Dear Santa...

My mom is a shining example of how Santa defines “good”.  From an early age she instilled a philanthropic attitude in us and now as adults the holiday season continues to be about giving back to our community.  Every holiday season I keep an eye out for interesting new approaches to give in small ways - giving doesn’t need to be about large dollar amounts or extravagant gestures.

Here is one easy idea courtesy of the National Speakers Bureau that will literally knock your socks off!

Their “Feet First: SOCKS for the Needy” campaign helps keep people a little warmer over the winter. The socks are distributed through First United Church Mission (Vancouver) and Yonge Street Mission (Toronto), both of which run foot care clinics in the core downtown areas where hundreds of people living in tough circumstances receive treatment for foot issues.

Check it out and be GOOD!

I have always loved New York

I have always loved New York – the buzz of the city is like no other in the world, especially during the holiday season.

We were fortunate enough to plan an event at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this past week.  This iconic location, both historical and exciting, provides a perfect location for receptions, launches and press conferences.

With heightened Occupy Wall Street threats, the NYSE is taking no chances.  As you can see by the photo, security was at high alert with street closures, barricades, hundreds of police officers, and several security check points requiring photo I.D.

Check out all the options they offer for event space rentals:
