Welcome Tweets!
I like “tweets,” it sounds like “peeps.” It’s like the techie geek version of “posse.” Did I make up that use of tweets? Man, that would be cool.
Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog! The Philanthropic Family is about infusing everyday life with a love of humanity. Sounds high and mighty but really I just want to raise my kids to think about other people and I hope they will want to make the world a better place.
My Twitter experience is pretty thin so far. I’m in professional philanthropy and it’s pretty full of Luddites. Trying to break out a bit and I appreciate your patience with my learning curve.
I’d love to follow anyone who tweets (even occasionally) about nonprofits, charity, philanthropy, family, etc. I hope you’ll find value in following me, and The Philanthropic Family.

Hi Sharon, Wondering if you had any luck following your post of a few months ago: “Working on piece on why food rescue programs don’t advertise restaurants who give leftovers” – as I am wondering the same! I just joined twitter as “greatertable” and am interested in ways to encourage more perishable food donations. Love your blog, especially being a new 1st time mom!

Hi Sharon,
Just in case you didn’t see my tweet about MLK Day. Why not help MaryMargaret achieve her goal using your tweeting skills that day? http://www.kidsareheroes.com/musicforlife1.htm

Hi Gabe! Thanks for your tweet and for your note. I did see your tweet and checked out Mary Margaret’s site. I appreciate all that you do to help kids accomplish their goals of helping others–you seem to be a great catalyst and important cheerleader for getting kids actively involved for a lifetime of service. Re MLK Day, I’m hoping to get out from behind the keyboard for a day and use my hands in a different way. But I”ll be sure to feature your web site and efforts in an upcoming post on “Inspirational Kids: Doing a Lot When You’re Little.” Thank you for all that you do!!

I really like what your site is about. It is great that you are using twitter. People in Philanthropy need to do a better job at tweeting each other now and then

Dear Family Philanthropy:
In a current world crisis with thousands of unemployed persons and companies with serious financial problems that do not take new employees but that release, we then have to take a key leadership role because it is our own economic livelihood, and this is achieved by working dignified and secure. That is why so important, that I conceived an Educational Project grant dedicated solely to tools to create a genuine labor source to any person who has lost their job, which could not achieve training (for various reasons) or who wants independent and work on their own. Everywhere in the world, we are surrounded by electronic devices that can fail from a bad product assembly, a defective or broken by a domestic accident. This Educational Project is to teach through the Internet in full, the fascinating world of electronics, and provide comprehensive advice for Students in armed Electronic Projects and Repairs of all types (computers, audio equipment, TV, etc.). So that it can be generating profits while they study. These classes are taught in special form (at the home of each student through the Internet) or satellite classroom (a group of students). The reason for this e-mail to You, Mr. Manager, is the ability to manage a loan of money for U$S 70,000 (seventy thousand dollars) I need to mount the entire system in order to carry out this long awaited Project. Without further ado about it, I take this opportunity to send a big hug to you, your family and your team very closely. Mario Eduardo Sambrizzi. Argentina. maredusam@hotmail.com
