Cross and help make a difference in someone’s life today! Banded
together we can make things happen!
We have three

in the online perks of belonging to the team. There’s something for
everyone, so make sure and check it out today if your membership is expiring

know what the new options are!!
Don’t forget
that NST chats have been moved to Sunday nights after the conclusion of
our poll! If you haven’t been to a chat in a while we would LOVE
to see you! Our sessions are held in AIM at 9 PM EST. If we
don’t already have your AIM ID let us know so we can add you to our buddy
list and invite you when the chat starts!
We thank everyone
who voted in our monthly poll on Yahoo! It seems that issue 4 of
the Official Newsletter was the favorite! Your vote counts and allows
us to find out what you like best! Look for our newest poll at: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nelsonteam/polls.
The Official
EBay auctions begin either every Tuesday or Thursday and always end on
Sunday. We have had lots of super cool items listed in the last few
weeks and more are on the way. For the most extra special personal
and rare items be sure to look for the seller “mattngunnelson”.
We are finishing
up on getting the winter edition of the newsletter together. Our
deadline has passed, but we are always looking for show reviews; photos
of either shows or NST related events and anything else you would like
to contribute! For those of you who haven’t signed up for an e-pal
shoot us an e-mail at nstquestions@yahoo.com and tell us about your interests!!
E-Pals is an excellent way at making friends. Many of us here at
the NST have made life long friends while sharing our love of the Nelsons’
music!
Please send
us your suggestions! We continue to strive to make this the most
interactive and fun fan club out there! Ideas submitted are greatly appreciated.
We thank everyone for participating and making the team a huge success!

in Iraq. The response was overwhelming, beyond our expectations and
we’re proud to announce that we were able to send THIRTY-SEVEN care packages
out for the holiday season!! Kudos to all of you in truly making
a difference in these soldiers’ lives!! We will be posting a thank
you on the team website listing those names of you that donated by either
sending items or pledging money for the shipping costs.
Our recent

of you who submitted some VERY creative entries. We are pleased to
announce that Cindy Brandon has won the contest!!
Thanks to everyone
who participated in the NST membership contest in exchange for a $5 donation
to St Jude's!! We will be drawing the four winners shortly and sending
out a message on the Yahoo board listing the newest members!

running a contest for recruiting new members!! The first person to
refer ten new members that join the NST will win a prize!! This contest

our local communities. Our goal is to introduce (or re-introduce in some
cases) new people to Matthew and Gunnar's wonderful music. We want to help
promote the guys in every positive way we can so that others can experience
their shows and hear their music - or even meet new friends who share in
