We're excited to share this "Idea of the Week", submitted by either the MAiZE staff or one of your fellow siteowners. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.
Thanks to All Who Joined Us At the Corn Party!

 
With the 12th annual Corn Party a week behind us, we wanted to thank ALL of you who attended and made it such a success. It's truly one of the highlights of the year for all of us to gather together, renew & create friendships, share ideas & learn from each other. This year didn't disappoint and we are so grateful to work with such a wonderful group of people!

Conference DVDs Mailing Out Next Week
Sponsored by

 
Though the presentations are online, several of you expressed that you'd like to receive them on a dvd instead and we're happy to announce that we'll be shipping those out next week. Due to the generous sponsorship of of Donald & Vicki Courville at Cajun Country Corn, every farm who attended the Corn Party will be sent one FREE of charge! 
 
For those who didn't attend, you can purchase a dvd and/or binder by emailing kamille@themaize.com to receive purchase instructions.
 
Sign Up to Claim Your 2013 Corn Party FREE Cruise!

 
For those of you who missed the Corn Party, you missed out on a big surprise! During the opening session, each farm was given an envelope that would determine whether or not they'd won a very special Golden Heart award, earning them a free cruise. Well, if you haven't already heard, EVERY envelope was a winner, meaning that EVERY farm is receiving a FREE CRUISE (farms who've been with the MAiZE family are receiving 2 free cruises!). Don't worry if you weren't at the Corn Party...you are still a winner too!
 
For all of you, the first step in claiming your free cruise is to CLICK HERE and provide us with a bit of info that will help us to start the planning process. We'll continue to update you and provide additional details throughout the year. Please note that you must click on the link above and complete the questions in order to receive your free cruise.
 
Though plans may change, we are currently thinking the 2013 Corn Party will include:
- an optional half or full-day bus tour in the area selected as our cruise departure city.
- a day of meetings in a hotel
- the conference will conclude with the cruise where we'll have informal roundtable discussions/light presentations each day, leaving the majority of the time for having fun & enjoying each other's company!
