sc We are excited to introduce our new Membership Package! This is available for the Not for Profits with 501c3 Status.

We recognized the challenge that most non profits face as they "hope" that their press releases get picked up, and the cost of advertising when they need to get the work out. Every penny they have to spend to create awareness is less that they can spend on their mission. Our program gives them a set amount of space that allows them to schedule their pages when they need it most, and at a low membership fee so that more of their dollars can go to those in need.

A Business or Individual has sponsored many of our New Members. We would like to sincerely thank our Member Sponsors:
Dr. Nancy O'Reilly Psy.D
Mr. and Mrs. William H. Darr
Southwestern Women's Health, LLC, E.A. Begiun Jr MD, FACOG
Tom and Marsha Alaight
dvLaRue Design, Printing and Development
Cox Health Systems
