Where To Start? / Making Things Happen!!! ...
We weren't sure where to start, than we received Friday's e-newsletter from Teresa's Family Cleaning - TeresasFamilyCleaning.com. Its chock full of quality info for all who receive. In addition to cleaning tips and specials, there's info on networking events and even more so, charity events for non-profits across Long Island. Teresa features area businesses and happy to say, 516Ads.com& 631Ads.com is one of them.
Teresa's email is also a perfect example of what's happening in the Long Island business/ community. The days of just placing an ad and waiting for people to come to it are over, Teresa and thousands of Long Island business people are getting out there and making things happen!!! Beautifully, they help out Long Island charities while doing so!
Teresa is not alone, 516Ads.com& 631Ads.com is proud to work with commercial real estate & sign pro Michele Michael - Signs.li who helps run events for the Long Island Commercial Network, the Melville Chamber and she heads the Long Island Business Force. Our buddy Steve Cochrane - GreetingCards.li kicked off tons of business activity with Panera Networking & teams up with networking superstar Helen Zagaro - Promotions.li to bring us The Lunch Break! In addition to igniting business, the Panera & Lunch Break events have done great work for local charities.Valentina Janek and the LongIslandBreakfastClub.comteam stir up lots of activity, including national media exposure. Networking leaders like Maria Morales-Prieto - The Hispanic Network - thntoday.com, John Hill - LIASB.com, Donna Cariello - TheLongIslandWay.comand many others (Ken San Pedro, Yvonne Bisk, Sherrie Gillespie, networking buddies Evantz & Dean) work hard to make things happen!

In A World Where Hate Makes Headlines/ Just A Thought ...
You won’t find this is Newsday, The New York Times or The New York Post J
Goodness needs a marketing campaign.
The problem with goodness is this.
Goodness is quiet.
Goodness doesn't like to make a fuss.
Goodness just wants everything to be OK.
In comparison to a billion dollar day negativity machine, goodness is fragmented.
In a world where hate makes headlines, goodness needs to speak up!!!
Here’s the Thought …
Goodness needs to speak up ... in a unified voice ... and as long as it's going to … it might as well say something smart!
LEARN ♥,spread the word!!!
