Greetings!
On Friday evening, October 8th, 2010 from 6 pm to 9 pm, we have invited some of the finest event coordinators and planners throughout Southern California to begin planning benefit
all. Ask your friends to join us, if they are also interested in producing the largest single day of giving without barriers, ever held.
Please refrain from circulating event details until you have attended the planning event and understand the ground-rules for this amazing event. Avoiding confusion or mis-information is paramount to its success in the allocated time with the allocated resources. Thank you for understanding.
The notice is late, but our time is short and the need to get started is clear. Thank you for trying to clear your calendar for us.

I have had the pleasure to work with many of those invited and expected to attend. Some I have not. Either way, we will quickly 'sort through' the major areas of responsibility and begin to define and design the requirements and appropriate assignments. Please, bring your laptops or notebooks and be prepared to actively listen and participate.
What is benefit
all?
On December 18th, 2010: A day and place where all share their gifts with each other; seeing real, active charity at work. All have needs, all have gifts; somewhere in this mass of giving people the answer to one's needs will be found.
Every day: Charity, and active Giving: a community of donations of all kinds to organizations of choice through purchase and participation in everyday and spectacular events.

What is in it for you? Who are you? The benefits are endless, beginning with just plain feeling good, seeing face to face people who can use, benefit from and appreciate your efforts, in a safe, honest, open and 'even' setting. Then, figure in the exposure already beginning from the OC Register to NBC4 and beyond.... it will be huge. And, some of you will help make it huge! That is YOUR gift to others!
Advertising/PR has already started; NBC4; OCRegister and more on the docet! We even have the OCCounty Clerk offering to officiate the evening weddings.
Who is needed? What kind of people are really needed at this first planning meeting?
- Social Media, marketing and PR (with single point of authorityl over releases for 'message' and security, compliance and insurance reasons)

- Organizers, Organizers, Organizers....for outreach, for onsite efforts, etc... a million things to be 'pulled together' due to the diverse audience and time allocation.
