My PR Writing class is conducting a social media experiment for a local non-profit -- the Our House Shelter for the Working Homeless. Using Twitter, Facebook and a blog, the students are generating product donations for the shelter -- diapers, laundry detergent, soap, sippy cups, shoes, even underwear. It's been a great learning experience for them -- I've never seen students as excited about a project.

As a Comm Assist. at a non profit in NJ, we are worrying about the amount of donations to our services decreasing this year. It is wonderful to see how others are still willing to give, including you Heather, in a time of economic crisis. Love it! :) I love this post from @PRTini at #prbc about giving more to get more.

You should throw yourself in that group of people giving. Among other things, what you and Dierdre to with the student chat is incredible. I've been so fortunate to connect with up-and-coming PR students through the chat online networking. I only wish there was something like that when I was in school. You rock too :) Valerie,
