Please email this invitation to friends! 24,000 more 29Givers needed by 9/29/09 to reach our goal for our membership drive!
We are now running a major membership drive and need your help. Our goal is to have 29,000 Committed 29Givers adding their voice to our movement by 10/29/09. To reach the goal, we need to add 25,000 new givers to our movement so please help us out by forwarding this email to all of our family and friends and encourage them to join us.
The most successful method of inviting friends is to send an old fashioned TEXT EMAIL from your PERSONAL email account.
SUGGESTED EMAIL INVITE:
feel free to personalize this as you like... we just figured we'd save you some typing.
===============================================================
I recently joined a worldwide giving movement called 29 Gifts--there are more than 5,000 others involved in 38 different countries. We are raising our collective voices to revive the giving spirit in the world and I hope you'll join me today. Our community has accomplished so much in just one year:
• We helped California 29 Gifts member Elysia Skye fund a much needed cancer-related surgery
• We sent Mbali Creazzo, our 29 Gifts Spiritual Advisor, on a humanitarian singing tour in South Africa, where she and her choir performed privately for Nelson Mandela and raised funds for lots of worthy causes
.
• We helped Charity Water build a well that will provide clean drinking water for an African village for decades to come.
The Challenge is so simple. Just sign up at http://www.29Gifts.org and commit to give away 29 gifts in 29 days. Your 29 Gifts can be anything given to anyone... money, food, old sweaters, smiles, your time, kind words, positive thoughts, prayers...
WHY SHOULD YOU DO THIS? To inspire more generosity on our planet. Because to see our world change, we have to do something to change our world. Plus, the best way to attract abundance into your own life is to be in a perpetual state of giving and gratitude.
We believe there is strength in numbers, so we want to have 29,000 committed 29Givers on board by 10/29/09, which is why I hope you’ll say "YES" and join with me to offer your own gifts to the world. This means we need to inspire 25,000 more people to sign up for our 29-Day Giving Challenge right away to reach our goal.
Visit http://www.29Gifts.org today and sign up to start your giving!
Thanks!
P.S. Be sure and pick up the new book by 29 Gifts Founder, Cami Walker. It's on sale at Amazon.com now. The title is 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life. Cami's memoir is inspiring, uplifting and well worth the read.

I'm just blown away that we had a total of 100+ sign ups in about a 20-hour period!! We have 19 hours left and we're 136 people away from our goal.... it's going to be close! I'm going to try and stay awaked until midnight tonight so I can report the final number at 11:59 pm pacific time.
