It’s been a while since I’ve written in this corner of Cyberspace, and for that I want to apologize.

The summer’s always a dicey time for the blog for a number of reasons: vacation time is one; workload is another. Simply put, there are a lot of catalogues and other materials coming out in September and those things don’t get signed off and translations proofed on their own!

But things are regaining their normalcy (I don’t want to say slowing down – that’s yet to happen), so expect more activity on this blog.

So what’s been going on this summer? Well, for one we received two amazing awards from the Direct Sellers Association of Canada: the Making a Difference Award, for our efforts with the Easter Seals Drop Zone, and our communications manager Angela Abdallah was awarded the Ivan P. Phelan Award – the organization’s top individual recognition – for her contribution to the industry in Canada.

We’ve also been heavily involved in Canadian soccer, from a phenomenal fourth edition of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship, to Active Start festivals, to the Nutrilite All-Stars tournaments. And, of course, we’re about to announce the winner of the Nutrilite VIP Soccer Sweepstakes – which kicks off an autumn filled with World Cup qualification events for the national men’s team.

And, of course, the first couple of Easter Seals Drop Zone events have taken place, with more on the horizon. In fact, we’ll be front and centre at London, ON’s first event! There’s still time for you to support this amazing cause. Visit the Amway Canada Facebook page and click on the Drop Zone tab for more details!

Now we’re gearing up for the start of the new business year! We’re looking forward to what the future has in store and, as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the summer that was – and the year that’s ahead!

Comments are open. All the best,
