A Time To Give Back - Part 2
I have become very fond of these three organizations. Talking to the directors before class, watching them share their passion with my students, and listening to my students as they share their skills with the organizations - it's all been very rewarding. As I said, these directors have invested a lot of time in my students as well, and have helped to make this semester a great learning experience. I want some way to thank them for making this semester great.
So, here's the scoop: For each copy of Race Through The Forest that sells on Amazon between now and the end of November, my publisher, Tiberius Publications, and I will be donating a dollar each ($2 total) that will be split among the three United Way affiliated agencies mentioned in my last post. For those of you who are familiar with publishing and selling through Amazon and profit margins, it doesn't take a lot of math to figure out I'm not getting rich from this offer.
It's a win-win. You get a pretty darn good airplane read on project management, and three organizations (and the hundreds of children they serve) get some great benefits. Pass the word, OK?
What a great idea, Tim. I'm going to ask Tiberius Publications to do the same with my book, Taking Back the Classroom: Tips for the College Professor on Becoming a More Effective Teacher. Thanks.
