“Where did you propose to your wife?”

“Where did you propose to your wife?”

That was the featured question in our February edition of Ambassador's Update newsletter. If you didn't get a copy, please let us know!

Paul Hollinger (formerly of WDAC/Lancaster) shared with us how he proposed to his wife:

While students at Moody, I invited Sylvia on our first date, to take the subway to Chicago’s tallest building, the Prudential Observatory. There we saw millions of lights in every direction beneath us. The posh rotating restaurant behind us was not affordable! One year later, March 21, 1958, we returned to celebrate our first “anniversary.” From those lofty heights, I proposed and Sylvia accepted, even though the cost of the diamond kept our backs to the restaurant, our faces to the lights beneath, the stars above and our eyes for each other.

Plasma give-away a hit at NRB!

People will go to any length to assure a win! One station rep went so far as to "announce" the drawing for Ambassador's plasma give-away for the wrong day--hoping to ward off the competition!

As the crowd of eager "hopefuls" gathered on Tuesday for the big moment--the first card was drawn and read--"The winner is. . .Heide Jones from HCJB Global!" But according to rules of the drawing--you have to be there to win and Heide was in meetings elsewhere.

After drawing two more "no-shows"--the winner was Jeff and Rachael Bean from WCRH in Hagerstown, Maryland where Jeff is General Manager.

Jeff's smiling face--shown here with Peggy and Jim--says it all! (And they were able to squeeze it into their Suburban!) Congratulations Jeff and Rachael!

A Day at NRB . . .

A great Sunday at NRB . . . started the day with John MacArthur then a special afternoon of fellowship. It's been a great day for catching up with friends and the proverbial "putting a face to the name"--like our friends, Ralf Stores and Chris Johnson at TWR (see picture--which includes our newest Ambassador team member, KiYong!). Looking forward to seeing you in our Hospitality Suite tomorrow (Presidential Boardroom A)--the day starts at 9:00AM . . . click here for schedule details: http://www.ambassadoradvertising.com/nrb2009/home.html. See you tomorrow!

The Start of NRB!

We made it-- the Ambassador Team has arrived . . . "uneventful" flights (the kind we like!) and now settling in at Opryland. The day started with a wake-up call from Kellie Pickler (you can choose from a selection on your room phone!) to coffee at Java Coast (Hey Allen Power . . . since you asked--that's the place to go for coffee!) Catching up with friends in the Garden Conservatory and now heading into a luncheon meeting. Looking forward to connecting -- stop by our Hospitality Suite (Presidential Boardroom A) and/or post a blog!

NRB Tips!

It’s the Tuesday before NRB 2009, here at Ambassador we’re getting ready to head into our last team NRB meeting. Here are some “tricks of the trade” we’ve learned through the years that you might find helpful:

> Send out a reminder email to anyone you plan to meet with at NRB (confirm time/location).
> Make sure you have contact information for anyone you are meeting with—for those last minute changes!
> Make reservations through the convention hotel before you arrive. It eases the preparation and things to do once you get there.
> Wear comfortable shoes. (Consider buying cushy shoe inserts so you too can be “gellin!").
> Bring a reusable water bottle--key word: hydration!
> Give yourself extra time to get to meetings as you’ll run into people in the halls and it’ll take twice the time you anticipated.
