Day 1: Networking and Facebook

After Day 1 of the Campaign, $3,050 has been raised. Thank you to those who got us going (you can see their names on the donor list on the right side)!

To give you an idea of the power of networking, I heard from a woman who received the Campaign Email and then forwarded it to a certain group of friends, who will send it onto their friends. Then she decided to send it to another circle of people, who will also forward it on, who will then forward it on and so forth. And along the way each person is a possibility for giving.

Here's another example: I created a Facebook Group in the name of the "Yes We Can Van Campaign." I invited my Facebook friends to join. As of date, there are 23 members of the group. Of the 23 members, 9 are people I never invited - others did. That's 40% of the group! And it's all from networking. So if you're on Facebook, thanks for joining the group.
