Friends:
What A Deal I Have For You!
The 8th Annual Ann Cramer/Becky Blalock/Bill Bolling/Ricky Steele Birthday Bash for our Atlanta Community Food Bank Only Needs $632.00 to be able to share over 100,000 individual meals with hungry brothers and sisters across Metro Atlanta.
You have already given $28,914.00, and our Food Bank is able to provide 3 meals for every dollar donated. In addition, on the night of September 11th, 70 of us gathered at the Food Bank where we sorted/packed/weighed/and prepared for delivery, 11,350 meals leaving us just 1,908 meals from topping 100,000 meals.
Because I do not give up easily when I have a goal in mind, I am willing to donate the final $632.00.
To do this, I want to offer you a trade.
As most of you know, the 3rd and final edition of The Heart of Networking was published last year.
This edition has been well received by readers and endorsed by President Carter, Mayor Andre Dickens, former Senator, Sam Nunn, along with notable friends including Eula Adams CPA, MBA, Bill Bolling, Ann Cramer, Allan DeNiro, Bem Joiner, Michelle Nunn, Susan O'Dwyer, John Yates and Pat Upshaw-Monteith.
I will donate 100% of the purchase price for the first 40 books sold this week and I will also pay the $5.00 shipping cost. Needless to say, between the cost of printing and postage, it would be much less expensive to write the $632.00 check and that would be that.
However, as many of you know, I hardly ever take the easiest path. 😀
Because I am confident that my book will be helpful to anyone wanting to build lifelong relationships in a Golden Rule/Servant Leadership kind of way, I am making this offer.
The Holidays are not far away so this would be a great opportunity to pick up gifts for students, colleagues, mentees or anyone you think would benefit. It might just change their life in a positive way.
Having 8,957 First Degree LinkedIn Connections, I hope to sell at least 32 books, and/or a few of you will make a direct donation to the Food Bank.
This is the last time I will share this request until next August when we prepare for the 9th Annual Birthday Bash. https://lnkd.in/eWWyfKZU
When you order, please fill in the section that asks if this is for you, or if this is a gift. If it is a gift, please include the person's name because I would love to personalize an inscription in every book.
Books may be ordered here: www.heartofnetworking.net
To those who already have a copy, buy one for a friend/colleague or please consider making a tax-deductible donation directly to our Atlanta Community Food Bank here:
https://lnkd.in/eWWyfKZU.
This offer is good from today until Monday, October 7th when we close the books on our 8th Annual Birthday Bash.
Thank You, My Friends,
Ricky
