LATEST NEWS from THE FREE SITE:
__________________________________________________________
We had a wonderful response to our recent "Mother's Day Freebies"
section. We appreciate all the kind notes, tips and suggestions that
we received. For all the moms out there reading this, I hope you had
a wonderful day!
We plan on doing a freebies section for Father's Day (June 20) as
well. Look for it on The Free Site in early June.
This was an eventful past couple of weeks for The Free Site. The site
was featured (again) on CNN Headline News. We were also featured on
KMSP-TV's "Minnesota Nine News" in April. Thanks!
Incidentally, if you don't know why you're on this mailing list and
would like to be removed, it's very easy to unsubscribe:

Sample offers come and go quickly on the Web. We apologize if
you find a sample offer that's no longer valid.
If a sample site is hard to access, it's likely because it's swamped
by our subscribers. If this is the case, wait a few hours and
