Hello Supporters and Members! Happy Spring. I am so happy that the cold weather and snow will be ending soon. Excuse the layout of this message.  I format this email very nicely and NING, the template, messes it up.

I'd first like to welcome all of the newest members to the website. I hope that you can find the support and information that you need. It's so nice to watch all the active members reach out to the newer individuals who join.

Website updates:

Unwanted members: I received all of your messages about Mary Jumbo. I am aware of this intruder and I have no idea what she wants. I keep suspending her but, she keeps joining again. We have to live with it until I can hire a full-time webmaster who can watch over the site all day.

Webmaster: Unfortunately, I have to look for another webmaster. Again! It was a fantastic break while Natalie was working for me  p/t. I'll be looking over resumes and interviewing the next few weeks and I hope to hire someone soon. Feel free to email me with any computer issues, but I don't know how much of a help I can be.

Don't forget important tabs online:

• Games - Test your cognitive skills on Luminosity. Go to The Benign Braves Kids Team tab and click on Brain Games. There are more games under that tab, too. Good luck.
• Groups - There are a number of groups designed for specific issues. There are depression & anxiety, religious discussions, singles & social interactions, childhood survivors now adults, etc.
• Tee-Shirts - Purchase your own It's Just Benign tee-shirt. Observe the reaction when passers-by start wondering what your shirt is about. What will you tell them? Please email me pics of you in your shirt. I'll add it to the Members About Town tab showing of your shirt.

A big thank-you goes out to Lauren Jager Roselle- Lauren, along with myself and her neuro-oncologist, were interviewed for the Asbury Park Press newspaper last Tuesday. The article was about her brain tumor experience and how It's Just Benign helped her. The article comes out next week and I'll put it on the website when I hire a new webmaster. Please contact me if anyone else, outside of NJ,  would like to be interviewed on how It's Just Benign is helping them.

More thank you's for several other members who nominated me for the Self-Women Doing Good contest.

I am really touched that several of you nominated me. If I win, IJB will get $10,000. That would be a big help. Following is the link if any of you would like to nominate me, too.  http://womendoinggood.selfconnected.com/

Affiliate stores - Who doesn't like saving money? Most of us love to save our pennies (or more, if possible) and now you can by printing coupons on It's Just Benign. You can save money on make-up, DVDs, toys, food, restaurants, etc. By clicking the links in the store tab, you help this website. Amazon, ProFLOWERS, Barnes & Noble, Sears, Kmart, Arden B., etc. are all included in the store tab. The most exciting part is that It's Just Benign makes money every time you click on these links and purchase something you need. You don't even need to purchase anything for some of these links. This will ensure that It’s Just Benign can continue to pay for the website, the webmaster, etc. Please try to click on the coupon link whenever you come to the site. Every click helps.

It's Just Benign and benign brain tumor display- I’m working on educating America about the serious consequences benign brain tumors have. My display is in The Metuchen library now. I plan on rotating it all over the USA to libraries, schools, hospitals, etc. Let me know if you have any ideas. Pics are under the “Members around town” tab. 

Fundraiser- I am hoping the first big fundraiser will be this July at a Somerset Patriots game. It's just a nice environment to be in and it's a fun activity to do. It would be great for those who live in NJ, NY, or even PA to meet. I just have to iron out a few more details before it's definitite.

Ads-I have some 4x6 glossies with It's Just Benign mission statement on them. Let me know if any of you want some to give to your neurologist or any specialist. They are to be used to attract new members online and also to help you find locals for yourself. If interested message me with your address.
