With only two weeks remaining in the program, this is a reminder to submit all of your activity reports to us by the end of the day on March 31st.

 

This is your chance to turn in ALL UNREPORTED ACTIVITY for the entire program. It is also once final push to boost your point totals for the final round of CASH REWARDS!!!

 

 

Each of you has a commitment to us to earn at least 100 points by the end of the program; you will be receiving an email with your current points total. Those of you who have not yet reached your contracted 100 points, will need to take the time to upload your photos and reports this week.

 

 

Don't forget to include MGD 64 in your St. Patrick's Day celebrations today!

TEAM MGD 64 UPDATES

Posted by brianlaw Feb 27, 2009

 

Hey Everyone!

 

Can you believe February will already be over after tomorrow?! Where does the time go?

 

 

You all have been extremely active in promoting MGD 64 this past month which has been reflected in all of the activity reports coming in. Our Team Video Contest ended yesterday and we will be taking the next week to review the videos and determine the winners. Thank you to all who submitted a video!!

 

 

Just a reminder that we need you to submit all of your _un-reported _activity to date by Monday morning. The cash reward earners will be selected on Monday so be sure to keep yourself in the running!!

 

 

Earlier this week, the brand posted the MGD 64 product locator on www.mgd64.com. There is also a widget that is basically a smaller version of the locator that you can place on your personal pages and share with all of your friends. We highly encourage you to use and share this fun tool!

 

 

The widget is located: http://www.mgd64.com/locator/get_widget.html or can be downloaded from http://www.mgd64.com/.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Brenda, Kristin, Jackelyn, Mike, Tyler, Arnoldo and Jana,

 

 

I just spoke with your fellow MGD 64 teammate, Brian Van Beusekom, and he mentioned that he is putting on a 24 hour Indoor Ultra-Marathon Fundraiser event (using treadmills!) and would love to have you all come on out in your MGD 64 apparel and participate!

 

 

Check out the event's webpage where you can read an inspiring article about Brian (B.J.) and the meaning behind this unique event.

B.J.'s run will start on Monday, February 2^nd at 12:00pm and will end on Tuesday, February 3rd ^at 12:00pm.  It will take place at the API Training Center located at 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway, Suite #26, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430.  If we weren't all the way in San Diego, we would be coming out to support you, B.J.!

 

 

Please reach out to B.J. at drejdrop@hotmail.com directly for more information.

Team Management will host the first round of judging and will narrow the entries down to the top five (5) photos.

Happy Thanksgiving TEAM MGD64!

 

Warm wishes for a wonderful holiday weekend with your family and friends.

 

With less than a week until December 1st we would like to encourage all of you to incorporate MGD 64 into your holiday festivities. It will go great with your home-cooked feasts as it is the lightest calorie beer on the market! Remember to take lots of photos and submit them with your reports by Sunday night.

 

Let's give it one last push for the month of November and show them what it is all about Team. As of today, the current market high score is as follows for the month of November:

 

 

  • Minneapolis: 235

 

The overall market high score for the month of November is currently 300 points. You still have 5 days to beat out the competition - we know that you can do it!

 

I look forward to hearing about your weekend's events when I pull the report on Monday and again have a very safe and happy holiday.

 

Warm regards,

 

Team MGD64 Management

Welcome to the Team MGD 64 Minneapolis Blog. We created this blog so you and your fellow MGD 64 ambassadors could collaborate and communicate with each other regarding all things MGD 64. Not only can you alert your peers about upcoming happy hours and social events, but also build personal relationships with your market and maybe find a new drinking buddy or two! Your market may prove to be your biggest help throughout your sponsorship because they are experiencing the same things you are.

 

 

Happy Blogging!

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

Team MGD 64 Manager
