[Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder]

We are now running a major membership drive and need your help. Our goal is to have 29,000 Committed 29-Givers adding their voice to our movement. To reach the goal, we need your help, so please forward 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.

===============================================================

Hi Friends,

I recently joined a worldwide giving movement called 29 Gifts--there are more than 14,000 others involved in 42 different countries. We are raising our collective voices to revive the giving spirit in the world and I hope you'll join me today.

The 29 Gifts 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, which is why I hope you’ll say "YES" and join with me to offer your own gifts to the world.

Visit http://www.29Gifts.org today and sign up to start your giving!

Thanks!

P.S. Check out this great short Today Show interview with 29 Gifts Founder and NYT Bestselling author, Cami Walker. It gives you a nice glimpse into the inspiring story behind the 29 Gifts Movement.

Wow. I fell asleep and 8 hours later when I woke up we had another 47 new givers in our mix. AWESOME!! BIG THANKS to everyone who is inviting friends. 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.

Hi Cami,
I'm brand-new but I sent out invites to my friends and hopefully they'll jump on board. I love it here and am inspired by what you've done, accomplished, overcome & created. The people here inspire me, too. What a wonderful place to be- the energy is great. Thank you, and I hope those numbers reach your goal and then go beyond your wildest dreams!
Love and Light,
Ellen

We have written a new version of our invitation and ask that all 29Givers forward this email invite to friends to help us reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers by 9/29/09!

[Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder]

Have you sent this invite out to all your friends. We're at 5,000 givers now so need 24,000 more people to sign up in the next two months!

Hi!
I'm from Mexico and I'm planning to translate this letter to Spanish, so I can share it with my friends. Would you like to have the Spanish version? There are many people who speak Spanish in the US... Let me know if you want it. I would be glad to share it with you.

[Alyette]

That is an awesome idea :)

[Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder]

It would be great if you could send the translated letter to our 29 Gifts Community Manager -- [e-mail]

[Rossana Carrasco]

I´ve already sent it. I hope it´s useful...

[Alyette]

We can do it! I sent out emails, the badge is on our website and it was posted to our blog! Come on 29,000 :)

[sharon]

Thanks so much!

I am sending it forward or in a fact i will copy and paste it in my emails to my friends, who i think they would be interested for,  because forward emails are mostly not being read and going straight into the trashbins.

Hope you will get more and more fellow givers to this great community website!!
