We had some serious technical difficulties last week with our mailing list server. We'd like to apologize very deeply for any inconvenience this has caused you... trust us, the last thing we want to do is spam you!

We pulled a quick fix last week and then spent some time looking for a better mailing list providers. We just switched over - this doesn't mean too much is going to change with our newsletter lookswise, but it'll mean less errors! We had to reassemble our list though, so if you're receving this in error, we are truly sorry and the unsubsribe link is at the bottom of this email!

We really appreciate your understanding... if you have any questions or comments about the ROIR newsletter, please email me at anna@roir-usa.com.

Thanks,
