<strong>VENICE</strong>, <strong>ITALY</strong><br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Invites You To "Discover Venice!"<br />

Contest dates: July 27th - ___, 2011<br />

<strong>VENICE</strong>, <strong>ITALY</strong> Welcomes You… The minute you arrive in this<br />

mystical magical place, you will be transported back in time to an<br />

era of extreme opulence and luxury; to the days of palaces and<br />

cathedrals and magnificent masked balls hosted in the grand halls<br />

of majestic residences. Everywhere you look you will find elaborate<br />

décor gilded with gold and adorned with inspiring art. Venice is a<br />

fairytale land.<br />

One of the world's most beautiful and popular destinations, Venice<br />

was recently ranked in a USA Today article as the most romantic<br />

city in all of Europe. This place is simply stunning and completely unique. Founded more than 1,500<br />

years ago on 117 different islands, Venice is linked by a series of over 150 canals, 400 bridges and ancient<br />

paved streets and pathways. Chart your way through this historic city on foot, by water taxi, or by gondola.<br />

Traversing the waterways is a way of life here. Ribbons of seawater thread between ancient palazzos and<br />

weave through every neighborhood… and it’s all utterly magical and absolutely stunning.<br />

No trip to Venice is complete without a gondola ride (at least one!)<br />

Share a ride with fellow <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> travelers and be serenaded as<br />

you glide along the Grand Canal. You’ll be captivated by the vistas of<br />

Venice and the elegance of the magnificent palaces and cathedrals<br />

that line the sides of the Canal. Only from a gondola can you truly<br />

capture the romance and the magic of Venice.<br />

When you do step onto dry land, stroll the ancient cobblestoned<br />

streets, dive into local stores and galleries and explore the hidden<br />

gems that are tucked into every corner of this fascinating city. In<br />

addition to the endless enchanting alleyways and water canals, you’ll want to explore the sights and<br />

landmarks that define Venice. Visit Rialto Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Palazzo Ducale. You will<br />

stand in awe as the spectacle of Saint Marks Square opens up before you. A visit to Saint Mark’s Basilica<br />

will expose you to the ultimate expression of Venice’s greatness. Entirely covered by gilded mosaics that<br />

are among the most beautiful in the world, the Basilica envelopes the visitors in a unique spiritual and artistic<br />

atmosphere the likes of which are found nowhere else in the world.<br />

Another day, gather a few of your <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> friends and head out<br />

for a leisurely stroll along Mercerie Street, Venice’s famous shopping<br />

venue. Lined with fascinating shops selling sparkling, colorful<br />

Venetian glass and ornate masks, designer leather, clothing and<br />

much more; here is where you will find just the right souvenir to take<br />

home as a memento of your <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> vacation in Venice. This is a<br />

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Come with us and visit Venice. You<br />

must see it to believe it.<br />

DWTS<br />

Dancing with the Stars…. About the Show!<br />

If you have ever tuned into ABC’s primetime hit show, you know how fun, exciting and addictive it can be! For those of<br />

us in love with sparkle, Dancing with the Stars is a fashionista’s dream… It’s a ritzy, glitzy, sequin-studded glam-fest,<br />

set to music!<br />

The show pairs professional dancers with celebrities who volunteer to be taught how to dance. This turns out<br />

to be quite a challenge for the contestants who have no dance experience; but somehow, they all seem to rise<br />

to the occasion! The show sets up each performance by playing backstage video clips of the STAR and their<br />

respective Pro during their week of difficult, and sometimes torturous, practice time preparing for their primetime live<br />

performance. At show-time, ready or not, each STAR executes a choreographed routine with their pro partner in front<br />

of an enthusiastic audience as well as tens of millions of at-home viewers.<br />

DWTS fans tune in to watch the performances and, in an in an effort to fend off the inevitable weekly elimination, they<br />

text or call to cast their vote for their favorite STAR. Each Tuesday, the celeb with the least number of recorded votes<br />

is sent home. High glamour, high drama and highly entertaining… all the ingredients we LOVE! The objective is to<br />

cheer on and vote for your favorite STAR in hopes that they will avoid the weekly elimination and eventually elevate to<br />

first place and dance away with the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy!<br />

BREAKING NEWS… PARK LANE SPONSORS “DANCING with the STARS”!<br />

DWTS new fall season promises to deliver more passion and excitement than ever before, and we are thrilled to<br />

announce that <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> will be a sponsor and benefactor! In fact, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> will be gifting the entire cast of pro<br />

dancers and celebrity contestants with a wardrobe of some of our most beautiful jewelry! On Monday, September<br />

19th, Tara LeVin and Ryan Sudick, as representatives of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, will attend the Hollywood premiere. Shortly<br />

before the broadcast begins, they will meet the STARS and their dance partners and present them with some of our<br />

most dance-floor-worthy, camera-ready, bling-from-here-to-there jewelry ensembles! Tune in, or set your DVR!<br />

Then, on another episode this fall, Tara, accompanied by <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> CEO Scott LeVin, will AGAIN visit the DWTS<br />

studio, this time as members of the audience…. and it gets even better! YOU have a chance to go with them!<br />

Yes, YOU can accompany Scott and Tara and watch the DWTS performances, live, from the sponsor’s preferred<br />

seating!<br />

Here’s HOW you can earn this honor!<br />

“Dancing with the Stars” Challenge<br />

Business processed during the weeks that close on the commission dates of<br />

July 27th through August 31st, 2011<br />

The BEST just got BETTER!<br />

When it comes to jewelry, no one does it better than <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>! The incredible jewelry in<br />

our new Supplement catalog has it all… and then some! Your fall and holiday selling season<br />

just got an enormous boost. People will be clamoring for this collection… to buy it; to book<br />

contain your complete collection until the next new monthly edition slated for introduction in<br />

November. (For your convenience, July, August, September, and October editions are already<br />

included in the supplement catalog.) Foldover and postcard invitations feature jewelry in your<br />

new collection.<br />

The icing on the cake… <strong>Jewelry</strong> adds the finishing touch to an outfit. It’s like putting an<br />

exclamation point at the end of a sentence, the dessert after the meal, or the curtain call at<br />

the end of a play. <strong>Jewelry</strong> is the characterizing element that makes your outfit uniquely your<br />

own. <strong>Jewelry</strong> completes your look and defines your fashion personality. With the addition of<br />

so many extraordinary and diverse new <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> items, the variety of choices for “the icing<br />

on the cake” just got a whole lot sweeter!<br />

Your supplement catalogs and invitations are sure to be in demand. Order a sufficient quantity to service all your<br />

customers. Supplement catalog #2110 @ $0.75. Postcard Supply Item #990 $ 5.00/pkg. of 100<br />

The expansion of ensembles translates to AUTOMATIC SALES!<br />

Contact past customers who purchased, or hostesses who chose, any of the items<br />

below. Let them know that <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has launched a brand new supplement catalog<br />

and that a fabulous “match-mate” to their item has just been introduced! Explain that,<br />

because she is one of your “preferred customers”, you have reserved a new catalog<br />

for her. Offer to set up an appointment to drop it off and to bring your sample of the<br />

new item that complements the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> jewelry she already owns.<br />

Of course, you will go to the appointment with several rollers of brand new jewelry!<br />

When she sees the new collection live and in person, there is no way she will be<br />

able to resist dating a show. You can turn your visit into a hostess coaching session;<br />

possibly into a interview! At the very least the customer will order the item that<br />

matches theirs. Create a show of all the outside orders you gather and enjoy the<br />

instant progress on your trip qualifications!<br />

Here are the expanded ensembles...<br />

• Starry Nights ring to complete Starry Nights ensemble.<br />

• Lola necklace & earrings to complement Lola ring!<br />

• Fame bracelet to flatter Fame ring and necklace.<br />

• Danielle earrings look gorgeous with Danielle necklace<br />

(or any other silver necklace for that matter!)<br />

• OMG ring. Well, IT goes with ANYTHING!<br />

(And, of course, wear it with OMG ensemble!)<br />

These additions will translate into a BIG business booster!<br />

Create a CALL LIST and let your clients know that<br />

Venice - Fast Start Bonus Points for your Personal Sales<br />

July 27th through September 7th, 2011<br />

Submit personal net + non-commissionable sales of $1,000 or more during the above dates, and all the<br />

personal sales you submit during the Fast Start time frame will count DOUBLE toward trip points.<br />

For example, if you submit personal sales of $2,200 during the Fast Start dates, you will be credited for<br />

$4,400 points.<br />

Open “The Vault” and see why we are“proud as a peacock”!<br />

See it here. See it first.<br />

As a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> representative, each<br />

month YOU have the first look at what<br />

lies inside “The Vault”!<br />

<strong>Jewelry</strong> slated for release in The Vault is often an item<br />

that is so elaborate, so special that it cannot be massproduced...<br />

And, what could be more special than this<br />

bracelet? This masterpiece has been designed to match<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s new PEACOCK necklace, earring and ring<br />

ensemble. As the saying goes… “You complete me!”<br />

The hand-assembled bracelet is so elaborate, it cannot be made in large quantities; but we can make one for YOU!<br />

And, we can make one for customers who move quickly, and act before the supply has been depleted. Be among the<br />

first to open The Vault, and enjoy this month’s exclusive purchase!<br />

Item #11326 $125.00 Peacock bracelet measures 7 1/2 inches.<br />

<strong>Jewelry</strong> found in The Vault may be ordered the same way as any regular line merchandise and is fully<br />

commissionable. It may be purchased, chosen as a Bonus Item, selected with hostess or booking credit, etc.<br />

TARGET: $800 SHOW!<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> often offers a special item, usually the monthly Hostess Bonus Buy, as an extra reward to hostesses<br />

who have at least one booking and show net sales of $800 or higher. Here’s a fun and effective way to<br />

reinforce the goal with your hostess and help her to realize that $800 in show sales is within her reach!<br />

• Create a fill-in-the-blank sheet with 80 line spaces.<br />

• Make each space worth $10, and number* each space.<br />

• Choose one of the numbered* spaces as the winner and write the number in a corner on the sheet.<br />

Conceal it with a sticker.<br />

The objective is to have show guests and absentee order customers fill in their name randomly on $10<br />

numbered spaces equal to their net purchase until EIGHTY $10 spots are claimed. For example, a customer<br />

placing a $72 net order and purchasing two $12 Bonus Items would, based on the NET sales of their order, be<br />

entitled to sign their name on SEVEN $10 spaces.<br />

Announce to show guests that when the sheet is filled, the hostess will have reached her show sales goal of<br />

$800 and she will earn the monthly special for FREE. Tell them that you will also have a special gift for the<br />

customer who signed in on the pre-selected lucky number, (concealed by a sticker on the sheet)! The gift you<br />

award is at your discretion. You can access a generic $800 show sign-in sheet in Downloads on the website. You<br />

can customize it with pictures of the current hostess special offer.<br />

SALE EXTENDED!<br />

The Sizzling Summer Sale CONTINUES straight through the entire month of August!<br />

To launch your new line and kick off the Venice trip contest, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> will continue to offer customers the opportunity<br />

to qualify for a FREE BONUS ITEM starting with a mere $30.00 net order!<br />

• Ten orders generates $400 in credit. ($40 per order)<br />

• Twenty orders generates $800 in credit. ($40 per order) There’s no limit to the amount of credit a<br />

orders. Encourage your hostesses to work on absentee orders and they will reap the benefits! *For the purpose<br />

of calculating the number of orders to determine hostess credit, the purchase of service item(s) alone does not constitute a<br />

customer order, nor does the hostess purchase of half price items or “Hostess Only Collection” merchandise (Star 3 and 4 of the<br />

hostess plan). Home Office audits Ten & Double orders for authenticity.<br />

HERE WE GO… GET UP & GO is Extended!<br />

This month, hostesses who obtain three bookings have the option of selecting a Three<br />

Booking Gift of jewelry OR they can choose a FREE “Get Up & Go” getaway vacation as<br />

their reward!<br />

Get Up & Go is a travel voucher certificate, redeemable for a three-day, 2-night resort<br />

stay. The hostess has her choice of approximately 28 locations/resorts all over the country.<br />

Destinations include resorts in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Nashville, Myrtle Beach,<br />

Hawaii, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and more! Review the brochure with your<br />

hostess and help her choose WHERE she’ll “get up and go”!<br />

• Refer to the Get Up & Go brochure for full getaway details. It can be accessed online in Downloads/Forms.<br />

• The standard $20 Director fee to award a Three Booking Gift applies to the Get Up & Go option as well.<br />

• The hostess’ show must be processed on a commission date this month and the three qualified bookings<br />

must be held within 30 days. Apply for the travel voucher on a Booking Gift Claim form immediately after the<br />

three bookings have been held and qualified.<br />

A different kind of “Getaway”!<br />

Try this twist to introducing the “Get Up & Go” offer. Because the certificate is an award for obtaining three<br />

bookings, suggest to your hostess that she may want to promote <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s mini-vacation in a unique way.<br />

This approach will not only help her obtain three bookings, but will provide a fun adventure for her and her<br />

friends long after the party is over! Let her know it’s her call; she decides. With three bookings, she can<br />

take a jewelry prize OR the Get Up & Go certificate.<br />

This is where comprehensive hostess coaching really pays off. Not only are you helping her plan for a<br />

successful party, you are developing a relationship with her and a strategy to bring about optimum show<br />

results.<br />

Get up & Go on a “Girlfriend Getaway”!<br />

With your hostess’ approval, announce this…<br />

“Over and above all the rewards and free credit a hostess receives,<br />

she earns another special award when three of her friends book<br />

a show. Tonight, when three of YOU book a party, your hostess,<br />

__name__, will have her choice of a special ring, a sparkling watch,<br />

OR… even better… a 3-day, 2-night mini-vacation at one of over<br />

20 different resorts… Some destinations require a flight, but many<br />

resorts are within driving distance! In fact, ___ name ___ has already<br />

decided that when THREE of you, her friends, book a party, she is selecting<br />

the trip option! Even better, she is taking you THREE with her! Yes, it’s going<br />

to be a ‘Girlfriend Getaway’ road trip! ___ name ___ is thinking of selecting<br />

___city__ as the destination resort.<br />

So, if you are up for a fun road trip with the girls, pool, spa, shopping, sight-seeing, cocktails, girlfriend time<br />

and whatever… date your <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> show right now, help __ name___ earn her award, pack your bag, and<br />

let the partying begin!<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> “PEARL GIRLS” of Hawaii rise to the top!<br />

Senior Division Jana Champagne, writes periodic newsletters to her “Pearl Girls” team. One of the features of each publication is<br />

an article that spotlights a rising star in her group. The first “Pearl” to be featured was Division Manager, Julie Smith. Below you<br />

will find the fascinating and inspiring story as to how Julie came to be a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>r.<br />

ALL ABOUT JULIE….<br />

“My husband Tim and I just celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary! We are proud parents to two<br />

great kids: Eli (8) and Ella (6) and live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I currently work full-time as Co-Director<br />

of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries at University of Hawaii. I love paddling outrigger canoes, coffee,<br />

Chipotle, hanging out with my university students, empowering women, and encouraging people!<br />

OH, and if you want me to teach you to HULA... it would be an honor to do so!<br />

In April 2007, I gave direct sales a try with a different company and did very well. Now, 4 years later, I<br />

decided to make a change and join <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> (and still work full-time with University students).<br />

I LOVE that <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> honored my leadership experience and brought me straight over as a Division<br />

Manager. I’m lovin’ life at <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>.<br />

The “SIGN” … How Julie became a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>r!<br />

Julie writes, “There I was at 8:30 am in the morning, sitting at my kitchen table. I prayed, Lord, please give me a<br />

sign. I don’t know what to do." I am afraid to leave my current company and make the move to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. What if it<br />

doesn’t work? I’m excited and scared. Please give me a sign and tell me what to do.’"<br />

Eight hours later, I needed to buy shoes for my<br />

5-year-old daughter. We arrived at the shoe store,<br />

opened the door, and what greeted us? A huge,<br />

glorious SIGN that read, ‘IT’S TIME TO THINK<br />

JEWELS’. My mouth dropped open: I was in shock!<br />

A shoe store telling me to “Think JEWELS”... (by<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, that is!) Could ‘my sign’ be anymore<br />

CLEAR?<br />

I jumped aboard the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> train at the end of<br />

April! My husband kept reminding me that even at<br />

the entry level I would still be making more than at my<br />

current leadership position with the other company.<br />

Indeed I have. Within the first four weeks with <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong>, FIVE awesome gals have joined my team and<br />

I literally made more in that first month of May than<br />

I ever did in any one month at the other company. I<br />

Julie's "SIGN" earned Super Start level 2, Business Builders levels<br />

1, 2, 3, a Star Fleet Bonus, three 3-Booking gifts,<br />

$100 <strong>Jewelry</strong> Referral Reward for recruiting myself,<br />

the Costa Rica trip, Tropic Treasures necklace, and a bajillion dollars in free<br />

jewelry!<br />

I am so thankful to Jana and Vonda for thinking of me and sharing the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> experience. My husband is happy<br />

and thankful that <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> fits into our lifestyle and supplements our income. I am thrilled and honored to be a part of<br />

this wonderful company. Oh, and I love looking gorgeous in all my new jewelry!<br />

The two things I always tell myself and my team:<br />

1) It’s our job and our privilege to share the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> opportunity with everyone. It’s their right to choose.<br />

2) Never take a ‘no’ personally. Every ‘no’ points us to a ‘yes’!” Aloha, Julie

The Heart Award<br />

The <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> “HEART Award” is not earned by sales or recruiting accomplishments or group<br />

achievement; rather, it is a personal honor determined by the field of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> managers who<br />

nominate one of their peers. Division managers and above submit the name of the fellow leader<br />

they feel most represents the best qualities of a leader. For Fall 2011 Convention, the vote<br />

response was overwhelmingly in favor of this leader. The Heart Award recipient is Executive<br />

Company Vice President, Juanita Garcia.<br />

Since the very start of her career, Juanita has, and continues to be, a role model for all women who<br />

strive to achieve a better life for their families. She is kind and caring and quick to express her love<br />

for all <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> people. An outstanding leader who puts others first, she works tirelessly to help<br />

members of her organization realize their dreams. When it comes to selfless commitment, Juanita raises the bar. She<br />

is a jewel in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>.<br />

It is especially fitting that THIS convention’s HEART AWARD go to Juanita, not just because she is a deserving leader,<br />

but because she represents the blessed result of thousands and thousands of prayers from her <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> family and<br />

friends. We all prayed that Juanita would receive the heart transplant that she so desperately needed. A couple of<br />

months ago, our prayers were answered. Now, the woman voted as the leader with the biggest heart, has a brand<br />

new, bigger than ever heart with which to carry on her role as a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> leader extraordinaire! All of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

absolutely LOVES you, Juanita… Just listen to your HEART, and it will remind you of that each and every day!<br />

EXECUTIVE PROMOTION<br />

We at <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> are thrilled to announce that Rosalinda (Rosie) Zrinsky has fully qualified<br />

for promotion to the level of Senior Division manager. Rosie’s devotion to her team and<br />

to seeing that each of the people in her group experience success is, in part, what helped<br />

Rosie advance up the management ladder. She brings joy and passion to her work and<br />

inspiration to her team.<br />

ROSALINDA ZRINSKY<br />

Senior Division<br />

Company Vice-President Julyn Panicola says, “Rosie is a caring, passionate Leader and<br />

a woman of great integrity. She has embraced <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s direction from day one and<br />

teaches her team by example. She has a passion for helping others achieve their goals<br />

and urges them to reach even greater heights. Rosie reached her promotion goal by totally<br />

focusing on her team and encouraging their development and promotions.”<br />

We asked Rosie to share her feelings about her adventure in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. Here is her story.<br />

I believe there is a time for every one…<br />

"I started my <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business at the end of October 2010. I was interviewed in September by Julyn Panicola and<br />

Wanda Valentin, just days before they left on their trip to Aruba. I listened as they talked about the company and as<br />

they reviewed everything <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> had to offer, and I thought to myself, ‘This is just too good to be true’. I have<br />

been in sales for over 17 years and many other companies have approached me, but I had never heard of a company<br />

where you could start a business without investing, and (best of all) without stocking an inventory. I just could not<br />

believe it.<br />

After the interview, I asked Julyn to let me read through all the information and brochures. I just knew I had to go<br />

through everything and find ‘the catch’. They were leaving to their trip to Aruba that week so I knew I was going to<br />

have enough time to read it all, and I did. Well, to my surprise, there was no ‘catch’. <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> truly is a company that<br />

recognizes you for your accomplishments. You are rewarded for so many things and the gifts and prizes are endless;<br />

you just have to do the work and follow the programs and the rewards keep coming. In <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> we have the best<br />

hostess program in the business and our warranty for the jewelry is incredible. No wonder Julyn always says, “If it<br />

sounds too good to be true, it has to be <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>”. After they came back from their trip, Wanda gave me a call and<br />

asked if I was ready to get started. At that moment, I believed the moment was right; it was my time to start my<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business. I just knew this was the perfect opportunity for me; how could I say no? There was nothing to<br />

lose.<br />

I love working with people and giving them positive advice. I love teaching them the business and helping them<br />

to believe that they can achieve whatever they desire. I tell my team that the key to success is to love what<br />

you do and believe in yourself. I have, and continue to, work my business following the 5 and 1 plan, qualifying<br />

for Super Start awards and Success Builders each month, just as I was taught to do from the very beginning.<br />

I attended the Convention in Las Vegas this past February where I was inspired by all the speakers. I learned so<br />

much from them. I came back from Convention prepared to work, and as a result, our team kept growing month after<br />

month. Most of my Fashion Directors have been promoted, and two have earned their trips to Costa Rica. I just know<br />

this is just the beginning of all the great things yet to come. I have been blessed with an awesome team; I love and<br />

respect each and every one of them. I am so proud to be a part of the Julyn Panicola Organization and grateful to<br />

have Wanda Valentin as my Sr. Division. Thank you for sharing the opportunity with me. I am blessed to have three<br />

wonderful children; Natalie, Cody and Haylie. They are the reason I never give up. And, my wonderful husband Bill,<br />

who has always been understanding and supportive of me and my business; I could not ask for more. Together, we<br />

will celebrate my promotion in grand style, while vacationing in Costa Rica on my first <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> trip! Yes, I believe<br />

there is a time for everyone."<br />

A Life-Changing Decision…<br />

“I have a few true passions in life; my amazing husband, my beautiful daughters, my Savior, and <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. I am<br />

passionate about <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> because it has given me the freedom to enjoy my other passions! Having grown up in an<br />

environment of poverty and debt, I was not even aware that there was a different kind of lifestyle out there, but when I<br />

was introduced to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, I knew that a better life was possible.<br />

Living debt-free became a goal for our family. I remember watching Shirley LeVin on the Convention screen, filmed<br />

standing at a podium, telling the women in her audience that she wanted to help them get to a point that they would<br />

not need to worry about balancing their checkbook. That was so powerful to me! That was a place I was determined<br />

to be!<br />

Choosing to make <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> a part of my life was like choosing to be married. I did it for better or worse. And, that<br />

is the best thing I could have done! Anytime we have encountered difficulty or hardship, whether I was struggling<br />

through a life threatening pregnancy, or running my business from the ICU waiting room for weeks when my husband<br />

suffered internal bleeding, staying committed to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> helped bring us through and come out for the better. The<br />

income and support have helped and my confidence is stronger as I see that each time I refuse to move <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> to<br />

the back burner, it pays off!<br />

I am so grateful to be part of a family-run company, and a business in which<br />

my own family can participate. It brings such joy to my little girls to come to<br />

each Convention, walk across the stage with me and receive prizes and a<br />

hug! My 4-year-old loves to ‘take orders’; and she cheerfully tells my team<br />

members, ‘Keep in touch ‘OF’ my mother!’ Being able to take my family of<br />

four on free vacations to places like Aruba, Dublin, Costa Rica is a dreamcome-true,<br />

and being able to live a debt-free lifestyle is a now a reality<br />

thanks to my <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business!<br />

I have a great love and admiration for the LeVin Family and for Shirley… a<br />

woman whose strength and persistence inspired her to build a company that<br />

would empower other women to fulfill their own dreams. I am so blessed to have my amazing “Bling Team” who strive<br />

consistently to achieve their goals. I am fortunate to be their leader and to learn from them every day! They are a big<br />

part of the reason I am where I am and I love each of them! I have an amazing SVP in Maureen Faulkner who offers<br />

me her support & expertise! And my sweet husband is my biggest supporter as he interests people in booking shows<br />

and joining <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, all by himself!<br />

I am honored to receive the title of Senior Division Manager and I’m especially excited and grateful that my team and<br />

I have earned it! I am looking forward to continuing to grow and build with my awesome team and to providing an<br />

incredible future for my family; all due to the extraordinary opportunity offered by <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>!”<br />

MARIA MENDOZA<br />

Senior Division<br />

EXECUTIVE PROMOTION<br />

This vivacious achiever from Odessa, Texas, has three children, one granddaughter and<br />

a large <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> team… all of which adore her! Without missing a beat, Maria Mendoza<br />

has soared in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> since the day she started. She has won contests, taken awards,<br />

and advanced from one level to the next… and she makes it look effortless. We are<br />

delighted to officially announce that Maria has qualified for promotion to the level of Senior<br />

Division Manager.<br />

It was love at first sight!<br />

“I was introduced to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> in October of 2009, when my sister, Mercedes Morales,<br />

invited me to a show. Trisha Carrasco was the “<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> lady”, as we called her. When<br />

I saw the jewelry for the first time, I instantly fell in love with it! It was beautiful and the<br />

specials were wonderful! I ordered the $90.00 special to take advantage of the bonus<br />

items. I was fascinated by all that I got for the price! Then, my sister joined the company<br />

and I booked her very first show. My show was over $1,000 and my gifts and awards?<br />

OMG! They were awesome! I was so excited to choose the jewelry I earned, that I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. trying to<br />

decide! (Of course, my husband thought I was crazy!) Both Trisha and my sister asked me to join <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>; but I<br />

refused because I already had a job with the School District. Looking back, I guess I just wasn’t ready.<br />

I booked three more shows after the first one; very successful shows, by the way. Once again my sister asked me to<br />

join <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. I promised her that I would do it, but only if and when she needed a recruit to earn a promotion or to<br />

win a trip. Then, in May 2010, my sister was working for two trips to Aruba; one for her and one to give to her son as<br />

a graduation present. That is when I finally said ‘YES’ to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and began my business in June. I held my first<br />

show and I recruited my daughter. On my second show I recruited two more people; so in a matter of six weeks I had<br />

my four recruits, promoted to Branch, and earned my trip to Aruba on the Second Chance offer. I was very happy and<br />

looking forward to attending the Convention in July. I registered and paid my fee and booked my flight, but then I had<br />

to cancel because my son was called for a Christian retreat that weekend, and I stayed to support him. But I continued<br />

to work… the jewels were selling like ‘homemade bread’.<br />

In the next six months, I promoted to Area then to Division. Now it was time for the Las Vegas Convention. I<br />

registered and used the airline refund from the last convention cancellation to pay for this ticket, but something<br />

happened; a mistake in the booking and, once again, I didn’t make it to Convention… I had, however already earned<br />

three trips to Ireland by this time. A few months after that Convention, in April 2011, I earned three trips to Costa<br />

Rica and qualified for promotion to Sr. Division! Everything happened so quickly that I don’t even know how I did it.<br />

Scott Levin came to our meeting in Odessa and recognized my promotion; it was such an honor and a very special<br />

experience for everyone on our team. The biggest blessing to come from all this is that, because of the income I<br />

was earning in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, I was able to leave my job with the school district and devote more time to my <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

career.<br />

People ask me for ideas and tips. I answer that I believe it’s my enthusiasm and my commitment to my customers,<br />

always wearing the jewelry, and bragging about <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s opportunity; the trips, the gifts, the money, and more.<br />

And, of course, always being myself. Hopefully, this time I will finally make it to July’s Convention in Chicago. Thank<br />

you to my wonderful team. Thank you to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and Scott Levin for acknowledging my work. And, I really want to<br />

thank my family for being very supportive; I love you! God Bless all of us, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> people.”<br />

Sales Vice President Tricia Carrasco says, “What a blessing Maria has been to our organization! She joined the<br />

company to help her sister earn a trip to Aruba never realizing that, in less than 6 weeks, she would earn the trip<br />

as well! That achievement was only the beginning for Maria; the list of her accomplishments keeps growing! Her<br />

determination and commitment to build her business grows stronger every day. Her personal sales are worth cheering<br />

for and her smile and attitude can light up anyone’s day! Congratulations, Maria on a well-deserved promotion!”<br />

CYNTHIA RAMOS<br />

Senior Division<br />

EXECUTIVE PROMOTION<br />

There is no stopping this single mom of three who works a full-time job as an<br />

elementary school counselor plus runs a super-successful <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business.<br />

Cynthia Ramos’ work ethic is exemplary and her energy level knows no bounds!<br />

We are so proud to announce that she has now qualified to advance to Senior<br />

Division manager. <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> congratulates Cynthia on her promotion and wishes<br />

her continued success!<br />

Sales Vice-President Tricia Carrasco shares her thoughts… “As soon as I met<br />

Cynthia, I just knew that she would be a super star! It’s been an honor to have<br />

had the opportunity to work with her and to see her promote up <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> TWICE<br />

within two years! We have partied together in Paris, Aruba & soon we’re heading to<br />

Costa Rica! I would love to see my newly-promoted Sr. Division grow her lineage<br />

to a Million Dollar team; and she has the God-given talent to do it! Cynthia is a<br />

loving mother and works super hard to give her kids what they need. She realizes what it takes to grow her<br />

business and I admire her for overcoming every challenge life throws at her and for continuing to stand tall<br />

and deliver! Congratulations Cynthia!”<br />

Super-Mom and Super Star!<br />

"I was introduced to the direct selling industry 10 years ago and haven’t<br />

looked back since! Being a single mom of three, I have always needed<br />

a SECOND pocket and direct sales has helped me out of so many binds,<br />

as well as provided us with the “extras” in life! I am blessed to be able<br />

to provide for my Erika, Roy Zachary and Jonathan as a single mom,<br />

experience personal growth and earn a great second income! I get to have<br />

it all by coordinating fashion shows for my hostess’ and customers and by<br />

attracting other people to our awesome opportunity. I love helping people<br />

grow their own business by becoming a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Fashion Director.<br />

Meeting new people keeps me excited! Earning new pieces of jewelry to add to our GREAT line every<br />

month keeps me motivated! Providing for my family keeps me inspired.<br />

This September will be my 2nd anniversary with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. I will be forever grateful to my up line leader<br />

who didn’t give up on me when I told her ‘No, I am happy where I am.’ I had previously sold for another<br />

<strong>Jewelry</strong> Direct Sales company and while it provided that “extra” pocket for me and my kids, it definitely<br />

wasn’t in the same league as <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>! I love earning our jewelry, car allowances, designer outfits,<br />

exotic trips AND making money! And the best part is that I didn’t have to invest in the company… <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong> invested in me! All I had was a small $5 startup fee. I earned the kit and the chance to earn up to<br />

$400 in jewelry samples for the first six months of my business! I want to say a big thank you to my upline<br />

organization because you all have had something to do with where I am now… So, thank you to Tricia<br />

Carrasco, Jennifer Spera, Terri Sawyer and Dawnette Dobrick! I also thank the amazing team of ladies that I<br />

have the pleasure to work with. You girls ROCK! I am so proud of all of YOU!<br />

I am so blessed and thankful to be a part of such an amazing company where I can match my love of<br />

fashion with my passion for this incredible direct sales business opportunity. When I started with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

back in September of 2009, I was able to earn my first <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> incentive trip in just 7 short weeks of<br />

joining the company. Going to Paris was the trip of a lifetime! What an experience, especially for me as a<br />

single mom! I also earned 2 trips to Aruba and most recently earned 2 trips to Costa Rica! Thank you God<br />

for the LeVin family and what they have provided for all of US! As I like to say, “If it’s too good to be true...,<br />

it MUST be <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>!”<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> is delighted and proud to announce the promotion of Mercedes Morales<br />

Mercedes has been a talented, consistent performer and a high achiever. She<br />

exudes commitment and devotion and she leads by example.<br />

Mercedes morales<br />

Senior Division<br />

A <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> STAR...<br />

Mercedes manager, Sales Vice-President Tricia Carrasco, puts it perfectly…<br />

“Mercedes is a Rock Star in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>! When I met her I just knew that this<br />

beautiful, outgoing, loving, lady would be fabulous in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and a perfect fit on<br />

my team! She immediately began climbing the charts with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, advancing<br />

level after level. Her passion for her <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business and her team is incredible and she loves to<br />

share the opportunity with everyone with whom she comes in contact! It has been a blessing to have had<br />

the opportunity to work with and develop a strong friendship with Mercedes. I am so happy to see her to<br />

achieve this promotion!”<br />

We asked Mercedes to share a little about her start in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, and how she feels about what she<br />

has experienced thus far. Here, she shares her thoughts….<br />

“My name is Mercedes Morales, and I am a Senior Division Leader. I come from a Hispanic family; I was<br />

born and raised in Mexico. My husband and I arrived in the United States in the year of 1985 without<br />

knowing a single word of English, but filled with the desire to learn every bit of the language. I set my mind<br />

to it and I accomplished my goal by learning enough English to get me by. The years past, and we had three<br />

wonderful children, Neftaly, Manny and Lukas.<br />

I always wanted to take part in helping my husband with family expenses, but I couldn’t seem to find a job<br />

where I didn’t have to be away from my children for long periods of time. Then, one day in October of 2009,<br />

I ran into a friend and she was wearing the Amaretto set. I instantly fell in love with it! I was fascinated with<br />

the jewelry and wanted to know more about how I could earn every bit of it. As <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s program was<br />

revealed to me, I automatically knew it was the perfect job for me!<br />

It has now been one year and eight months since I began my <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business. As a result of my <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong> income, I have been able to help my husband with family expenses such as paying for our daughter’s<br />

college. Through <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> contests, our family has had the opportunity to enjoy wonderful vacations in<br />

exciting places; Aruba, Ireland, and now, Costa Rica! I truly believe that with God, a positive attitude, and<br />

my dedication to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, all things are possible!”<br />

our best wishes for continued success to Valorie and her organization.<br />

You had me at “Hello”!<br />

Like in the movie Jerry McGuire, when Renee Zellweger says, “You had me at hello.” …that is exactly how I felt when<br />

I first met <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> three wonderful years ago!<br />

I was with another direct sales company that was in flux for many years. Then, when someone recommended me to<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and I listened to all the great things about this opportunity...well, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> had me at hello! I have never<br />

looked back!<br />

These past three years with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> have been an AMAZING journey filled with many, many blessings! Starting<br />

out, I filled my calendar with as many bookings as I could and I looked for those special people that would join me<br />

on my team and build a successful business of their own. I have worked with so many wonderful women and men in<br />

the past three years and I would like to say to all of them, ‘You don’t become successful all by yourself.’ I realize how<br />

connected we all are and how very important relationships are in building a successful <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business. From the<br />

home office staff to the newest Fashion Director, we all play a role in each other’s success.<br />

The rewards with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> are over the top and I have a closet full of designer outfits and many trips under my belt<br />

to prove it… not to mention the most gorgeous jewelry any woman would love to have. The trip to Paris and to Dublin<br />

were each a lifelong dream-come-true; and, best of all, I was able to share the experience with my two daughters.<br />

They will also be traveling with me in September on yet another dream-come-true vacation… Costa Rica!<br />

My husband and two daughters are my biggest supporters. I am so grateful to be able to help my family as well as<br />

other families with the financial rewards from <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. Giving and receiving is really one big circle, so when I receive<br />

from <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>... I like to give back.<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> had me at ‘Hello’ ....I have found a home here. It is wonderful to have a career that excites me. When I<br />

wake up each day I jump out of bed and start my day with a vision of many good things to come! My passion is to<br />

help others be successful in this business; and with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> as our foundation, the sky’s the limit!<br />

Tricia Carrasco joined our <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> family in October of 2008, a young, single<br />

mom who was struggling to support her five children while battling her own seriously<br />

debilitating illness. In spite of every challenge, every health setback she faced,<br />

she prevailed. She overcame one obstacle after another to move forward and<br />

build a successful and dynamic <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business. Her work ethic is impeccable;<br />

her leadership, undeniable. When it comes to achieving goals, Tricia’s talent and<br />

tenacity raise the bar. We are thrilled to officially promote Tricia Carrasco to the<br />

A life forever changed.<br />

My name is Tricia Carrasco, and as many of you already know me and my story, I<br />

would just like to say thank you to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, to my entire team and to my friends!<br />

And, a special note of love and appreciation to my boyfriend, Gabriel, who, along with my children, has been<br />

my Number 1 supporter and fan. It’s not always easy for me to work when I’m feeling sick, but Gabriel is<br />

always positive, supportive, and helpful and he motivates me by reminding me why I joined <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> to<br />

begin with… To better myself and to be able to provide for my family.<br />

I have now been with <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> over two years and what a wonderful journey I have had! As the mother of<br />

five, with the Lord as my leader and my boyfriend & partner Gabriel by my side, my dream to represent our<br />

team as a Sales Vice President has come true. I have walked through my journey with great honor, being<br />

able to help others accomplish their dreams! I am so delighted to be able to share the many Blessings <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong> offers with my team and watch so many people in my organization promote to higher positions.<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has forever changed my life! Thanks to my <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

income, our family has been blessed with many opportunities.<br />

My daughter Lauren was able to attend private school and, I am<br />

proud to say, that my oldest son Spencer will begin attending the<br />

University of Texas Tech this August. The flexibility of my <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong> career has allowed me to have the time that I need to spend<br />

with my kids and travel the world with my older two boys, Spencer<br />

& Mason. I’ve won a total of 19 trips to destinations like: Greece,<br />

Cabo San Lucas, Paris, Aruba, Ireland, Costa Rica… even a trip<br />

to Beverly Hills! Many doors have been opened and many lives<br />

have been changed, all because of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>!<br />

One of the biggest ‘trips’ I made was moving my family from Odessa to San Antonio and beginning to build<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> in another new city. Starting out from the midsize town of Odessa to becoming a big city girl<br />

in San Antonio, I would like to say ‘Thank You’ to all my friends & family in both cities and everywhere in<br />

between for believing in me! I love you and appreciate you. I want to thank my upline leaders, Terri Sawyer<br />

& Dawnette Dobrick for supporting me from the beginning & never giving up on me! And a special thank you<br />

to my mentor, Shannon Pell, who helped me stay focused and came up with a plan that worked! All three<br />

ladies have been inspired and motivated me and I am blessed to call them my friends!<br />

Look up the word “enthusiasm” in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of Terri Sawyer.<br />

This bubbly and fun <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Star is a dynamo; a real people-person. But she’s more<br />

than that. She is a superb leader; someone that others want to follow. Terri came to <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lane</strong> with years of party plan experience and found a new home and family here. Her zest<br />

for life, coupled with her love of people and devotion to her team have catapulted her to<br />

the top. We are happy to officially announce the promotion of Terri Sawyer to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

Company Vice-President! This is Terri’s story as she tells it in her unique own style….<br />

Texas STAR shines!<br />

“Thank you, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, for not giving up on me! You see, Kathy Cassidy (<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong><br />

National Director) called me and continued to follow up on me for 9 straight months. I was<br />

not the least bit interested in what she had to say about <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, but I thought she was<br />

very pleasant. Maybe it was all those nice complimentary things she had to say about me,<br />

to me, that made me leave the door open for her to keep calling back. Call #9 was the<br />

magic call. I told Kathy, ‘OK’. I would agree to meet with someone as long as they came to Dallas. (There was no<br />

way this Texas gal was going to Chicago which, at the time, had a wind chill factor of four degrees below! Really!)<br />

Well, a few days later Scott LeVin flew to Dallas (I’m pretty sure he needed to thaw out!) and we spent 6 or 7 hours<br />

together. I always tell people that I was done in the first 15 minutes, but I was playing hard-to-get. Truth is, Scott just<br />

humored me for a few hours all the time realizing I was going to be his new Sales VP. Scott, thank you so much for<br />

coming to Dallas that day. Joining <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has been the best business decision my husband and I have ever made<br />

and I am a better person because of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>.<br />

Now, with that being said, I was not easy to teach. I came with 12 years of baggage from 2 other companies that<br />

left me a little skeptical and somewhat distrustful. Although I quickly earned my first trip, (the first of the FOURTEEN<br />

trips I’ve earned in the last 3 years!) it took me over a year to learn to embrace all of the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> ways. At first, I<br />

hated the flip chart until I realized that it is what made me duplicable. Then I fell in love with the flip chart! And that<br />

was followed by finally seizing the roll- out method of presenting the jewelry and weekly meetings, and eventually, I<br />

embraced the 5&1 program which has catapulted our team in the past year. If you want to know what the secret to<br />

being successful in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> is, it’s doing and teaching the 5&1 plan.<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> is perfect for me because I believe that I am here on this earth to help others and to serve in any way that I<br />

can. To me, being a leader is all about serving others and <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> just solidifies that. I have the best job ever and<br />

not only is my life being transformed but I am also getting to help mentor and transform the lives of others. I can see<br />

the financial impact, the personal growth and the blessings that <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> is making possible for so many people.<br />

One of my long time dreams was to have my husband, Rene, retire from the car business. This past December, he<br />

was able to do just that and he is not planning to return. I am loving the fact that we are working together growing our<br />

<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> business. I love you Baby, and thank you for all that you do! I want to also thank all of my mentors who<br />

have helped me become a better person. To my upline leader, Company Vice-President Dawnette Dobrick, who has<br />

consistently been supportive, I hope to do you proud. We have an amazing group of ladies at every level and I want<br />

to thank each of them. I want them to know that if it weren’t for them I would not be writing this testimonial. I love and<br />

care for each of you and if I could I would list every one of you by name and thank all of you for your efforts in helping<br />

us reach this hairy scary goal of mine. Company Vice President. Really? It is mind-boggling to me that I am getting<br />

paid what I am getting paid for doing what I love! Thank you <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and it is with great excitement and honor that I<br />

accept the position of Company Vice-President.”<br />

Company Vice-President, Dawnette Dobrick shared her thoughts about her friend and colleague. “I love working with<br />

Terri. She’s a great leader with a big heart! Over the past three years, I have watched her grow in Grace, Wisdom<br />

& Strength. She strives to help others achieve their dreams and goals. When Terri makes a decision to make<br />

something happen, the world better just STEP ASIDE, because she doesn’t take NO for an answer! She will be a<br />

GREAT Company VP!<br />
