We are happy to introduce Leah Nelson, our feature customer of the month for June! Leah is currently a Senior Director for Mary Kay Cosmetics and uses our SimpleVoiceBox, FreeConferenceCall, and SimpleBlast services on a weekly basis. These services help her connect with her team in a way she didn't think was possible. Find out how from our interview with Leah below.

1. How often do you use our services? 2-3 times a week! I'm constantly using FreeConferenceCall and SimpleVoiceBox to get information out to my team. It's the quickest and easiest way to stay connected with the girls.
2. How do you use SimpleVoiceBox for Business? I always record the conference calls I have with the team. After every call, I upload the recording to my SimpleVoiceBox account so the girls can refer back to the call or if someone missed it, they can still get the information we covered.
3. How else have you utilized SimpleVoiceBox? I'm also a Realtor and have used SimpleVoiceBox for different properties I've listed. People call into the number, listen to information about the details of a home being sold and can leave a message for me to call them back at a later time.
4. How has SimpleVoiceBox helped you succeed? SimpleVoiceBox has allowed me to reach more people in a personal, yet professional manner. It's helped my business grow in ways I never thought possible. Thank you FreeConferenceCall.com!

In exactly one month, on Saturday, July 21, Children Today will host its 4th Annual Run/Walk Fundraiser. The event, consisting of a 5k and a 10k, will take place at Marina Green Park in Downtown Long Beach, CA. After last year's successful event, we have signed on as a lead sponsor for a fourth year. In addition to supporting the event, we have agreed to match every dollar raised through this year's Run/Walk. All proceeds will go to Children Today, advocating and providing for children facing homelessness, including quality early childcare and educational programs. We are excited to be involved with an organization that is making a huge impact in the fight against homelessness here in Long Beach.
