In November, Art of Eloquence will be eight years old! We've been having a great time with our visitors/customers with our birthday celebration and we've been giving away prizes! So far we gave away prizes for finding all eight FIMMs that are hiding throughout our site, for playing Communication BINGO over on our Facebook fan page, and we have tons of folks who have earned Birthday Bash Points toward our Grand Prize by either posting a link to any page of our site (and letting us know) or by purchasing any of our speech communication eProducts!
