We got an email from someone who was inspired by his own experience giving blood to implement the first-ever virtual blood drive. To give it focus, he's targeted sales professionals.
In an "attempt to rally one of the largest professional groups in the world to donate blood," his company has proclaimed the last week of this month to be the first "Global Sales Blood Drive." It seems this is a time of year when need is up and supply is down.
If you're a salesperson who'd like to be part of this effort, go to www.salesblood.org for details. It's a Wow! Project, and you can help to make it more so.
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

Thanks for the post, Cathy! I've passed it along on my blog to give people ideas and encourage participation. Yet another example of how we can use the Internet to improve the quality of life and business. (It's not all us bloggers just blathering ;-)

What a fabulous idea Cathy - how the web is transforming traditional ways of doing things is awesome. Yet another example of 'people power' and cutting through red tape to make things happen. Thank god for 'doers' rather than 'planners.' Wonderful - I wish it was happening in UK.
