NEW MEMBER REFERRAL AWARD EXTENDED!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Modern
Italian Network is growing fast and we would like to reward members who
help us reach our goal of becoming THE website for people passionate
about Italy and Italian culture.
We
announced the award of a "chocolate connoisseur's dream come
true" from DItalia.com for the most referrals in the month of June
2008. The gift basket includes a heavenly assortment of Italy's finest
imported chocolates and candies, as listed below.
Our
minimum for the award was unfortunately not reached (10) but we are
happy with the response. We've extended the award to the end of July
and have also added an additional gift from our friend and member, Michela Musolino,
a very talented Sicilian folk music artist. Her work is also available
on the Modern Italian Store. Michela will provide the member who
refers the most people to Modern Italian with an autographed copy of
her CD, Songs of Trinacria. This is a very special CD full of Sicilian folk songs performed in Michela's very distinct and beautiful way.
It's
easy to refer a member- just forward them this email and inform them to
register on My.ModernItalian.Org. They will need to enter your name in
the box entitled, "Referred by" during the registration process. At
