5 Star MVP (Most Valuable POSTER) Award

[Linda Buquet]

To commemorate the end of summer and the start of September,
the getting back to business month - we want to start a little
contest to recognize our top 5 Star contributors/posters.

The MVP Award (Most Valuable POSTER) will simply go to the person each month that we think stands out as a good contributor, insightful poster, helpful 5 Star member. You won't need to do anything special for this -except be a committed poster! There will be no vote, it will simply be the members over the course of each month that we think deserves recognition.

CONTEST RULES:

Really there arent many, this will be very informal at this point and we might make up more rules as we go along.

The contest starts today September 1st. Some time after the end of each month we will announce the winner of the month IF there is one. Some months there could be no clear winner and we reserve the right not to award one.

This isn't like a contest anyone should be TRYING to win anyway. We want to reward members that are just naturally committed to 5 Star and to helping our members, not someone just trying to win a contest.

The winner will get a 5 Star MVP custom title or badge to wear (time length TBD) plus a strong mention and show of support in this thread. Plus will be announced and linked to as the MVP of the month in the forum statistics section of the home page.

Thanks in advance to all of our "Stars".
Are you MVP material???

I'm proud to announce our MVP (Most Valuable Poster) for January 08.

It's Sheree AKA marketingmama
(Where's that clapping hands or dancing mango smilie, when you need it?)

When you take a look at the POST QUALITY, not just the quantity of posts she made
in January you'll see why she's a 5 Star MVP! (Click her profile link above to read all her posts.)

Sheree just joined us in December and her 1st month earned our Bright New Star Award.

Here are some of the reasons we chose Sheree for this month's award.

She is fully engaged in 5 Star and acts like she is part of our family.
Her posts are always so positive and she posts for the right reasons - to help others!
Whether she is welcoming new members, asking questions or answering questions
she always has a 5 Star Attitude!

Sheree just got a shiny new MVP badge to wear throughout the month of February.

Thanks Sheree for all you do.
We appreciate you!
