The Members Project

OK, maybe a cheap plug since I work there, but if you happen to be an American Express Cardmember (or have ever thought of becoming one), check this out... what a great way to do a little bit of good...

*************

Presenting The Members Project (SM), an exciting initiative that brings American Express® Cardmembers together to do something good for our world. Join Cardmembers across the country to vote for one incredible idea. On August 7, American Express will bring it to life with anywhere from $1 million to $5 million in funding. Which idea will it be? The decision is yours. Cast your vote at www.membersproject.com.

The Starfish Story

A little girl was walking along a beach that was covered with thousands of starfish left dying in the sun by the receeding tide. Seeking to help, she picked up a starfish and tossed it back into the ocean. A man, amused by her action, said to her, "Little girl, there are too many starfish. You will never make a difference." Discouraged, she began to walk away. Suddenly, she turned around, picked up another starfish and tossed it as far as she could back into to the sea. Turning to the man, she smiled and said, "I made a difference to that one!"
