Local witch, Helga Wormwood, filed a hit-and-run report with the sheriff’s department late Halloween night. According to Helga, the perpetrator was “Hexing and Driving” and failed to stop in a timely manner.

Help Chris have the Birthday of a lifetime! You can send a Birthday card to Chris Ramirez for his big Birthday bash!
Special thanks to our friends at cherabfoundation.org for sponsoring the big day for our friend Chris!

“He was being pushed aside to the point where he would sit by himself at lunch, and they would throw food at him.”
By his mother’s account, Chris has been bullied by his peers so much that he comes home, isolates himself in his room and cries.
Chris explained the difficulty of being alone among his peers. “Kids always have friends and all, and that just makes me sad because I had like no friends, and I’m like, ‘man I wish one day I had a friend.”
The bullseye Chris wears is that of a teenager with autism. A soon-to-be fourteen-year-old who’s never had a real birthday party, despite his family’s best efforts.
Mary said, “we’ve had wonderful birthday parties set up for him with water slides and all the things a kid would love to have and share with his friends, and nobody showed. Not a single person showed.”
That might be about to change. The non-profit Cherab Foundation, through its nationwide anti-bullying campaign called Crowd Funnit, is throwing a community birthday for Chris. The public is invited to join him September 30th at SuperPlay in Port St. Lucie. For fun, games, and growth.
Cherab Foundation President Lisa Geng has seen how a simple birthday celebration can be a breakthrough moment.”By putting a spotlight on that child it’s helping to reduce the bullying and alienation for that child and foster acceptance. In every situation their lives have been turned around after we’ve had an event for them, so it seems like it’s just a birthday party, but it’s so much more.”
“This is the turning point. This is where everything comes back to me and where I can finally put the hammer to the mask and show my real self.”

With so much happening in the world of online gaming, it’s refreshing to actually pick up the pieces and feel the tangible board game cards in your hands. Who’s up for Nintendo Monopoly or Simpsons Trivia?
Books are often overlooked as a pastime by our favourite piece of technology, the TV. Do you know that we spend hours upon hours mindlessly watching television in our week? Sure, Netflix is the absolute best thing that is happened in the Australian entertainment sphere in the last month, but how about putting the remote down and snuggling up with that book that you’ve been meaning to read for months! The only other essentials you will need is a comfy blanket and a cup of tea. Night sorted!
If it’s wet outside and you find yourself with not a whole lot to do, why not practice your cooking skills? Set yourself some time challenges and pick out a new recipe to see if you can nail it this time, no distractions. See what Matt Preston and Julie Goodwin are whipping up in their kitchens!

For a little over a year now, Click2Mail has offered a Mobile Marketing service, making it easy to create a mobile website and design an integrated direct mail campaign with QR codes that point to the mobile site. Click2Mail Mobile Marketing has been a great success, so we’re really excited to announce that we will be giving free mobile sites to qualified charities, non-profits, and community organizations. Check out a sample, just created for the library we profile in this month’s customer success story: http://alleganlibrary.eone.mobi/home.
46% of adult Americans have smartphones, and nearly all of them use their phones to visit websites. But have you ever tried to visit a non-mobile enabled website on your smartphone? Navigation is difficult, if not impossible, and you need a magnifying glass to read the content. Plus page loads seem to take forever. A mobile-enabled website, in contrast, is designed specifically for smartphones and tablets, so navigation is easy and quick, it’s easy to fill out and submit forms, and content is easy to read.
With a mobile website, you’re giving donors and prospects more opportunity to learn about your organization wherever they are – even if they’re not in front of a computer. And, even better, you can include a “Donate Now” button linked to PayPal on your free mobile site, so donors can donate anytime, anywhere!
If you’re a charity, non-profit, or community organization and would like a free mobile website, drop us a line at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or give us a call at 866-665-2787. We're here Mon-Fri, 9AM to 8PM Eastern Time. We’ll ask you a few questions to determine if you qualify, and if you do, we’ll get you set up!
If you are a for-profit business, Click2Mail Mobile Marketing is easy to set up and very affordable. Learn more about the plans and options, and create your free demo site at Click2Mail Mobile Marketing.
Once you’ve got your new mobile website up and running, learn how to get the most from it in our blog post Three-Punch Mobile Marketing Knockout: QR Codes, Mobile Websites, and Direct Mail. You’ve heard of QR codes, smartphones, and mobile websites. And of course we know our old standby direct mail as a marketing tool. But what’s new, and incredibly powerful, is using all three in combination – working together to generate powerful results for your non-profit.
