Attention Winners of the Workbook - Please Read!

Okay everybody - if you are one of the 7 lucky winners of the special event planning workbook, I need you to send me an email so I've got your email address. Syd and I spent an hour trying to find a couple of you - and because we've got 0ver 500 people registered, we decided this would be faster!

So, if you posted a comment in the blog earlier about why you wanted to win a copy of the book, you won! Send me an email (in case you don't know the address - and I don't want to get slammed with spam, so here's the code: it's my name with a period between the two and then "G" mail.)

As soon as I get your email, I'll forward it to Syd, she'll send you the release and we'll get you your copies of the workbook.

Oh, and just so you know, I just added 15 more pages to it, because I thought of some other worksheets you will be able to use!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Cheryl and Syd

Winners of the Special Event Planning Workbook Announced!

Hey everyone!

We're announcing the winners of the 5 "Special Event Planning Workbooks" that we are giving away...And I have to tell you that Syd and I had a really hard time choosing! In fact, to give you an idea of just how hard it was, Syd put it this way when I couldn't decide so I tossed the burden of choosing directly in her lap:

"Break my heart and stomp on it why don't you? There are 7 comments and each one is equally in need of assistance and could really use the book! The only way I can see to to choose 5 winners is to pitch a coin or pin the tail on the non profit with the most dire situation."

So, here's what we decided: We're not deciding!

We've officially declared each of the 7 VISTAs who took the time to post to the blog - a WINNER!

Yep! We're giving each one of you a copy of the book!

So, here's what's going to happen next. Syd is putting the finishing touches on a release form and she'll be getting in touch with you in the next day or two to tell you how you can get your hands on the workbook.

So, congratulations to: Tammy G., Katy Irving, Erin H., Beckie Clere, Katie McKeown, Nat and Michelle! You did an excellent job of presenting your case and showing us why you deserve to win a copy of the book!! By the way, if you don't hear from Syd by Friday, make sure to send me an Email, so I can send her your email address and she can send you a note telling you what to do next!

And can I just say that Syd and I both appreciate each and every one of you who is reading the blog, checking out the Activist Guide Website and attending the free monthly teleseminars. We appreciate and admire your honesty, your dedication and your passion to making a difference in communities all across the country. And we are truly and deeply honored by the trust you're placing in us - and we are going to keep trying to give you the kind of information that you want and that will help you to do your jobs to the best of your ability! You guys rock!
