With a little help for our friends

I was looking over the totals that have come in to help our friends beat foreclosure this week.

It’s encouraging to see.

Folks from 2 different countries, 5 different states, people that have never met my friends, are all pitching in to help in a time of need.

To help illustrate this, I put together a quick map highlighting the cities represented thus far.

“Official” notes from #thenines

#thenines logo

The videos aren’t out yet, but you can now get a copy of the “official” notes from #thenines thanks to Leadership Network and Catalyst.

Download the notes.

If I’m not mistaken, these were the notes that ran alongside the videos as they played.

And according to today’s email update:

…watch THE SHOW next Tuesday, September 29 to find out where and when they’ll release all the videos. If you like, they’ll even send you a reminder so you won’t forget to watch.

American Dream, after Grant Wood

UPDATE: I’ve updated the links to Paypal to help track the money coming in easier.

This morning, I sent out a cry for help via Twitter and Facebook ::

Lots of good stuff in there. Well worth the 25 minutes.

You can read my notes from watching it the first time.

What’d you think? What notes did you take? How will you take these ideas and apply them in your community?

Some great Twitter peeps

You know, I’m still amazed that folks find my blog, read it and subscribe to it.

I’m also amazed that folks find what I share on Twitter worth while. But for some reason, I just crossed the 600 mark with my Twitter followers and I just want to say thanks!

For whatever reason you’ve decided I’m worth some of your time. Thanks.

I know I don’t follow everyone (I’m currently following about 400 folks) but I appreciate the time you’ve taken to follow me and share life with me. So HUGE PROPS to all of you!

UPDATE: @walter tells me that Twitter Mosaic only shows 400 or so people, so I’ve changed out the mosaic to my Twitter Friends (those I follow and they follow me back) — since I’m only following 400 or so folks, hopefully no one will get left out.

Just look at all these beautiful faces!
