Pittsburgh Gives a Damn

Hey guys! Man, seems to me there should be more Pittsburgh members. The Trib review was the first major newspaper to do an article on 29gifts -- and it was on the front page at that. However, looks like few people read the trib review cause had they, I am SURE they would have joined.

That said, I still have plenty of 29gifts "business cards" to get out to local, open minded businesses. Many of the places I have approached put a stack of cards right next to the cash register so the cards are highly visible.

I could use some help and will be GLAD to slap a pile of cards on you. Otherwise, I will keep plodding along. I am refocusing after getting my own business on its feet. However -- help would be appreciated.

Oh, and if a place is NOT interested in having the cards (like Starbucks), I boycott them and sell their stock. Heh heh.

hey guys!

I recently received 3000 cards from Cami -- kinda sorta 29gifts.org business cards. My goal is to get them in coffee shops throughout the Pittsburgh area. I suuuure could use some help. Any takers? Leave me a message and I will give ya my # and perhaps we can really spread the great message of this organization throughout the area.

Are you getting too much email from this group?

If you don't want to get email from this group, make sure you click the "STOP FOLLOWING" link. Sometimes people join groups and then start getting a lot of email from the group so they leave the group rather than just turn email off.

I think Pittsburgh will really show up. I have a meeting with a non-profit in the area this coming week -- Gtechstrategies.com --- and I am sure they will support this site. I think this is one of the best ideas... EVER!

hey all - I am from the Saltsburg area - I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area! I just joined the 29 days and for my first give, instead of mailing my netflix back I let a co-worker take them home for the weekend.

I don't actually live in Pittsburgh, but am a citizen of the world so belong anywhere. Plus, this little site began as my personal creative project that somehow magically sprouted some high-flying wings. I join all the local groups so I can stay abreast of what you're planning in your area. You you plan a big group give that's interesting to me, sometimes I fly to your city and attend.
