Way back in 2007, we started the tradition of setting aside November to shower NTEN members with free programming and daily prizes.

Here's an overview of what you can look forward to this month:

> Daily prizes: every week day leading up to Thanksgiving Day, we will be giving away prizes to randomly selected NTEN members right here on our blog.

> Free Member Appreciation Webinars: just look for "Member Appreciation" in our webinar calendar, which means that these webinars are free and just for members!

> Member-contributed Newsletter: NTEN members show off their work and expertise in this month's NTEN newsletter.

> NTEN Appreciation Grand Prize: members who renew for 2011 before December 1st (including those who already renewed in October) will be entered into a drawing for a huge NTEN thank-you pack of NTEN Gear, a 2010 Webinar Season Pass, and a free 11NTC Registration. That's about $700 worth of prizes!

And we're kicking things of with our first prize of November:

Kathy Bull, of the North Carolina Zoological Society
