January 28

I believe in my heart that things are moving forward. Today, I sent out an email to the troopers with very specific instructions. I did not intend to insult them, just give tangible action steps.

Mike and Betsy's online mall is:

http://www.mypowermall.com/mall/158711

Here is what YOU can do right now:

1.Go to THEIR mall, click on the "Get Your Own My PowerMall" button in the upper left.

2.Watch the 13 minute video on World Changer Malls.

3.Sign up to become a World Changer by clicking the large button below the videos. There are other options, but this one is truly the most beneficial to you and them. You'll receive $600/year in gas and grocery rebates which will more than offset the minimal cost.

4. Shop through YOUR mall whenever possible.

5. Purchase American Express gift cards through YOUR mall to use for paying everyday bills and grocery shopping. Amex gives a large rebate back and waives the per card fee for My PowerMall. This is a HUGE component of the pay.

6. Tell 2 or more other people and have them become World Changers through YOUR mall.

In a very short time, we can all play a role in providing Mike the peace of mind in knowing Betsy will be financially secure.

Please keep the positive thoughts coming - tomorrow I will call Cheverus and St. Dom's to follow up and see where they are in the process.

Week 2 day 5

Today, I hopped on the kid's buses in the morning to give my card to each driver. I have a note attached that starts out 'Please read this, it's so important to people right here in Buxton', and goes on to explain the bootcamp. I followed up on yesterday's contacts, but got all voicemails, so I will try again Monday. I am taking Ginny's advice and moving on from the public schools. However, number one on my to-do list for Monday is to contact the boosters in this area. I will continue to pursue private schools. This is really a revolutionary concept that needs to be in the spotlight. My sons go to Cheverus High School. The school challenges the entire Cheverus community to seek the “greater good” and to embody this vision by becoming men and women for others. I have written letters to the principal and the faculty member in charge of their Habitat for Humanity Club. Follow up will be on Monday. I believe that when these school leaders realize that My PowerMall could provide perpetual, increasing funding for the school itself, local Habitat for Humanity, as well as enable each student to select his/her own charity to support, My PowerMall will soar.
One of the bootcampers said it well, maybe it was Herb, when he said to go to people who already have the spirit of giving.
