All eyes on the Isles

Fresh spate of online comments about what is happening with our Amway business in the United Kingdom.

Well, the opportunity IS open to everyone…

Okay, complete this series: Britney, K-Fed, Hannibal Lecter, Chee-tos… Amway?
Well, you be the judge.
Don’t know what it says about us that we had to hear about this from a dentist. Worse, not sure what it says about the dentist.

The mood is good

We just released our sales numbers for 2006.
Overall, we are in full swing:

Ordering the courts

A hallmark of U.S. culture: Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Like the gentleman who wrote us the other day to complain that the Orlando Magic weren’t giving guard J.J.

Gerald R. Ford

Long before he became so important to U.S. history, back when our company was just a start-up, Gerald R. Ford was our Congressman, our neighbor, and our friend.

Now, it’s the A-rena

Yes, it is true, the old O-rena, the former TD Waterhouse Centre, the “Arena in Orlando” will become Amway Arena.
No, our licensing agreement will not require Stuff the Magic Mascot to toss samples of SA8 out to fans. Nor will we replace official game programs with reprints of Consumer Reports.

Dick, you done us proud

We’ll leave the political analysis to the people who do that for a living. But here’s what we know this morning:
Regardless of our personal politics, the people of our company are proud of Dick DeVos.
We’re proud of the example he set in his willingness to serve. Proud of the way he represented our company.
Dick is […]
