Dear {$user.name_f}:
We received good feedback on the HTML format of our last seminary newsletter, so we will continue sending out information in that fashion. Click here if you cannot read this message.
FREE CALENDAR OFFER
This is a membership drive idea from our Creatologist, Debra Woods Hamilton. She is so handy with Photoshop and has been working with a stable of LDS artists to create a new thing we call the Download Depot club. Basically, for a low monthly subscription, you get two complete LDS clipart collections and two fonts to download each month. You can sign up for a free Club sampler; you get samples of our January and February collections. Go to your membership page and select Club Sampler from the list in the Add/Renew Subscription Section. You will have to select a payment method, but no payment will be processed when you click Order.
But the real reason for mentioning the club, is to tell you about our free calendar offer. While everyone knows someone else who serves in Primary or is a Seminary teacher or loves to make beautiful handouts for church, etc, who would absolutely LOVE one of our subscriptions at LDV, taking the extra minute to actually send off an email to them isn't a top priority in our day - SO - we added some incentive to take that minute NOW!
Debra is working with 14 super talented artists who are designing our art collections for the Download Depot Club this year - and they have agreed to share their fabulous art to create a stunning 2007 LDS Calendar, as a thank you gift to anyone who takes that minute today to contact a friend about Latter-day Village. If someone you refer subscribes to any of our wonderful paid subscriptions, you BOTH will receive this digital download calendar FREE!

VALENTINE IDEAS
Many seminary teachers like to use holidays to teach special lessons, hold activities, or do something different for scripture mastery. WE have a good collection of Valentines day ideas. Look them over now to see if there is something you want to try.
Graduation Gift Ideas
If you are teaching in the northern hemisphere, is it too early to budget for graduation gifts? With the limited funds you have to work with, probably not. We have a few low cost suggestions listed below. We encourage you to shop early as some items have limited availability.

SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS
We had good participation after last newsletter's request for ideas. To repeat, there are seminary classes being taught all around the world, some in the most obscure and remote places. Your idea could be a scripture mastery game, object lesson, devotional, teaching tip, lesson quote or resource, or a complete Readiness /Participate /Application gem. Whatever it is, even if you used it several months ago, share it now. Someone, somewhere, sometime, will benefit from your willingness to share.
You can share in several ways:
Thanks in advance for your willingness to participate in this with all of the site community members.
Best Regards,
