We are delighted to still have the ability to share a sample of this wonderful resource with you for free…but one person will WIN the entire print version of this book simply by entering this Sweepstake! – http://woobox.com/fg98my
Time runs out as 2012 comes to a close so you will want to hurry. Getting this great handbook will help you start off the new year more prepared than before!
We hope you had a wonderful Holiday.
It’s hard to believe that we are about to enter the final month of 2012. As we are quickly moving toward a New Year we wanted to share some special updates for PREPARE Magazine – and also give you a status report on our anticipated hard-copy release. There is a special announcement that will specifically benefit you – so be sure to read all the way through this email.
In this email, we share important information on:
… Next Issue Release
… Updates to your Subscription
… Campaign for our Official Launch (Hard-Copy Release)
It has been a very busy (and exciting) time for us and we want to share some of the things that have been happening. We have been slightly overwhelmed with a steady flow of changes and preparations for our hard-copy publication. We continue to work-out the bugs. Please accept our apology as we have been remiss in keeping you fully updated on everything – as we have been inundated with new challenges that we were not anticipating.
But… we forge ahead because we STRONGLY believe in the mission and purpose of PREPARE Magazine. We are encouraged by the support we have received from our subscribers and advertisers and are determined to make this magazine a world-class publication. We hope you find value in our magazine and will help support us as we continue to build a stronger foundation to build on.

OUR NEXT ISSUE (Released Soon!)
|
In January, 2013, we are planning to Officially launch PREPARE Magazine, and release the hard-copy version of the magazine. We’ve had quite a few requests for a print version, and we are looking forward to releasing it with our launch. It has been quite an undertaking but we believe it will be well worth the effort.
We will give more details as we move closer to the launch, but here is a general description:
The hard-copy version will be a bi-monthly full-color publication that will be available by subscription (delivered by USPS). The print publication will be a little larger than the monthly digital version (likely around 44 pages) and will contain unique articles and features.

CAMPAIGN for our OFFICIAL LAUNCH!
|
We started PREPARE Magazine because of the importance we place on the mission during the times we are living. We firmly believe there is a very special need for the encouragement and training we intend to offer through PREPARE Magazine. We are determined to keep it going.We’ve been asked many times “why” we are giving away a free subscription to Founding members?. The truth is, we wanted to offer the free subscription to help as many people as possible prepare for the days ahead. We wanted to serve anyone who had the interest in preparedness, and offer a message of encouragement during difficult times. Many years ago we felt “called” to prepare, and that call included helping others.
But… because of the costs associated with the thousands who have subscribed, and the expenses we will have with launching the print version, we have launched a fund-raising campaign to help raise needed funds toward the launch of PREPARE Magazine.
We intend for PREPARE Magazine to be a long-term relevant voice in the Preparedness Community. To make that happen and to create a world-class publication, we need to raise funds. To encourage people to join with us, we are giving away some really cool and valuable rewards. Of course, we would love to have your help. Please visit our campaign site and consider helping us if you are able. We will be extremely grateful for any help you can offer.

PS. In case you missed it, here is the link for the most recent released digital issue in our new viewer format: http://www.preparemag.com/prepareSEPT/
To those who are Founding Subscribers, we want to first give a heart felt ‘THANK YOU’ for getting on board with your complimentary subscription while we are in our pre-launch phase! While this does take you on the journey of bugs and bumps it also brings you along with us as we improve!
We have a new viewing format that we would like for you to take for a spin and give us your feedback in a comment to this blog post. Here’s a list of some of the things that are now available by using this new viewing format:

First and foremost we want to familiarize you with the new format in this short video tutorial to help you get the most out of the new features, but please continue below this video:
So now here is the link to test out the potentially new viewing format of the September issue of PREPARE Magazine – CLICK -> September Test Issue. Please …go take it for a test drive of your own and please, leave us a comment on this blog to let us know what you think!
You may already get the complimentary digital issue of PREPARE Magazine once a Month, and for that we are very grateful. But we don’t want to stop there when it comes to encouraging you, serving your needs and helping build your support system for your Preparedness Journey. We want to be there for you more than just once a month.
That is why there are so many new things on the horizon! Look for some of these upcoming ways to connect, learn and enhance your skill set:[wpgfxm_headlines font=”Arial” size=”12px” color=”#3881FF” shadow=”none” decor=”none” style=”normal” weight=”normal” align=”left” spacing=”1px” lineheight=”120%”]
[/wpgfxm_headlines]
This and more for everyone – but EVEN MORE for Founding Subscribers (that would be you now if you’re getting the complimentary monthly Issue)…but soon, that window to be a Founding Subscriber will shut once we officially launch! So hurry and spread the word to everyone you believe to be interested. Hey, it costs them nothing – so feel FREE to SHARE!
Also please remember that we do CURRENTLY have the PREPARE Magazine Facebook Page so we can keep in touch between the issues! So go by and ‘Like’ us, because we already like you! 
For so long, the preparedness journey felt like one of isolation. Either due to paranoia, self-imposed design or the sheer misunderstanding of the journey or embarrassment, imposed isolation or choice – the means don’t matter as much as the fact that it can be a lonely journey…if you let it be.
At one point people who felt the need to prepare thought it was all on them alone to do so. The reality is, no one can be fully prepared, or even mostly prepared while alone or even isolated as a family. There will always be an area in which your immediate circle lacks either a skill, tangible good or ability.
Thankfully, many people are waking up to the need to prepare for an uncertain future. This helps break down the walls and create more opportunity to connect.
Take a moment to browse around this website and see all the avenues by which we at PREPARE Magazine are trying to build cost effective and free bridges to connect with others so that you can be more prepared, but not alone:

We would like to encourage everyone to connect to build those smaller communities that can bolster each other when the going gets tough. After all, most great countries were built upon the foundation of small resilient communities. Times like these show us how important it is to re-fortify that foundation!
