Press Release Body = Multicultural Business Council, a Rochester Hills, Michigan,
cultural empowerment organization, announced today the continuation and expansion of
their online Holiday Center. The Holiday Center was launched in November to
disseminate information about Bodhi Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, and
Kwanzaa, which all fall during the month of December.

"Today more than ever people want to be sensitive to the cultural and ethnic
backgrounds of their neighbors, customers, and coworkers," stated Rick Weaver,
spokesperson for MBC. "In recent years the traditional \'Happy Holidays\' that was
used to group religious holidays with the New Year\'s holiday has become politically
incorrect. Our membership asked for a web site providing the proper greeting for
each holiday."

MBC launched the Holiday Center with information about the proper greeting for
people observing each holiday, each holiday\'s origin, typical customs associated
with each holiday including gift-giving, the dates the holidays are observed, and
additional information.

MBC received calls and letters from around the world complimenting the
user-friendliness of the layout of the information on the web site.

Originally scheduled to and after the first week in January, the popularity of the
Holiday Center has prompted MBC to keep it as a permanent holiday information
center. Throughout 2007, MBC will be adding other religious and ethnic holidays to
the web site.

"There is a definite trend among people throughout the entire world to understand
the cultures of the people with whom they associate," added Weaver. "MBC wants to
provide whatever tools possible to facilitate is openhanded living."
