OK - anyone sitting on the fence about the Poly Cons containers or other Paron products (photo bags, postcards, etc) - Pat just
called me to announce a special for the next 10 days. From now until Sept 3 all orders over $20 get FREE SHIPPING!
note: the shipping will show automatically on
the online order form, but will be deducted manually when your order is
filled and charged.
To recap - Poly Cons come in several sizes and shapes and are
great for doing YOUR OWN individual scents melted down. Read more about it in the
Paron Business Aids forum or on the
What's New - June page, where there are photos of the Poly Cons used to
make Votive samplers and details on how to do it. (Or visit the Paron website - duh - LOL -
www.paronbusinessaids.com
) Pictured are the 1 oz size that fit
tealights WITHOUT MELTING.
If you use the 1/4 oz size -
Marcianna created an awesome replacement
lid insert for your regular votive organizer.

I just got off the phone with Kristen Johnson (Communications Dept)
and it was a very enlightening and good conversation. Let's just say
it's really not home office against the free world...they are VERY aware
of the BoB site and for the most part agree that it is a great reference
site. Where we continue to disagree is that there are some people in the
HO that still feel we are trying to associate ourselves with the company
by name - on the internet - ie: advertising our affiliation. And I don't
think there's any way to change that perception - even though we work
extremely hard to POLICE our own usage of the name on a daily basis -
there is the appearance of association with our particular company just
because everyone is so excited and wants to share that excitement. The
best I can do is what I have already (and always have) done - the
disclaimer on the very opening page of Best of the Boards, and the
footer disclaimer at the bottom of every page on BoB, and to continue to
"police" the message board posts for incorrect or inaccurate
information or usage of the company name.
Again - the only way I think this will ever change is
to continue to show the positive influence of the internet - even when
we agree to disagree. Belinda, webmaster

Another Letter from Home Office.
Sorry Canadian Consultants - I received another letter from the
Communications Department this morning with a specific *request* to
remove the link to the Canadian Extranet. They even printed off the page
and highlighted it.
I am going to reproduce the letter itself here in
hopes that any of you who are considering creating a webpage for
yourself will be more aware of the possible ramifications.
