TranscriptionConnections network Breast Cancer Awareness Promotion

If you've read my blogs, you know that last year I was treated for breast cancer. I was careless - I sporadically did self exams and didn't get screening mammograms.

Don't be like me!

I will be promoting breast cancer awareness through the TranscriptionConnections.com network of sites during the month of October. We'll be giving away lots of goodies and hopefully inspiring women to do their monthly self exams and annual mammograms.

Drawing Guidelines

Your name will be entered in the drawing:

If you are registered here at MT Exchange and have signed in during the month of October.

If you are registered at MT Registry [5].

If you have an active resume in the MT Registry [6] system.

If you are registered at MT Reference [7]

If you are registered at MT Reference Style Guide for Medical Transcription [8]

If you subscribe to one or more of the Transcription Connections newsletters [9]

Refer a friend to MT Registry [10]: (a) They must register and (b) they must put your name or e-mail address in the "referred by" when they sign up.

Each of these instances is a qualifying entry. Your name is entered once for each of these qualifying entries, so you can be entered multiple times.

Your name will not be removed from the drawing for the next week's drawing, so you can potentially win multiple times.

U.S. and Canada MTs only. Unfortunately, due to mailing costs, overseas transcriptionists will not be included in the drawings.

Please make sure your e-mail address is accurate at all sites where you are registered. We need to be able to get hold of you to get a mailing address if you win.
