With our Each One Reach One campaign, there’s a great response as wonderful supporters like you take action! Thank you for supporting girls by spreading the word and ensuring the financial stability for member-supported NMG to continue into the future.

Great questions and suggestions have come in from both members and adult fans.  We want to hear all your ideas for the future of NMG and what you would like it to be. As a start, you’re invited to a special free video conference with me, NMG’s founder. I and other staff can’t wait to listen to your ideas and answer your questions.

Here is a question and a suggestion that came in just this week:

Question: Why do you have a Facebook Page?

We don’t encourage girls in our age group to be part of social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Girls’ safety is our top online priority, and NMG can’t guarantee their security in unmoderated social networks. That’s why we have NewMoon.com – fully moderated by specially trained adult volunteers.

Public social networks are how we connect with parents, other adult advocates of girls like teachers & youth workers, and other like-minded organizations. This way we build an adult community that works together to empower girls globally. We send the adult readers of our enews to our Facebook page, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest, so they can be active and informed in everything we are working on for girls.

But we never direct our girl members to these unmoderated social networks. The enews that goes to girls is different and excludes any mention of or links to our social networks.

Suggestion: Share with your pediatrician/family doc/dentist

Many parents, grandparents, and girls have been telling us how they’re spreading the word about New Moon Girls.

One mom, Sonia, said she and her daughter brought a copy of NMG magazine with them to an appointment with the pediatrician. The pediatrician liked it so much, she ordered TWO memberships – one for each waiting area! Sonia suggested that we share this idea with other parents and adults so you can do the same, saying that if your daughters’ doctors decide to order a membership, other girls and their parents who read it might want to get memberships, too! Thanks Sonia  & for your amazing effort to get more memberships for New Moon Girls, and for sharing your idea with us!

Tell us your ideas about the future of NMG and questions at our free video conference next week with NMG founder, Nancy Gruver! Anyone with internet access can come and be a part of this discussion.

Momentum is growing! There are only 2 weeks left in our Each One Reach One campaign! What you and all our supporters do from now till Aug 31 is so important for the future of NMG. We need your help more than ever to reach out to at least one person and share the value of NMG.

With the support of all our members and the adults who care about them, we know we can do it!

So why do we need your help now? We’re true member-supported media – we don’t run any ads in our magazine or online! Since the recession, we haven’t gotten the number of members we need to keep our community financially healthy. We’re very thrifty but it still takes plenty of money, expertise and time to make the magazine & social network high-quality and get them to girls.

We’re proud to be a sustainable business – no huge salaries or wasteful expenses here. It takes only 30 new or renewed members per day (on average) to cover all the costs and sustain NMG financially. And now we have even more membership options to offer, including our new e-magazine! A full membership costs less than 15 cents per day! Is it worth that to you?

You don’t have to make a big gesture to help New Moon Girls. Every action helps! Here are some simple ways you can sustain NMG.

• Each One Reach One: Get ONE friend to join or give ONE gift/renewal of membership before August 31.

We appreciate your love and support so much. Thanks to everyone who’s already helped the Each One Reach One campaign! We’re doing everything we can to keep NMG alive and there for you and girls all over the world for as long as we can. Thank you for your help!

Love,

Nancy Gruver, NMG Founder
