Pairing UP for SUcceSSBreak Out New MaNagers with the suNshiNe 500 PrOgraM

What’s Sunshine 500? Sunshine 500 allows Members to reach Manager rank faster. Managers, pair up two of your Members from different lines. If both Members earn at least 500 QV in the same month and each sponsors at least two new members, they are considered Managers for that month! It’s that simple! Over 700 teams have been paired!

Benefits and Bonuses In any month a registered Member pair qualifies, they’ll receive Manager-level rebates and commissions PLUS a $50 bonus. If the pair qualifies for three consecutive months, they’ll each receive an ADDITIONAL $100 bonus! (Pairs can repeat three-month cycle.) As the sponsoring Manager, you’ll be paid normal overrides. And every time one of your Member pairs qualifies for three consecutive months, you’ll receive a $200 upline Manager bonus! You can earn this as many times (and for as many pairs) as it is achieved before the program ends! You also receive bonus QV for Sunshine Select, National Convention and TAC.

Grease the baking pan with grape seed oil. Do not use aluminum or glass. Mix the sour cream, margarine, 1 cup xylitol, apple puree and the eggs (whole). In another pan, mix the flour, lecithin, baking soda, baking powder and nutmeg. Now, mix both batches slowly until you have a homogeneous consistency. Place in the previously greased baking pan.

Mix the ¼ cup xylitol with half of the chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and spread on top of the batch (don’t place it in the oven yet). Cover it, and let it “rest” for 6 hours in the fridge. Then, place it in the oven, preheated to 350 degrees, and bake for 30–35 minutes.

Serve hot or cold. If you prefer to serve it cold, you can decorate it using either margarine or non-flavored yogurt mixed with Tofu-Moo Carob. You can also add more pecans and/or cherries.
