UPDATE YOUR E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTION

Have you updated your subscriber info?  Many of our subscribers were imported from our previous system, BEFORE we asked for your Special Interests, and demographic info.  While all info we ask for is voluntary, it is very important for you to indicate the following information you'd like to receive from us, on the survey form:

• ANY Bread Becker Information!
• Event Updates: Homeschool Curriculum Fairs, Cooking Classes, Seminars
• New Products/New Prices/Special Offers
• New Recipes

 For example, if we had just "Recipes" to send out, we could send it to those people who checked the boxes for ANY Bread Becker Information! and New Recipes, instead of the entire list.

Unfortunately, I cannot change your info, only you can.  AND, at some point in the near future, I will start sending e-mail only to the folks who have properly indicated their preference, so I won't annoy those who have already done so!  PLEASE, follow the link at the bottom of this e-mail to go directly to web page where you can update your subscriber information - THANKS.
