...And I do appreciate you being round....

Paulette Weir at Christian HELP is looking for Facebook users to give HELP some help.

If you have a Facebook account, just click this link to vote for Christian HELP Foundation Inc. in the Chase Community Giving promotion. Chase will give $25,000 to the charities with the most votes.

When you get to Chase's Facebook page, just enter "Christian HELP Foundation Inc." in the search box.

Paulette tells us that this year, Christian HELP is helping more people than at any other time in its 18-year history. "Yesterday, in the first hour and half of being open to job seekers, we saw 70 people," she says. "The lobby was so jammed packed all day that we had to line up chairs outside for people to sit."

With so many people needing assistance, Christian HELP can use all the help it can get.

Every person who attends our Business-Building Lunch Dec. 1 will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 Darden Restaurants gift card, good at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, Longhorn Steakhouse, or The Capital Grille.

Invite a nonmember to attend, and you'll be entered into a drawing for another $50 Darden gift card. You will get one chance for every of your guests who attends.

As if that wasn’t cool enough, your guests can attend the December lunch for the member rate of $20. If they register online, they should click the Member Lunch option and put your name in the comments section. If they call our office to register, they need to mention your name. If you choose to pay for nonmember guests, that counts too.

Our Featured Speaker

David Zerfoss retired in September from his role as president of Husqvarna Professional Products. At that time, he and his team were serving over 10,000 independent retailers and running a $500 million business across North America. And all of it continent on the strength of personal relationships.

Building a business rests on engaging people with a compelling vision of how they can serve the customer, the community, and the Kingdom. At the December luncheon, David will share how God's Word inspired him to ask for guidance, to seek for collaboration, and to expect transformation as the way to grow sales and profits.

Prepare to realize greater abundance in 2010 by nourishing your team and yourself at this month's Business-Building Lunch.
