Welcome to the September edition of the 5 Star News. Check out our exciting NEW 5 Star programs and be sure to catch the latest 5 Star merchant news & updates below.
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEW 5 STAR WEB SITE
We are in the process of redesigning the site, blog and forum with a new logo and a clean new look. Should be finished some time this month. Colors and layout could go a little wonky as we test out new elements of the design and get all the various design elements incorporated into the forum theme. Hopefully most of the construction dust will be behind closed doors, 
but if you see anything out of the ordinary, it's probably intermediate tweaks being made. <img src="http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/5starSEPline.gif" border="0" height="18" width="530" />
