TWO REQUESTS FOR HELP

Here are two requests that BeliBlog readers may be able to come to the rescue on. One is from my good friend and mentor, Ford Church, while the other is a referral from a friend here in Indy:

Multimedia Projector: The Cottonwood Institute is in need of a multimedia projector to give presentations to help spread the word about our programs. If you, a colleague, or your company is trying to upgrade your multimedia projector and are looking to donate your old one for a tax-write off, please contact me at (303) 447-1076. Please feel free to forward this request to any contacts in your network. For more information about the Cottonwood Institute, please visit our website at: www.cottonwoodinstitute.org.

Mini Marathon Spirit Competition: This year I am overseeing the Spirit Competition that goes on during the Indianapolis Mini Marathon. Cheerleading squads line the route of the Mini and cheer on the runners and walkers. This is actually a competition for them in which the first place squad wins $1,000, 2nd place gets $500, and 3rd earns $250. Typically, the judges are runners and walkers at different speeds who volunteers to judge the Cheerleading squads as they go by. Judging is based mostly on spirit and presentation. If you know of anyone, friends or family, running or walking in the Mini that might be interested in helping us out by being a judge, I'd really appreciate hearing back from you. Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting this Mikal. I hope to be able to help Ford (Cottonwood Institute). Without you posting this I would not have known he was in need of this sort of assistance.

Mission accomplished: Got Ford two multimedia projectors...

Just to update everyone, the two projectors arrived yesterday. Here is to Mikal Belicove, the power of blogging, and our anonymous connector that hooked it all up. You guys are awesome!
