*How? Email them, pick up the phone, have pizza with them – whatever works. It’s not about being pushy. It’s about giving your friends a chance to express thanks for whatever they’re thankful for. It could be a new job, overcoming an illness, awakening to something within their life, chocolate chip cookies – anything at all!

Here’s a quick video about reaching out to our friends in the community: http://blip.tv/file/2855415 (password = Tweetsgiving09)

***Very Important Step: Make Your Pledge

We hope in addition to sharing your gratitude this TweetsGiving, you’ll also pledge a gift of $10 (or more) in honor of whatever it is you’re most grateful for. By doing so, you’re helping to build a classroom, orphanage/boarding facility, cafeteria and library at Epic Change’s partner school in Tanzania, all out of sheer gratitude.

It only takes two minutes to pledge, just select $10 (or more) in the widget below and click on the orange give button. Thanks!
