I.                    Russel R. Reichman presentation (RRR)

a.       Proposed two ideas:

                                                              i.      Lead Source: setting up a page to generate leads for home improvements……No cost to SRF, SRF is paid on a per lead basis i.e. &40-$50/lead – 20% goes to RRR

                                                            ii.      Custom Value Cards: sell a card that has a free service and an ongoing discount i.e. free car wash and $2 off any future car washes, expires July ’09…..SRF has to pay for printing ($.40/card for 1,000 cards) sell for cost of one car wash and 20% goes to RRR
