

She's accruing a lot of information, much of it not very helpful. To help you understand the bride's current psyche and how to best reach her, we bring you "Marketing and Selling to the 21st Century Bride" presented by Andy Ebon.

Community Service:
A HUGE thank you to all who have generously donated their time and food donations to Street Teens. We have successfully donated a hot meal to Street Teens every Wednesday since March 12. We still need more of you to get involved. Please contact Robyn Mathis at robyn@awaxgrp.com to sign up.

We are continuously collecting pop top food cans (especially Chef Boyardee), Canned Chili, Mac & Cheese, Canned Fruit, Granola bars and Poptarts for Street Teens. Grocery gift cards or meal coupons to fast food restaurants are always much appreciated. The food provided at the Street Teens "santcuary" is often times the only they will have for the day.
