		<description>Janet,
You're welcome.  I agree that if we all did a little bit, it would make a huge impact.  Your webinar sounds interesting, I'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'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'm doing with PRWeb about online publicity. This is one of the tips I'll be talking about. It doesn't cost and is focused on practical how to tips.

Here'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 "give back" 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 "Deutsche Demokratische Republik" 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 "cause related marketing", 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>
