December 2010

Happy winter 2010 NST Members!

As we enter the last month of the year, it is a great time to look ahead to all the great things to come in 2011 and thank each of you for your dedication this past year and all the wonderful things we accomplished as a team!!

We have had two major updates in the last few weeks.

First, we have a NEW e-mail address for all NST related mail, questions and points. Please add: NSTfanclub@yahoo.com to your address book. All updates, mailings, newsletters, etc will come from this e-mail address from hereon.

*Please BCC: all e-mails for points to us at the new address. All previous e-mail addresses have been terminated and we will not be able to access any mail you send to them.

Second, we updated our points outline. NST members are now arranged into regions for promoting purposes. We will also be assigning & completing ‘missions’ in the regions throughout the year, this will give you extra ways to earn points and rewards!

Even though members are assigned to regions, we are still ONE united team.

Please review the different ways to earn points: NST Member Points

NST Member Regions are available at the NST Files

If you do not see your name listed please drop us a line that you would like to be added to the online member directory. Thanks!

“Missions” have already been sent out to members last week. Be sure to take part in the promoting fun!

We thank ALL of you who answered the call to e-mail lists that were divided and sent out. Together you’ve made a promotional difference!! This is what we are all about team!

To everyone attending the shows in California have a ROCKIN’ time!!!

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.
