The program has begun to contribute meaningfully to our subscriber base. We also determined a need for greater emphasis on in-store awareness and signage placement, which is being addressed by Walgreen. AMAC and Walgreen Co. management are currently evaluating the scope and terms of the 2008 marketing campaign.
