Dear Philis,
Please tell Chris (and anyone else you think ought to
hear about it) that Leon Garrett, Itex Broker in Oklahoma City, is a First Class
Businessman.
As you know, I had a last-minute trip to Oklahoma City,
and I called Mr. Garrett about accomodations. He asked me to send him an email confirming
the request and in my haste I forgot to include my account details. He made a reservation
for me, which included holding the room for late arrival, and called me while I was in
transit with a confirmation number. At my request, he then called your office for my
account details to save me the trouble of making an opportunity to get into my luggage
while travelling to get my info.
Mr. Garrett truly "went the extra mile" and I
could not have been treated any better by a commissioned travel agent. It is obvious he
treats every Itex member as if they were his own. He is exemplary of the kind of Brokers
who make Itex great.
I stayed in Deluxe accomodations at a wonderful Wyndham
Gardens hotel for a very reasonable price. I have to believe that members who don't see
tremendous benefits from Itex simply don't inquire when they have a need. Every small
business needs to belong to Itex. More importantly, they need to use it!
Thanks for all you do,
...Dan

To All:
Our last ITEX mixer was superb! If you missed the
opportunity to experience the sampling of the delicious food serviced up by Jazz it Up
Café then please take your very next opportunity to visit and enjoy Jazz It Up Café's
full line menu and live jazz entertainment on the weekends.
Big kudos to our ITEX brokers for once again
giving members a chance to network and meet our new members, eat drink and have lots of
FUN!
To the many ITEX members that did attend and had
a chance to see a few of the Texas Renaissance Festivals characters in all of their
regalia, be excited to go visit them at the festival site early and plan to stay late for
the best fireworks show I have ever seen. Truly the best Renaissance festival in the
country and perhaps beyond. Heads UP...for the mixer members and attendees that received
FREE "purple" tickets good for the Friday after Thanksgiving, those tickets
should be considered GOLD, more information below.
Funtymes & Masquerade attended the Texas
Renaissance Festival this past weekend for the 1001 Dreams, magical fantasies come to life
as wizards, elves and faeries enchanted the streets. We would also like to report savoring
flavorful foods and enjoying marvelously talented artisans and performers, wear
comfortable shoes. Full details regarding the T.R.F. schedule can be found on their
website www.texrenfest.com

Reflecting on last years Texas Renaissance Festival,
first year as members of ITEX.
It was the best Texas Renaissance Festival we have ever had, in 33 years of
production. Attendence and audiences were higher, and we know, it had allot to do with
ITEX. Members who had never attended came because they could buy their tickets using ITEX,
and we are strong believers that once you come to the Festival, you will come back."

Philis,
Emily's wedding was beautiful and we have ITEX to thank
for making it a much nicer wedding than if we had done it with cash alone.
The vendors we used thru ITEX included Celtic Treasures,
who made the bridesmaids necklaces/earrings, plus the mother's necklaces/earrings; Added
Attractions, whom Em was able to order her invitations, table favors, ring bearer pillows,
special keepsake plates, bride/groom mementos, flower girl dresses, shoes and Melissa's
junior bridesmaid dress; Theresa Edwards photography, who took thousands of photos; Atrium
Florists, who did the wedding and reception flowers; and Party Boys, who provided the DJ
and music for the reception -- that guy was awesome he even got the older guests up and
dancing!
Thanks to you guys we were able to help Emily have the
wedding of her dreams.
You guys are terrific! I'll send you some pictures later
if you want. I attached a couple quickly shot photos of the bride and groom with
bridesmaids so you could see the necklaces and flowers. Our youngest daughter is on the
left of the second photo. Theresa Edwards has much better photos which we'll get in a few
weeks.

Dear Chris and Philis;
Just a note of Thanks for all your support
and help launching my publications, "National Law Enforcement News" And my
second Publication, "National Police and Narcotic News", with out you and ITEX,
I could have never lived my long and anticipated dream. ITEX gave me the advertisers I
needed to complete my publications, and with that, help me gain the buying power, with my
ITEX Dollars, to complete the graphics and printing of my publications. Putting more cash
in my pocket, and affording me to expand, when I thought it was not possible. I will
continue to support ITEX and your office, and help spread the good word.
Sincerely,
Brian Brumfield

"Imagine us going to New York City, The great White Way,
The Phantom of the Opera, traveling by a stretch limo!! All without spending hard earned
cash?!! But it is true and I recently did just that all on ITEX!! My husband and I
along with four friends were whisked to New York in a stretch limo to enjoy the play
Phantom of the Opera which I would highly recommend. This was all done on Itex and was
extremely enjoyable. So if you are looking for a gift or a night on the town check out
Itex for all the possibilities!!"

"ITEX works. ITEX has helped build our business by
reserving cash in favor of trade. We have used ITEX trade for printing, client
entertainment, restaurants, signs, graphic arts, business consulting, lodging and more.
Your helpful referals have also gotten us new clients. Barter really is better. Now when

Dear Chris and Philis,
Thank you for your hospitality last Tuesday night,
Febuary 16, at the open house. I, like other members, find it difficult to make the
effort to attend functions such as this. But I had never been to your office in the
three years of my membership; so my wife and I decided to go at the last minute ... what a
great evening! The food was delicious, my wife won the door prize, and, the very
next day I rented two timeshare weeks to an ITEX member whom I had just met the night
before. Total sale of $2,400! members are, indeed, "missing out" by
not supporting these "get-togethers."
Regards,
Ernie Docs
Hi Chris,
"I would like to personally thank you for the work you
have done in helping obtain the services we need for our business."

"I joined ITEX eight years ago when I met Chris. I
have enjoyed being a member ever since the very beginning. I own a wedding portrait
studio and we have photographed weddings using 100% barter. We enjoy participating
in the most memorable and cherished day in the life of our business peer's children.
Our clients are amazed when they realize they could barter for photos, videos, flowers,
limos, invitations, rehearsal dinners, gifts for bridal parties, air fare, honeymoon
packages, etc. This also saves you a big chunk of your cash dollars.
Finally , when their child or your grandchild is born we share in watching your child grow
in our "Watch Me Grow" program."

A Very Warm Greeting,
"My name is Robert H. Sorge. I am a doctor of Naturopathic
medicine and the director of the great Abunda Life Health Retreat and Medical and
Nutritional Testing Clinic, located at 208 Third Ave., Asbury Park, N.J., only steps from
the beautiful beach and ocean.
Abunda Life has been at the Jersey
Shore since 1975. We offer a number of unique holistic medical services under one roof,
including in house five day intensive purification body fat loss, naturopathic
detoxification boot camp. Our clinic offers an in-depth nutritional testing and personal
health evaluation using the latest scientific breakthrough technology in diagnostic blood
analysis for nutritional assessment purposes.
We have been members of ITEX ever
since the first started in New Jersey under Chris Christensen, who is one of the most
outstanding men that we have ever met. He is the type of man who can never do enough for
you - service should be his middle name.
We have seen ITEX grow from a small
hard working company to a large hard working company. ITEX is now number one in the
nation. Barter aside from being practical from a business standpoint is a lot of fun. You
get to meet people you would not ordinarily meet and you get to do things and go places
you'd never go with ITEX dollars that you never had.
The way I look at ITEX barter dollars
is it's revenue that I never would have had. So if you haven't done so yet, join the
fun!"
Sincerely,
Robert H. Sorge, N.D., PHd
