And while you're planning your summer vacation on my WEBSITE, don't forget these tips from the American Cancer Society:

Beach vacations, cookouts, festivals - summer is the time for fun in the sun. But sun exposure can cause skin cancer and premature aging. Are you safe every day? Test your Sun Safety IQ. You can learn more about developing sun-safe habits for all ages in the Sun Safety area of www.cancer.org. Below are some sun safety tips and recommendations from the American Cancer Society.
PROTECT YOURSELF:
•
Try to limit the time you are in the sun, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV light is most intense.
•
Use a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher on all skin exposed to the sun, even on hazy or partly cloudy days.
•
Apply sunscreen generously at least 20 to 30 minutes before going outside, and wear sunglasses.
•
Reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming, sweating, vigorous activity, or towel drying.
•
Wear hats with broad brims, shirts with long sleeves, and tightly woven clothing.
CHECK YOURSELF:
Become familiar with your birthmarks, moles, and blemishes so you know what they usually look like.
If you find anything that looks different, see your doctor. This includes any changes in size, texture, shape, and color of blemishes, or a sore that does not heal.
Check your skin monthly so you'll be more likely to notice any changes or even find a skin cancer when it's still small. Also, ask your doctor to check your skin during regular check-ups.
Examine all areas. Although most skin cancers develop in areas that get lots of sun exposure, tumors may also affect your palms, fingernails, and feet, too. Ask a loved one to help you check any hard-to-see places

Golf in St. Louis Anybody?

The Lou Brock Hall of Fame Golf Classic, the longest running celebrity tournament in St. Louis, benefits the ECHO Foundation Fund, and is a major annual event that helps children and their families in the St. Louis area.

In 2007, this event raised more than $100,000 and this year the goal is even greater! ECHO has been serving the needs of St. Louis area children since it opened in 1889 as an orphan's home and its mission has not changed in the intervening years - equipping children and their families with the tools necessary to lead productive and self-sufficient lives.

YTB considers it an honor to be the title sponsor of the Lou Brock Hall of Fame Golf Classic.

Lou Brock is on the Board of Directors at YTB. I just wanted to share this with you because YTB is such a great company to be a part of!

Check your local listings!

DIRECTV Channel 307, DISH NETWORK Channel 239, COMCAST is Channel 9

Check out this earlier POST too!

UPDATE:

Television station WGN AMERICA decided that YTB's amazing Lady Liberty being built for the 2008 YTB National Convention was important enough to make it their Cover Story. The video is now available via this direct link and it's something that those of us in YTB should be proud of.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While this is purely speculation at this point, I have to wonder if UPS will take advantage of being the "Official Transporter" of Lady Liberty from Lake County to St. Louis with a 3 mile long caravan of 80 UPS trucks the first week in August. There is already word of all three Major networks having press boxes at the Convention along with more than 20,000 Reps and RTA's. Twice the amount of last year and from the looks of it, in 5 years, YTB won't even be able to fit in the Edward R. Jones Dome.
