FPSC's New website went live on April 1. And thanks to many of you, we've managed to work through the programming oversights and errors. There's still more to do though, and we'll forever improve the site. So visit often, particularly those sections we change regularly like Help Us Help You, FPSC Comments and Licensee Q&As. Also, look for your guide to the new site coming in the mail soon.
The website DVD player contest draw is May 15. Your clients have only a few days left to submit their entry by visiting FPSC's website and locating the entry form. When your client submits the filled-out form and gets someone they know to do the same, both become eligible for our draw. Tell your clients they must refer other people to the site to be eligible - the more people they refer, the better their chances of winning.
