		A NEW BORROW SMART INITIATIVE IS LAUNCHED AND WE NEED YOUR HELP.  
		October 17, 2008.  We 
		are launching a new "Responsible Borrowing" initiative for Borrow Smart 
		participating stores.  
		Click here and read about "Borrow Smart Cautions Borrowers During 
		Troubling Times."  This will be 
		released to the press in the coming days.  We expect that the press 
		will be quite interested in this positive story about our industry.
		
		Here is what we need from you 
		in connection with the program.  Please
		click 
		here and download the document and post it in your stores right 
		away.  To download the document click on "File | Save As" 
		in your internet browser while the document is displayed in your 
		internet browser window and save it to your computer.
		
		We suggest that you run the 
		page off on a color printer and place it on your front door and in other 
		conspicuous places around your store.  If you do not have a color 
		printer handy, locate a copy center close by and have them 
		print this for you in color.
		
		If 
		you plan to use the copy center option copy the downloaded file to a USB 
		drive and take it to the copy center.  If you need help with this, 
		please give us a call at 205-733-9926 or
		
		drop us an email.  By the way, the size is 8 1/2 by 11
		
		Please get these up 
		by Thursday, October 23rd!  We expect the press will be checking on us 
		and it would obviously be good for them to see these posters.  We know 
		from the Holiday 
		Tips initiative last year that the press will respond (as 
		they did here).
		
		WE NEED YOUR STORE INFORMATION FOR THE BORROW SMART WEB SITE -- ASAP.  
		October 5, 2007.  The new Borrow Smart 
		web site will be open for business real soon.  One important 
		section of the new web site is a place where customers go to find Borrow 
		Smart approved lenders.  In connection with this we need a list of 
		your stores.  Please pull your information together and click on 
		the Enter Info link below to enter your store information.
