I want to thank everyone who has signed up in support of my online networking event for charity – First Thursday. As a reminder, this premiere event occurs on Thursday, October 2, 2008, which is just 2 days away. All you need is a telephone, an internet connection and 10 bucks. (All proceeds go to charity.)

THE WORTHY CAUSE THIS MONTH IS: GO MAMELODI

The charity being supported in October is “Go Mamelodi.” Go Mamelodi is a charitable initiative focused on building homes, planting gardens, teaching children and transferring sustainable skills to assist families in Mamelodi, South Africa. Amybeth Hale will personally receive these funds to sponsor her visit there. She will also act as a correspondent, taking pictures and blogging about her activities and how your contributions made a difference in the lives of so many people.

Amybeth will be traveling with Crossroads Community Church, a Cincinnati-based non-denominational Christian church. Crossroads made headlines in 2006 with their Go Mamelodi initiative and was featured on local news stations in Cincinatti, OH. Below is a clip of a newscast describing their successes.
