• MaryBeth BeanBag World News -- Judy/Starbeanie, 14:07:06 07/17/01 Tue
  Thanks Beaniemom for the news
  
  
  Mary Beth's Bean Bag World ... ceases publication. Mary Beth
  Sobolewski shares the following letter:
  
  July 17, 2001
  
  Dear Beanie Friends,
  
  It is with great sadness that I share the news that after almost four years, H &S
  Media, Inc., has decided to cease publication of Mary Beth's Bean Bag World
  Monthly.
  
  My heartfelt "THANK YOU" to each and every one of you that has supported
  us in some way over the lifespan of this magazine. I have always maintained
  that Beanie collectors are wonderful people-they are kind, warm, loving and
  have a very soft spot in their hearts. I have so enjoyed your letters, your
  photographs and your encouragement over the years. I am honored to have
  personally met many of you at Beanie conventions and shared stories of how
  Beanies have touched our lives. You, my friends, are the best!
  
  I was informed of this decision only yesterday early evening, via email, from the
  Managing Editor at H&S. We had the September issue finished and ready to go
  to press tomorrow, but the decision was made not to print. The issue presently
  on the newsstands, August 2001 with Addison on the cover is our last.
  
  This decision was strictly a financial one. Although the Beanie collecting market
  is very strong and will certainly continue indefinitely, the national phenomenon
  is not was it once was. The first thing affected is that a reduced market results
  in reduced magazine sales. Then advertisers -- necessary to the success of a
  national publication - quit advertising. These factors forced H&S to experience
  cutbacks in terms of editorial/production staff, number of pages, paper quality,
  etc. over the last year until this decision became inevitable.
  
  As many of you know, I am expecting my fifth baby in just two days.
  Ironically, this is not the reason for closing the magazine. When Beanie World
  (Oh, how I LOVED that title!) first opened its doors, I was four months
  expectant with my Danny. I was fully planning to continue working with the
  publication if it continued. It was just not meant to be.
  
  Beanie World/Bean Bag World was a very unique opportunity for me, one for
  which I will always be grateful. I am most thankful to our wonderful team of
  Staff Writers-Jackie, Karen, Jacki, Joe, Claudia, Sharon and Linda-that have
  not only done a fantastic job, but became my dear friends in the process. Thank
  you to Harvey and Steve and Bob and the staff at H&S that believed in me.
  
  To my friends at Ty-Mike, Scott, Linda, Annie, John, Lorie-it has been my
  pleasure working with you. Keep up the great surprises that keep us all on our
  toes. And lastly, to Ty Warner-thank you for creating this wonderful product
  that has brought so much happiness into so many of our lives. I am forever
  indebted.
  
  I fully intend to keep one of every Beanie Baby, Beanie Kid and now Beanie
  Bopper displayed in my collection. If you happen to see me in a retail line
  somewhere scrambling over the last Celebrate Beanie or Sassy Star Beanie
  Bopper, be sure to say, "Hi!" :-)
  
  Happy Collecting!
  Mary Beth Sobolewski
  
  P.S. I just received an answer from H&S Media regarding those of you who
  have outstanding subscriptions for Bean Bag World. Please call Subscriber
  Services at 1-888-763-6411 Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM CST to request your
  remaining refund. Apparently, they are offering a refund or Beanbag
  merchandise in excess of the value, whichever you prefer

• Toil and Trouble -- Kelsey, 17:45:21 07/10/01 Tue
  I heard and read there is trouble with another board saying certain things. Don't let it bother any of you that are part of Lovers of the Mouse, especially a company member, let's not let these ignorant and silly arguments get it the way of the mission of Lovers of the Mouse, bringing the love and enjoyment of Disney to others.
