Stunning Maui, Hawaii, provided the setting for this year's Diamond Destination, as hundreds of Diamond Executives and above spent a week on the island paradise in the middle of the Hawaiian chain. From the moment they arrived at the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, distributors settled into a serene retreat that granted them the most opulent luxuries the island has to offer in food, entertainment, and relaxation.

The guests gathered Sunday morning in the Molokini Gardens for a welcome breakfast befitting the grand occasion it was. Surrounded by towering palm trees and bordering the ocean and a saltwater lagoon, the Molokini Gardens represent just a fraction of the exquisiteness of Maui and its neighboring islands.

Throughout the week, distributors discovered Maui for themselves in a variety of ways. Breathtaking helicopter rides provided an intimate look at the West Maui Mountains as well as Haleakala, one of the world's largest dormant volcanic craters. Hundreds of beautiful waterfalls could also be seen from the skies of Maui.

On the ground, distributors drove the Road to Hana, a 42-mile trek along the largest rainforest in the United States. The journey was one for all the senses to enjoy, as adventurists witnessed spectacular seaside cliffs and breathed in the tropical aroma of the rainforests. Distributors also took to the waters to surf, snorkel, scuba dive, and kayak in the deep blue shores of the Pacific.

When not traversing the island and oceans, distributors basked in the extravagant amenities at the Grand Wailea Resort. Among the resort's magnificent offerings were a river pool that propelled swimmers on a ride down rapids and swift water, passing a swim-in cave with bubbling hot springs, a hidden sauna, and a water elevator to lift guests back up to the start. Guests also received world-class treatment at the resort's award-winning spa and honed their skills on the hotel's 18-hole golf courses and 14 tennis courts.

Before the trip ended, distributors were treated to an unforgettable Hawaiian luau, complete with a traditional Hawaiian feast, a showcase of songs and dances telling the tale of the first islanders' migration to the Hawaiian Islands, and a dazzling fire-knife dance.

E^MV Takes off in Brazil
First, MonaVie E^MV officially launched at the Super Meeting. Nearly 700 distributors participated in the celebration of the new, premium energy drink in Brazil, as did Crowne Black Diamond Executives Brig and Lita Hart, Royal Black Diamond Executive Scott Olsen, and Black Diamond Executive Devon Robinson.

Since the launch, our Brazil office has been flooded with stories about distributors all over Brazil who are successfully promoting MonaVie E^MV at tasting parties and through one-on-one contacting.

"MonaVie E^MV is a product that will revolutionize our business and the market," Mauricio said. "This is a product with a unique formula combined with high quality ingredients, exceptional positioning, and it comes at an inexpensive cost to distributors. MonaVie E^MV is the gateway for thousands of people in Brazil to discover a world of opportunities and a unique lifestyle with MonaVie."

MonaVie Active With Collagen
Distributors also got to taste the new MonaVie Active with collagen product at the Super Meeting. The product is now officially available for purchase at the Brazil office in São Paulo and through the Virtual Office.

With our new MonaVie Active formula in Brazil, MonaVie continues to lead the way in significant product research and development. In addition to 19 fruits such as acai, cupuacu, acerola, pomegranate, and camu camu, MonaVie Active in Brazil has the added ingredient of collagen hydrolysate, and is rich in the antioxidant vitamin C. Collagen is one of the major protein molecules in our body and is present in the skin, bones, muscles, hair, and nails, representing more than 30% of the proteins in the body.

Driving the No. 23 MonaVie E^MV car, Tomas Scheckter finished in 23^rd place at the Indy Japan 300. In standard Scheckter form, Tomas jumped two positions in the early going to grab the eight spot after the first lap. He would continue on pace until pulling in for an unscheduled pit stop on lap 88. His crew discovered an internal problem with the car's gearbox, which prematurely ended his day.

"We were running solidly in the top eight, having a good race," Scheckter said. "It's very unfortunate, but that's racing and these things happen. I just have to thank the guys for giving me a good car and everyone with MonaVie Japan for coming out and supporting me. I'm really looking forward to getting this MonaVie car in the top five in Miami."

Congratulations to Ken and Carol Porter from Washington, Utah, on achieving the rank of Presidential Black Diamond Executive. Here's what they had to say on reaching this impressive milestone. ..

"It has been an awesome journey so far. We knew from the beginning that we had to put everything we had into this business. Part-time efforts get part-time results. All we can say is we are tired but incredibly excited about our future. Who wouldn't be excited?

"We've worked very hard, but we believe MonaVie will provide a lifetime of reward for our sacrifices. What a great tradeoff! We all spend our time, but we believe MonaVie distributors get the best return on their time investment. We travel, play, serve, and love; but, one thing we don't do is stress. Did I say yet that the work is really worth it?

"If you love people—and you better because this is a people business—then, you will never be fully satisfied with only your family's success. You genuinely want other people to experience what you have. It's a big part of what makes this business awesome. If it were only money that we gained, this would be a waste of time. True happiness always comes from serving others."
