A Respectful Reminder
We're living in a time of uncertainty and divisiveness. It's truly an unparalleled time in history and in our lifetime. Now more than ever, we have to respect and protect one another. Regardless of any ideology or beliefs, SMRBA isn't a place to share or promote them. Whether it's a seemingly clever remark during a meeting, an off-handed comment in the chat, or even the unintentional subtlety of wearing a potentially offensive or demeaning T-shirt on Zoom, this is unwanted behavior.
Our mantra of "no drama and no politics" is more important than ever before. We always want you to consider SMRBA a safe place where you're free from ridicule and judgment. We're here to promote our fellow members, showcase and grow our business, and build strong and satisfying relationships. Let's all be aware, take care, and continue to support and uplift one another.
As always, we thank you for being a member of our SMRBA family.

We are thrilled to welcome Deidre Ketchel with H20 Products. She was invited by Amanda Wright, a recent new member herself, who has already received her referral fee of $40.
H2O is similar to Norwex, for those of you that haven't heard of it, and we think you're going to love what Deidre can bring to our group.
