		<description>Janet,
You&#039;re welcome.  I agree that if we all did a little bit, it would make a huge impact.  Your webinar sounds interesting, I&#039;ll have to see if I can attend.  I retweeted it for you too. ;)</description>

		<description>Amanda,
Thank you for this writeup - I found out about Lisa&#039;s efforts through Twitter. With a lot of people hurting this year I encourage companies to look for ways to trade their services, time or product to help organizations that reach people in need. 

I want to invite everyone to a webinar I&#039;m doing with PRWeb about online publicity. This is one of the tips I&#039;ll be talking about. It doesn&#039;t cost and is focused on practical how to tips.

Here&#039;s the tweet
Webinar: Practical how-to advice 2 get online publicity. SIGN UP: http://bit.ly/2qA9Mu with @PRWeb @PublicityGuru @onlineprbook 

Best

		<description>How does marionberry taste? I am fan of sea-buckthorn and aronia berries.

Amanda: I have to challenge you regarding the duty to &quot;give back&quot; to the community? This idea could lead to dangerous consequences. It is important to remember this during these times. 20 years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. In the &quot;Deutsche Demokratische Republik&quot; you had to give back to the community all the time. Your own life was not worth anything.

Please note that I am not against charity or that you voluntarily give away things as &quot;cause related marketing&quot;, but the thing is that these actions could only happen if we defend the free market system on a philosophical basis. The starting point of a business community is the individual and a specific company. The individual and the company have the rights to their fruits of their labor.</description>
