'Take Your Mom Online' This Mother's Day
NEW YORK, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- What if for Mother's Day all daughters
could give their moms the ultimate gift of the Internet Age -- one filled with
an endless supply of knowledge, communication and convenience? That's the
thinking behind the second annual "Take Mom Online" program being conducted by
the leading women's network iVillage.com.
Daughters will be able to help their Moms send their own e-mail messages
(free), chat with high-profile women in various fields, and get the inside
scoop on savvy Web shopping. They'll also learn how to go straight to the
best sites available -- on health, careers, personal finance, recipes,
gardening, and hundreds of other topics.
A special site has been created for the program --
ivillage.com. Launching April 20, it will offer
step-by-step instructions, instant support, and expert advice. "We want to
bring all kinds of moms -- soccer moms, new moms, at-home moms, grandmoms
-- into the Internet Age," says Nancy Evans, co-founder and editor-in-chief of
iVillage.com.
A sweepstakes will offer exclusive mother/daughter prizes to participants.
Other features on the "Take Mom Online" site include:
-- 5 Easy Steps to Getting Mom Online;
-- A Printable "Dear Mom" Letter, Encouraging Mom to Get Started Online;
-- Top 10 List: Why the Web Is So Great (for access to health information,
personal finance, recipes, business resources, gardening advice, travel
information, e-mail and shopping);
-- List of Web Questions (and Answers!) Most Likely to Be Asked by Mom;
-- Tutorial for Setting Up and Using iVillage Free E-mail;
-- List of Over 32 Fantastic Things to Do Online to Make Your Life Better

Mother/Daughter Sweepstakes:
As an added incentive to Take Your Mom Online, iVillage.com has created a
sweepstakes for moms and daughters coming to the site. Mother/daughter prize
packages include an elegant diamond solitaire pendant and one pair of earrings
from Mondera.com; a Spa getaway for two to the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in
Miami, FL; and a Mother/Daughter $2,500 shopping spree at Marshall's. The
sweepstakes begins on April 24, 2000, and will conclude on May 15, 2000.
