DONATIONS:



Well, I sent out a newsletter and some info in the Podcast this week about my efforts to send some funds down to the victims of the Hurricane in Louisiana.

One of the readers just pointed out to me that there are some people out there who use catastrophes as a way to generate more profit. (I wasn't aware there were people this low, but I guess it's like any other situation where the unscrupulous see opportunity.)

I wanted to reassure you guys that I'm sincere about the donation offer I just mentioned in the last newsletter and Podcast.

I am going to donate a minimum of 15% to the Red Cross of all proceeds from the Advanced Audio Coaching single-issue sales.

You have my word on that. I'll even send you guys a copy of the donation receipt when it's done.

Please note that I am not looking to rake in any profit off their plight. It's purely for the hurricane relief benefit.

If you'd rather make a donation on your own, that's fine, too. Send me proof of the donation and I'll give you a discount of 20% off the audio.

It's sad that we have to be so cynical in this world, but I wanted to make sure you understood my intentions.


Whatever you decide to do, please do something...

And, after I sent that out, I got this letter that that sums it up nicely. Thanks, Jim...

Yeah, I thought about doing something similar. Who CARES what they think? If they are so holy and righteous, let them send their money direct. It's a FACT, though, that many people are more likely to give when they are going to get something in return, SO your offer to donate a portion of your sales actually creates donations that would NOT have otherwise been there.

And this letter points out something that I wasn't even aware of:

You might also remind subscribers to donate blood on a regular basis too-

I did this past week-end,and will continue to do so-

The New Orleans area alone requires over 500 units PER - DAY! under normal conditions... just think what they need now-

A Red Cross official told me all the Blood Banks were wiped out, and because of the filth sloushing around them,people there cannot donate themselves.

Thanks Carlos for all your efforts-

Well, let's all just do our part and help out. Cynicism aside, it's time to pull together.

Have a great holiday, everyone!
