Run, Shawn, Run!

Hey Readers, here’s some interesting news from the affiliate blogosphere:
Just heard about Shawn Collins (of Affiliate Summit fame) and this very unique and cool-sounding 5K he’s doing in NYC for cancer research. He’s calling all affiliates to join him in the run. We’ll be at Ad:Tech New York one week earlier and I am particularly disappointed that we won’t be able to stay and join Shawn.

But hey, that doesn’t mean YOU can’t do it!
Read his full post here. If you’ll be in NYC on November 15th, get out from behind the laptop and get moving!

Adsmarket Volunteers with The Shorashim Group for the 2009 Holidays

The Jewish holidays are fast approaching, with Rosh HaShanah this Friday night and Yom Kippur and Sukkot soon after. Like every year, we in Adsmarket volunteer our time helping the Shorashim Group (Shorashim means “roots” in Hebrew) by donating money & assisting with the delivery of food packages in Tel Aviv Jaffa.

The Shorashim Group are a group of volunteers who take it upon themselves each holiday to make a difference, putting food on the table of those who otherwise might go without. They work with the Tel Aviv Municipality, who give them information about who is in need of assistance. They do really great work directly touching the lives of many, and it’s a real privilege for us to have the opportunity to help them.

This morning a group of Adsmarket volunteers got up early to spend time delivering boxes of food to those in need in Tel Aviv.

More about Shorashim Group: Shorashim Group is a registered, nonprofit organization of volunteers who are mobilized whenever there is an important issue to deal with. We have no storage or transport facilities, and rely solely on dedicated volunteers. Among other projects, we meet twice a year, before Rosh Hashanah and Passover, with the aim to bring the Holiday spirit to homes where a smile and the ability to sit around a holiday table are rare commodities. Last Passover (2009), as a result of our volunteers’ devotion and efforts we delivered over 750 food boxes which translated to as many families who were able to sit at the Holiday dining table with self-respect and a broad smile. With your devoted help, we wish to repeat our substantial achievements this upcoming Rosh Hashanah.

We encourage you to donate by credit card on Shorashim’s secure website.
