Upgrades!

We have a few upgrades here at First Responses.

(#1) Some of you have already noticed the 'Social Vibe' gadget on the right column (under the reading list). This is a way for us to raise money for a designated non-profit. All you have to do is click on the gadget and view a short ad. The sponsor whose ad you viewed then donates money to your cause. You can add 'Social Vibe' to your blog, your Facebook, etc.

Children's Miracle Network was chosen for the First Responses site for several reasons. First, many of us have children. Secondly, many of us work or have ties to the medical profession. Thirdly, Memphis is known for the quality of medical care it provides to children. In other words, it just seemed like the most appropriate from the list.

Take a minute to raise money for a good cause whenever you visit First Responses, even if you don't care for the sponsor. And thanks to those who already have. We've already earned 188 baloons over the past week or so without asking.

(#2) First Responses now has its own email address. So, if you have any questions, or a comment you would rather not post on the blog, just shoot a message over to firstresponses@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

(#3) As many of you know, a Gmail account provides you Google Calendar. And that is a great thing, making it easy to share dates and information. So, First Responses now has a Calendar up and open to the public. Just let us know and we can share it with you.

Upcoming events include Soccer at Evergreen Pres, the Men's Retreat, Trunk-or-Treat, and the concerts at the Levitt Shell.
