Wellness International Network, Ltd. (WIN) recently welcomed distributors from all over the world to their global headquarters in Dallas, Texas in celebration of the nutritional company's 15th year of business and to recognize the successes of WIN's distributors worldwide. The 2007 Anniversary Gala was a time for attendees to network and take part in four days of in-depth training and festivities as they continue to focus on the future of wellness.
The celebration kicked off with a day of training at Corporate Headquarters, located in the prestigious Legacy Park campus. Ralph Oats and Cathy Oats invited The Klocks back to headline their Gala Launch Party and maintain the upbeat, exciting tone that distributors experience during training. "The Klocks have raised the bar with every performance and managed to thrill a diverse crowd from all over the globe, time and time again," says Ralph Oats.
On Thursday, distributors enjoyed personalized tours of WIN's 90,000 square-foot Corporate Headquarters. Attendees were able to visit with the employees of WIN's many departments as well as touring seeing WIN's state-of-the-art ARS Distribution System, which proves to be a favorite among distributors as it encompasses the vision set forth by Ralph Oats and Cathy Oats.
Wellness International Network (WIN) recognized hundreds of distributors for their accomplishments during the past year at the Frisco Convention Center on Friday, October 26, 2007. Emerging leaders, distributors involved in the company for one year or less, were recognized as Top Newcomers. Other awards included Wellness Awards for people who have improved their health and quality of life with WIN products; the Top 10 Earners worldwide; Top 10 Business Builders and the coveted Top 10 Producers worldwide, to name a few. One of the most special awards of the evening was the Giving Back Award which recognized distributors who have focused on giving back to their community and spearheading efforts to raise money for causes important to them.
"That's the whole purpose for me," shares Paul Gebbink, #3 Top Producer about why he and his wife, Els, continue building their WIN business. "You can keep earning a lot of money but there needs to be a real purpose for doing this too. I am involved in this business to help people."
During the ceremony Ralph Oats and Cathy Oats were surprised with a special presentation -- a donation of 147 wheelchairs was made to the Wheel Chair Foundation on their behalf by WIN's European distributors.
"This gift of compassion is extremely special to Cathy and I," shares Ralph Oats. "Giving back is something we hold dearly and are so pleased that through this business people are finding more time and money to donate to such worthy causes. We feel honored to have this generous donation be made on our behalf."
Saturday night's entertainment was the high-energy, grooving band, Emerald City, who has been invited twice to play for President Bush at the White House. They were also voted Best Band in Dallas by the readers of Dallas Morning News, Winner of Best Cover Band in Dallas by Dallas Observer and wrote the song for North Texas' Fox 4 Good Day show. Emerald City had everyone on their feet as they danced the night away at the conclusion of Gala week.
Fifteen years ago, in October 1992, Ralph Oats and Cathy Oats opened Wellness International Network's doors with a vision of an unlimited future. "We've been speaking our success into existence before we even officially opened for business. We knew where we were going and how we would get there -- it's remained the same today. We are looking for people who desire to make a change in their life. We have the system and the know-how, we're building a global company with one person at a time," says Ralph Oats, Wellness International Network Founder. He continues, "We're building a billion-dollar company by showing people how to take control of their destinies and teaching others how to do the same. I can't wait to see where Wellness International Network is after the next 15 years!"
