Another route you might want to consider is setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website.

Raising support online is much simpler and more tidy than raising funds via cash or check (most sites can link donations straight to your bank account through a merchant processor). And having a group page gives you a central place to post information, photos and let people know what you do - this helps you promote your cause to friends, family and whoever else you want.

There are plenty of sites these days that help groups meet their goals - here are some good options:

First Giving (www.firstgiving.com) is a solid one. They charge about 5% on donations raised and have a simple structure to set up your page (though you may have to be a certified non-profit to register with them).

If that's the case, another option is Empowered (www.empowered.org). They process about 3.5% on donations raised, offer lots of tools to help organize/fundraise, and I know they support all small groups, regardless of non-profit status.

And you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.

Good luck getting your fundraising going

A guy by the name of Brown got the ball rolling. He was a sales guy with a great idea that history will tell how his process has changed the world.

Objects

The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding decades, they have remained unchanged.

  • To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
  • To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
  • To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
  • To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
  • To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
  • To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.

The next great sales guy will go down in history after we all learn how to communicate better, manage better, and serve better every day.

How do you remove recycler.exe from the Computer which has been caused by pen drive?

The Recycler Virus takes advantage of the Windows Autorun feature in order to sneak into your computer. This feature is often used each time you insert a portable media into your PC or laptop meaning DVDs, CDs, memory sticks, and USB drives are possible carriers of this malware. In your case, the pen drive. Since this virus copies itself to all active drives in your PC, it can eventually consume precious space. It will also try to contact other malicious sites the moment you go online so your system can slow down to a crawl.

You can remove the recycler virus by running a scan on your computer to get rid of it automatically. You may also remove them manually yourself if you wish. This site is very helpful in providing detailed removal instructions: http://www.spyware-fix.net/remove-recycler-virus.html

Diversity and inclusion exists when members of an organization act in a manner that recognizes and respects individual similarities and differences such that employees feel they and their work are valued and meaningfully important to the success of the company. Increasing workforce diversification challenges all members of a company attempting to satisfy the individual value. Differences in age, race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation to name but only a few, influence what makes individuals feel valued. Studies have shown the degree to which an individual feels valued by his/her superiors and peers in large part defines his/her work engagement and the value offered to the company. The challenge is a circular one best solved by fostering an organized culture that respects and achieves to embrace diversity and inclusion. But what makes an employee feel valued? Studies show that what makes us feel valued differs depending on our particular position and background. Often, these studies help the needs, values, and attitudes of individuals sharing a common background to provide broad insight to what makes members of these groups seek and make them feel valued. While not perfect, these studies provide a starting point for becoming aware of and understanding individual preferences; awareness and understanding that is becoming increasingly important given the rapidly changing workforce demographic. We can make our community more inclusive by uniting behind the decision: * Demonstrate the group's commitment to equality. * Bring to light different skills, experiences and perspectives, and new solutions. * Increase the company to new knowledge, networks and connections, helping to open doors and increase the community. * Bring special characteristics to the company- for example, young adults often help to start enthusiasm and can also bring with them new perspectives. * Improve communication with other co-workers. * Help to keep the company fresh. We need to examine the company. Changing the culture of a company through more inclusion will often require a change in the way things are done. Ask questions like: * What has your company done to encourage inclusion in the past? * What worked? What wasn't so successful? * Where does the company stand now with regards to inclusion? * Where would your company like to be with regards to inclusion in 12 months time? * How will you achieve this? * Know why you are doing it. A person may feel they have to work twice as hard and be twice as successful to achieve the same respect and recognition others might. Try to avoid stereotyping. Observe, listen to and take cues from the people you are trying to include and take this into consideration in your interaction with them. "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

Yes, an employee can be replaced with a volunteer, but it depends on the context and legal regulations.
