Can you believe May is almost over? We hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! We have an exciting Main Squeeze this month, with a downloadable coupon and great information. There is an update on our Healthy Challenge which now has over 800 participants! According to Jill Fleming, RD, if you began the Healthy Challenge back in January and stuck with it, you could have lost at least 40 pounds by now! If that makes you a tad discouraged – join us now and you can still look and feel better in time for summer! Marlo Mittler, RD, has an article about soda and schools, a subject that has been in the news recently. Also, we have some great recipes provided by our customers.

Finally, we hope you'll read the article about David (the creator of True Lemon® and True Lime™ and president of Grand Brands) being a finalist in the 2006 Maryland Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. It's a great honor and much of it is due to you – our customers!

True Lemon® and True Lime™ creator finalist for E&Y 2006 Entrepreneur of the Year Award!

To describe David Schleider is to describe someone completely focused on a dream. Five years ago, when David told friends and family that he was going to put the fresh taste of lemon in a packet, he was told it was impossible. Three years ago, when he told industry experts that his goal was to take True Lemon® national, he again was told that such a feat would be impossible for a tiny company with one product and almost no resources. Today, True Lemon® and True Lime™ are available in more than 15,000 stores and each day more and more people incorporate David's dream into their life.

And in recognition of this achievement, Ernst & Young (one of the largest professional services firms in the world, and a "Big 4" accountancy firm) has named David a finalist for their Maryland Entrepreneur of The Year ® 2006 award.

HEALTH TIPS:
Soda in Schools: Our schools just got a little healthier! by Marlo Mittler, RD

Have you heard the latest news? It seems that the nation's schools are about to improve their grades when it comes to being healthy. In fact, thanks to the efforts set forth by the William J. Clinton Foundation, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the American Heart Association, the availability of soda in schools is about to change.

How do you use True Lemon® or True Lime™?

"I like to get a cup of hot water, add a bit of True Lime™, a bit of honey, and sometimes a tea bag. It makes me feel calm when I cannot sleep. I have had a sleep disorder since I was 5 years old and the doctors do not know what causes it. But, your product in warm water helps me relax enough to fall asleep. That's a big deal for someone who goes 2 or 3 nights without any sleep at all!"

Nancy C., Cedar Springs, MI

"Take a couple (or more) packets of True Lime™ and some coarse ground pepper and some garlic (ground/powdered) mix together really well and sprinkle on a baked potato!   Add a little sour cream and butter and enjoy.  It is really a tasty treat."

Sherry L., Knoxville, TN

"When I make my lunch to take to classes, etc., I like to take apple slices in a snack bag. I found that if I shake some True Lemon® on them, they don't turn brown and they taste great! 

 Judy D., Fishkill, NY

"Every once in a while I enjoy a gin and tonic.  Last week I invited a friend for a drink and I didn't have a lime. I put in a packet of True Lime™ in the drink.  Guess what, I will never use a fresh lime for my drinks again!" 

Mollie R., Ocean Pines, MD
